Record yourself practice notes

โœ๐Ÿ“˜ HOW TO SING IN TUNE ๐Ÿ“Œ๐ŸŽค ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”›Season 1. Episode 4. RECORD YOURSELF PRACTICING NOTES ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Sing the note aloud and record yourself while doing it. Play the recording back and compare your results with the actual note. Continuing practicing in this manner until you can sing the correct note. โ˜…Sing loud enough to actually hear yourself. It can be embarrassing to sing loudly while you're still out of tune, but if you aren't able to actively hear yourself, you won't be able to evaluate your progress and correct yourself accordingly. โ˜…Relax and sing the note without restraint. You may hit it correctly the first time you aim for it, but don't be discouraged if that doesn't happen. Listen to the recording to determine whether you need to sing higher or lower. Make the adjustment, then try again. โ˜…Once you do hit the right note, practice singing it several times until you can hit the note directly and without needing to build or ease into it.

Hear the notes

โœ๐Ÿ“˜ HOW TO SING IN TUNE ๐Ÿ“Œ๐ŸŽค ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”›Season 1. Episode 3. HEAR THE NOTES ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Listen to the note out loud, repeating it as often as needed until you can hold it in your mind. Once you feel familiar with the note, replay it in your mind. โ—‹Play the note on a pitch pipe, piano, guitar, or other instrument. Concentrate on the vibration it makes within your ear. โ—‹Many people have difficulty processing vocal notes after hearing instrumental notes, so if necessary, find a recording of someone singing that individual note. Listen to the vocal recording of that note and memorize the way it sounds. For live lessons and interactive class join us on whatsapp via https://chat.whatsapp.com/K4ZqbmJyafn0d4sBLKXZ8r

Practice single note

โœ๐Ÿ“˜ HOW TO SING IN TUNE ๐Ÿ“Œ๐ŸŽค ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”›Season 1. Episode 2. PRACTICE SINGLE NOTES ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Instead of jumping directly into an actual song, work on matching individual notes and pitches. โ€ขThe easiest note for most people will be their speaking tone note, so that's usually a good place to start. You'll eventually progress throughout all notes within your comfort zone, though. โ€ขGo through this entire practice without any noisy, external distractions. You need to focus and hear clearly throughout the entire process, and doing so will be much easier if your surrounding environment remains quiet.

Vocal comfort zone

โœ๐Ÿ“˜ HOW TO SING IN TUNE ๐Ÿ“Œ๐ŸŽค ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”›Season 1. Episode 1. VOCAL COMFORT ZONE ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Settle into your vocal comfort zone. Everyone has a different vocal range, and each person has an even narrower โ€œcomfort zoneโ€ within that range. Identifying notes within your zone will make it easier to tune your voice since your voice will be easier to control within that zone. โ—†To identify your vocal comfort zone without assistance, start by singing a simple โ€œahโ€ at speaking tone. Listen to the note until you have the sound memorized or record it, if necessary. Identify that note by singing it into a digital tuner or by comparing it to the notes played on a pitch pipe. โ—†Starting at your speaking tone note, try singing through the musical scale (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Ti, Do). If your voice strains or you fall out of tune while singing the scale, determine where it happens. โ—†Starting at your speaking tone note, sing through the same musical scale backwards. Determine where your voice strains or where you fall out of tune. โ—†The pitch you sing in and the notes you sing without strain make up your vocal comfort zone.

Master belting for every situation

๐Ÿ“œ๐ŸŽค SECRETS TO BELTING ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽง ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Season 1. Episode 4. MASTER BELTING FOR EVERY SITUATION ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”› The next steps involve many various challenges that allow the Belt to work consistently in every situation and with every variable that a singer might face. For example, we need to be able to ascend as we Belt. We need to be able to sustain while we Belt, and use vibrato and straight tone. We need to be able to Belt on every single vowel. We need to be able to do this at different volume levels, from varying intervallic leaps, and we need to be able to have agility. For me, working on Belting is as valuable as any other vocal technique,what matters most is helping a singer achieve a vocal victory and an inner transformation. โ—I personally donโ€™t care if I am working with a celebrity, a Broadway performer, a young person or old person, a beginner or pro,my job is to give singers the breakthrough they are looking for. Very often, this victory can be found in the feelings of empowerment that Belting can provide. Any singer can achieve the powerful sounds of Belting, I just have to help them find the right mechanism to use inside their larynx. After all, strength, (just like Joy) comes from within.

