Last weekend was really fun at the cottage with friends.
It made me realize how “being centered” is essential when singing.

I while ago I released this video:

Benefits of taking a break

Being centered means:

  • Centered mentally, focused.
  • Centered and aligned body.
  • Centered voice: focused sound when singing.

How do we sing with a center?

  • Do not spread the sound (watch for the forward neck position). The sound goes up towards the head cavities.
  • Imagine you are projecting the sound towards your third eye. A helpful exercice is singing on an [u] sound while placing a finger on your forhead (Jaw slightly open, lips rounded, allowing the sound to go up).
  • You cannot have a good result without a constant airflow. The air will guide the air/sound up and out to the audience.
  • Don’t drive the sound, let it go through on its own!

One last thing to say:

I feel truly blessed to have all these friends around me, and thank you to all my followers for always being there!
