For the solo artist, live shows and gigs are extremely important. Before the creation of youtube, most artists were discovered at some venue singing in front of an audience. Even with youtube, most artists make the bulk of their income from doing live shows. When you're an up and coming artist, your main goal is to get more fans, with more shows, and a longer set. The difficulty most singers face is how to safely transition from singing a couple of songs to 5 + songs. Well, it isn't an impossible challenge to overcome. Practice makes perfect....LOL. This statement is hilarious because none of us are perfect, but practice provides needed improvement. So, everyday you can work up to that long set. Hypothetically, let's say you, the solo singer, have been asked to perform a 40 minute set. Here's what you can do. Start with singing for 20 minutes one day. Then, everyday following that, increase your time by 10%. Doing this will ensure successful long sets. Download your singing product at http://www.dileesahunter.com/products.html
A singer’s career begins in front of people. Someone heard you sing and liked it. From there, more people hear and like it. Then, before you know it, you’ve got more and more people wanting to hear you sing. Many of my studentshave great voices, but before vocal lessons and coaching, they lack confidence. Their posture and body language screams nervousness on stage. Well, your fans can sense that. If you’re giving that energy, they will feed off of it. So, make your shows and performances better with confidence. Vocal lessons and coaching help you build that. When you know you’re singing your best, hitting all your notes, and exercising proper technique, confidence is easily displayed. Once that confidence is established, you will command the stage and your audience. Captivating them means building a bigger fan base, playing more gigs, and performing across the world.

Vocal changes in men are a commonly researched topic. Rightly so since the changes are very dramatic. Puberty comes with a load of awkwardness, and then the voice is very different. Some researchers say that the size of a male’s body is related to the severity of the vocal change. These changes typically occur between the ages of 12-15. There are various stages of development used to classify the vocal changes. The male treble voice is unchanged. It’s similar the to the soprano voice and lasts until age 11 or 12. The initial stage of change is the cambiata voice. The name is derived from the Italian word for change, cambiare. The lower tones get stronger, and the range is more limited. The baritone range is the second stage of change. This is difficult stage for males because it’s very hard to control the changes. The voice tends to crack. The lows and highs are audible, but the middle voice barely gives a sound. Also, the falsetto gets a little harder to reach. During these initial stages, males add more low notes and lose the higher ones. The final stage is called the Developing Baritone/Emerging Adult Voice. While this stage isn’t full adult, the range is expanded more, and vocal consistency is more apparent. So, continue to learn more about your voice and be patient as your gift becomes uniquely your own.

In a perfect world, our voice would never change. Unfortunately, hormones prevent that perfection. The voice is affected by hormones in women and men. In women, certain life events affect the gift. During menopause, some women experience minute changes, while others are dramatic. Among the changes are throat dryness, frequent throat clearing, deeper voice, and increased raspiness. When the vocal tissues get dry, it takes more respiration for the chords to vibrate. Because of that, women get tired from the extra effort. Younger women experience similar issues during PMS, as well. Vocal therapy does help to overcome these issues, rebuilding muscle tone and making the voice produce more efficiently. So, it's safe to say that a vocal coach should be utilized during your entire career. Download your singing product at http://www.dileesahunter.com/products.html