Make those vocal folds hang on

๐Ÿ“œ๐ŸŽค SECRETS TO BELTING ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽง ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Season 1. Episode 3. MAKE THOSE VOCAL FORDS HANG ON๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”› The exercises I use to teach Belting are designed to strongly encourage the vocal folds to participate instead of lightening into a higher vocal register. This means that the Thyrovocalis muscle, or the muscle of the vocal folds, must remain engaged to keep the folds strong as they stretch out to attain higher pitches. My Belting exercises frequently employ three different techniques: โ˜…I use voiced plosives, such as B, D and the G. For these, I would have my student sing syllables such as bib-bib-bib, go-go-go or day-day-day. โ˜…I also use syllables such as ah-mah-mah, and have the singer begin with a balanced glottal attack. โ˜…The third technique is the vocal fry I use the syllables, um-mum-mum that begin with a gentle and thoughtful fry. For all these various syllables, I would usually start off with a descending arpeggio (in A, these notes would be A4, E4, C#4, A3, or scale degrees 8, 5, 3, 1). We sing these exercises first in a comfortable range, then ascend higher. When done correctly, these exercises essentially guarantee that the Belt will happen. This is almost always a huge revelation for singers because they suddenly produce sounds they didnโ€™t know they could achieve, they simply never realized they could control their vocal folds in this way. Yet, while this breakthrough is an amazing feeling for singers, it doesnโ€™t mean that we have completely mastered the skill of Belting. We have merely awoken the muscular action skill at this early stage. For live lessons and interactive class join us on whatsapp via https://chat.whatsapp.com/K4ZqbmJyafn0d4sBLKXZ8r

Make joy your singing ally

๐Ÿ“œ๐ŸŽค SECRETS TO BELTING ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽง ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Season 1. Episode 2. MAKE JOY YOUR SINGING ALLY๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”› Thankfully, we have JOY! Joy is the most helpful emotion for singing technique and expedited vocal improvement. Joy is especially applicable to Belting because one simply does not force things as much, when they are operating from a place of Joy. Joy is staying positive whether or not things are going your way. Joy is a state of allowing things to be. โ—†You could know everything there is to know about the voice, but if you are feeling a sense of fear, doubt or shame about your voice,all the technique in the world is not going to help you achieve the sounds you want. โ—†If you approach singing from the position of Joy, you will be happy with things as they currently are, experience them in a positive frame, and live in the moment. When things donโ€™t work out quite right, then you wonโ€™t be terribly down on yourself โ€“ because you are operating from that Joyful foundation.

Cracking

๐Ÿ“œ๐ŸŽค SECRETS TO BELTING ๐ŸŽถ๐ŸŽง ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽถ Season 1. Episode 1. EXPECTS LOTS OF CRACKING FROM YOUR VOICE ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ”› When you Belt, you are doing something with your vocal folds that is very precarious. On one side, you will err on straining and on the other side, you will err on cracking or flipping into Head Voice. You will be walking the line between two extremes, where one is too strong and one is too weak. โ– If I am someone who is too hard on myself, easily frustrated and judging myself, then I am not going to like the reality of Belting, which is that you have to mess up a lot. โ˜…The journey towards successful Belting requires you to take risks and be OK with not having a final product right away.

Play simple

๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ Season 1. Episode 10. PLAY SIMPLE ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿฅ Great drummers can kill it. Sit them down at a drum kit and watch their hands fly. But in a team setting, great drummers kill it in a different way theyโ€™ve learned the art of simplicity, they know how to practice restraint in a way that serves the song. They realize that great music has more to do with what you donโ€™t play than what you play. Theyโ€™ve got over the desire to impress everyone in the room. Instead, theyโ€™re committed to what the Holy Spirit wants to do. committed to making one sound of praise as a team. I believe in excellent drumming because I believe our responsibility as a worship team is great. Donโ€™t allow yourself to get complacent. ย ย ย ย  For live lessons and interactive class join us on whatsapp via https://chat.whatsapp.com/9hF9sLLaQUVJVC0VUNkCol
