Hold onto the joy of singing.
Getting down to it, let’s not forget about the joy that singing brings to us. We can talk about technique and auditioning forever, and I am sure we will… But why do you sing, why do you love to sing? We need to hold on to it and stay strong with it when the auditioning, technique, or frankly cost to keep going is pulling us down.
For something we do because we love it… there sure are a lot of negative elements that can get in the way.
Remember: I love to sing because…
I am good at it.
It makes my body feel good.
Creating beautiful sound through my body is such an amazing experience.
I love music.
It calms me.
It makes me feel free.
So many things can hold us back from remembering or even being able to enjoy why we sing in the first place. It is important not to let ANYTHING tarnish the beauty of music for us. Whether it is judges, friends, bad auditions, being unable to get a record deal… None of that should take away why you sing or hold you back from doing it. Whether you are singing in the car out of joy to the radio or in a band trying to get a touring gig, you need to protect your love for the art. Put a protective box around your joy of singing and don’t let any one in no matter the situation. Don’t loose site of why you sing.
I write this because I have just seen so many beautiful disheartened singers.
I created Voice Lessons To GO, so that I could spread good singing instruction to anyone who wanted access to it. I just don’t want anything to hold you back from such a powerful thing.
I would love to hear why you love to sing…
