Okay, I don't care for traffic - I know, who does?
Why is it so hard to be where we are?
Often when I drive I just want to be where I'm going. When I sing, I just want to be where I'm not vocally. I want to be better.
When I'm on a plane I just want to be at my destination.
The journey has never really been fun for me. That's too bad. The journey is the real joy. Does the journey ever end? Do we ever arrive?
Is life a destination or a journey?
Okay, I'll lighten up. (-:
I do think you'll enjoy today's podcast as I did it from our mini-van!
If that's not enough reason to listen then there is no convincing you. (-:
But I do cover a lot of the above and you can here my process if that helps.
Listen to my bout with perfectionism...it's only been going on about 40 years!
Enjoy!
How to gain more confidence is by far one of the most important things I'm asked.
As a matter of fact, when it comes to singers, the biggest desire is better high notes (no surprise), however, the second - you guessed it, how to get more confidence as a singer.
In this episode I offer some tips on how to feel confident and how to be with yourself when you don't feel confident.
Some things may surprise you...And that's okay. (-:
Listen and enjoy!
It was way back in the 80's when I first realized how easy singing was supposed to be.
This was a HUGE shock!
I used to be the "push a piano with your diaphragm" type.
I pushed my voice beyond ALL realistic proportions and didn't even know i was doing it.
Eventually, I woke up to the idea of singing for the feeling.
When it feels easy it will usually sound great.
Now, I'm not being "Pollyanna" here. But usually, if it's pretty easy, that suggests pretty balanced which will result in a nice, authentic sound.
If you're one that sings first for the sound, this will be VERY important for you.
Anyway, listen and enjoy.
Have you ever felt like just quitting singing?
I have a million times.
I almost quit this podcast for the same reason!
Do you ever find yourself thinking, "What's the use, I should just give up"?
In the first part of this episode I'll tell you why I almost quit this podcast. And how I became aware of what was going on. Hint - I had some help.
Do you trust your intuition regarding your singing?
Do you "push through" with will power?
Do you have someone in your corner that you trust as a mentor or guide?
What does the World Series have to do with singing?
Everything - as usual...(-:
Enjoy!
