Week 5: Control

1.  Don't let anyone tell you to 'Just Relax'; you'd fall over! Singing requires EFFORT from groups of Muscles in the body, neck, & vocal tract.
2. I meet TOO many Singers being taught by their teachers to Support with the Diaphragm! This is ONLY a Breathing Muscle. Seriously Alarming!
3.  Are you in control of your Larynx & how it changes position to access greater range & different Voice Qualities? A great singer needs to be!
4. Training a voice is also building a voice! & once built MUST be maintained on a daily basis with well thought out physical & vocal exercises.
5. Common Problems which impede progress/good singing: Lazy Posture, No Support, Locked Diaphragm, Stiff Jaw, Tongue-Root Tension, Driving Air.
