Singing is a tricky thing or is it?

Maybe it’s the fact that we are sharing of ourselves with people that makes singing difficult or hard to understand at times.  The voice is so personal.  It’s ours and although we may share traits of it with close family members, it is still unique.  It’s also how we express ourselves, and therefore if it comes under criticism then that criticism can be interpreted as a criticism of self.  Tricky stuff.

I believe that singing is one of the most liberating activities that an individual can take part in.  Singing is also very healthy from an emotional point of view, whether you are expressing joy or singing the blues so to speak.  It is our right to sing or express ourselves through song and I love to help people “find their voice”.

Most of us are put off singing because we can’t bear the thought of being that exposed.  Others who can bear the thought, are often put off by singing teachers and other singers.

I have encountered a number of different singing techniques and singing teachers.  The best teachers are the ones who let you express yourself in whichever style of music you prefer and don’t try to turn you into them.  The best technique is one that gives you a foundational awareness of your voice that can be applied to any style of singing.  I hope that teacher is me.
