So here’s what really happened:
I was sitting at the piano with my 2-year-old daughter a few months ago, and she was asking, (more like demanding), that I sing Let it Go from Frozen over and over and over.
Now, Let it Go, sung by the incredible Idina Menzel is a fantastic song and a belting showcase. It takes a lot of power, and honestly very few people can sing it well and correct.
I can actually sing it quite good once or twice…
(Being that I am a trained opera singer, my belt voice which is quite naturally strong, is not the voice that I tend to concentrate on and develop).
But for my daughter I kept on singing Let it Go, blasting it out…– “again Mommy, again”
Skip to that evening, my voice did NOT feel good. I felt like I had been screaming at a football game.
I knew that I had broken all the correct singing rules. The rules that I teach my own singing students on a daily basis:
DO NOT: Sing through vocal fatigue, push your natural voice to sound like someone else, or belt louder and higher than feels good and supported…
The next morning, I sat at the piano to get my voice back on track. I knew it would take a few days of proper vocal exercises, vocal rest and monitoring. I didn’t have any performances coming up, so I would be ok.
***And then I thought about it.***
There are probably many singers who have felt vocal strain in their voices at some point who could benefit from a group of vocalises that could be specific to healing their tired overused voice and setting their singing back onto a healthy track.
So, I sat there, with my own tired over-taxed voice, and created my latest CD which I am very proud of: (Another result of the film FROZEN.)
