Vocal cord coordination is key in helping you hit clear crisp notes and also helps eliminate the bridge or any breaks in your voice. Be careful and gentle with your voice during this session. The movements and sounds are SMALL. Don't aim with your ears in trying to hit or push up to notes, trust the coordination of the muscles and vocal cords to GENTLY come together to do the work. It may take a little bit of time to get used to doing it and to access this consistently, but once you do, you'll be able to access more power with less effort and remove fear of vocal breaks and cracks. I hope you enjoy this short but effective training session! Get access to lots more like this in the Weekly Vocal Workout over on my Patreon page!

This is SO common, and you are not alone in this often challenging process! Join me in this episode as I look at the many reasons why this can be a hard cross over, and how to eliminate blocks that may be in the way of you connecting to your genuine voice and singing with true emotion.

In this episode we look at proper mic technique for a gig or speaking at a public event. There are a few very basic things that you can take into your own hands immediately that will give you confidence on stage, help you make friends with the sound crew and get your audience on side immediately! Follow these tips for a successful show or speech that sounds great! Have fun! Tips for Proper Mic Technique on Stage: Distance and Angle: Keep the microphone about 6-12 inches from your mouth, and slightly off-center to avoid plosive sounds (like "p" and "b" sounds). Consistent Position: Maintain a consistent distance and angle to ensure a steady sound level. Hold Steadily: If using a handheld mic, hold it firmly but not too tightly to avoid handling noise. Avoid Unnecessary Movements: Refrain from moving the microphone unnecessarily, as this can create distracting noises. Projection: Speak clearly and project your voice, but don’t shout. Let the microphone do the amplification. Modulation: Use vocal dynamics to add interest, but be mindful of staying within the microphone’s optimal range. Monitor Placement: Ensure monitors are placed correctly and avoid pointing the microphone at them to prevent feedback. Volume Control: Work with the sound engineer to set appropriate levels and avoid sudden volume changes. Eye Contact: Engage with the audience by making eye contact rather than looking at the microphone. Body Language: Use expressive body language to complement your speech, but be mindful of the microphone’s position. Sound Check: Always perform a sound check before your performance to adjust settings and get comfortable with the microphone. Practice: Rehearse with the microphone to get used to its feel and response, and to ensure you’re comfortable with your delivery. By following these tips, you can ensure that your voice is heard clearly and effectively, enhancing your stage presence and overall performance.…

This comes up a LOT with clients I work with, and sadly more with females than males. For some reason there is a feeling that JUST being the singer isn't enough to cut it as a musician, and that it is necessary to be playing an instrument as well as the front person. Don't get me wrong, learning an instrument, understanding musicality and being able to communicate the language of music, chords, keys etc is necessary if you want to be a legitimate artist, and want to collaborate in the industry. But that doesn't mean you have to be a shredder on the guitar to earn your spot as the lead singer or singer songwriter in an acoustic duo. This mindset can lead to HUGE imposter syndrome and hold you back in your artistry. If you are stepping up as the vocalist, be the best vocalist YOU can be. You don't have to sacrifice your singing by fumbling through chords accompanying yourself to prove a point. I hope this episode helps anyone who is '"Just" a singer, and needs to be told that is more than enough to be the artist you want to be. If you are feeling this, and want to elevate your voice to reach your best singing voice, send me an email emma@rockitvocalstudios.com and we can work on overcoming this mindset and getting your voice to be THE INSTRUMENT you know how to use, better than anyone.
