I often say that singing is like speaking, it’s the same essence. Singing is a continuation of the spoken voice. When learning how to sing, we learn how to use the overall voice. And this means the spoken voice as well. We learn how to breath and produce sound, so it’s inevitable that this procedure will affect all aspects of the voice.
We are not singers only when we sing, but it is part of who we are. The things you learn during a lesson are relevant all day long, even when you’re not singing. This means that your new you is also being put to use when you speak.
Some singers have a hard time finding balance in their spoken voice. In this case, your singing voice can lead the way. You notice after a singing lesson how your voice when you speak is more fluid and connected. You feel more confident and loud. Simply because you are using the same mechanism as when you sing.
One important advice I have to give you is that, if you are experiencing discomfort or trouble when you speak, you might want to check for support from a speech therapist. The therapist can help you assess your needs and will guide you through the journey.
