Move Your Hips!

4/20/2020

0 Comments

 
As singers, our whole body is the instrument. And as with any physical instrument, the first thing we have to do is learn how to hold it.

Proper skeletal alignment is KEY to playing the voice. But tight hip flexors could be throwing the whole thing off. Try a lunge to lengthen your hip flexors, bring the pelvis into neutral, and the whole spine back into alignment.

Curious about other ways to stretch your hips and find better alignment? Check out Yoga for Singers ONLINE.

Much as we hate to admit it, you can't check your ego at the door. You will always have it with you. So you may as well get to know it.

An ego that's in check frees us to be true artists and servants.

​Forward folds quite literally help us to get over ourselves. We take our top half and we fold it over our bottom half. We open the softer yin side of the back body, and pacify the ego which lives on the front body.
Get over yourself this week with a simple forward fold.

Words are hard!

Words are hard! Certain letters (especially vowels) on certain pitches can make a pitch that is usually well within your range feel difficult.
Straining on a high note? Try changing the vowel to "uh" as in FUN (because singing is fun)! Imagine the vowel vibrating all the way down to your belly.
Is it easier?
