Do you ever give yourself time to sing - just to sing?

Do you ever allow yourself the luxury of singing with absolutely no attachment to how you sound?

I mean really sing for the pure fun and joy of making sound and expressing yourself.

Have you ever been in a "world" where you are accepted just as you are?

More importantly, that you accept yourself as you are and as you sound?

Can you create that for yourself?

Or are you always in the "real" world where you have to sound a certain way and meet criteria and conditions that are imposed on you or that you impose on yourself?

Can you imagine what it's like to sing as a child with absolutely NO concern for how you sound? Where how you sound has NO meaning.

I don't mean you're trying to feel like that, I mean have you actually experienced that?

It's not easy when the stakes are high for your singing - is it?

Is it even possible?

I believe it is. (-:

Listen and enjoy!

In this episode I admit what a whiner I was about my voice and a big mistake I made when I was learning how to sing.

If you're making this mistake or feeling the same way I did, it will definitely slow your progress!

I'm pretty "In your face" in this episode so I hope I don't offend anyone. (-:

Time for some real honesty and self reflection. Always a good thing.

This is an important episode for singers even if it "ruffles some feathers".

Listen and enjoy!

In this episode I look at why learning something new - like a new way of singing a note or pronouncing a word or getting into your high notes - is challenging and sometimes takes time.

This is a great episode for understanding how to shift something once we learn it incorrectly.

Hint - It's not about unlearning!

It's about how the brain learns and wants to hang on to what it's learned. (-:

And what happens to the old way once we do learn something new!

Listen and enjoy!
