Typically, you’re at your vocal in your late 20’s or during your 30’s.  Your chance of getting to this point is increased with vocal lessons.  I saw an award show last night where one act should have been a prime example of this, but it was clear that wasn’t the case.  Many of you want to be on stage constantly in front of your fans until you’re old and gray.  That’s definitely possible, but you’ve got to take the proper steps.  Barbara Streisand, Patti Labelle, and others are still doing what they love because they have vocal coaches helping to keep their voice in tip top shape.  At this point, I urge you to make a decision about your vocal career.  Where has it been?  Where is it now?  Where do you want it to go?  If you’re serious about singing, stop making excuses and get vocal lessons.  They’re affordable and necessary.  Remember, this is your life.  You are responsible for your success.  Since this is supposed to be your passion, go all out.  Do everything in your power to be at your vocal best to get the vocal results you desire!

Such a pitch!

The identification of pitch accuracy while singing or playing music is intonation.  Pitch can either be flat, sharp, or both, simultaneously.  If your vowels aren't formed correctly, the result is definitely bad intonation.  So, practicing the vowels, ah eh ee oh oo, will help you to significantly improve your intonation.  Get in front of your mirror, which as a singer, should be a close friend.  Practice.  Your mouth should change a little when singing the various vowels.  Singing in tune and on the right pitch is detrimental to the singer and musician.  If your performance is going well and you've taken your audience to a place, that bad note is equivalent to getting into a  sudden car accident.  That's not to say that bad notes won't happen, but practice can minimize them.  So, that's my quick tip on intonation and how to improve.  Continue to get better daily!  I believe in you!   Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer.  Sign up at http://www.dileesahunter.com/summer-camp.html

3 Things You Should Work on in Your Singing Lessons No Matter What Your Level Is!

I love my job. The best part of it is seeing my voice student's reaction when their voice begins to transform into what I envisioned it could be when I first heard it. There is usually much more work to be done with a new student, especially one who has never even taken as much as a chorus class in their life. I usually have 3 major focuses with a new student, regardless of vocal skill.

  1. Breathing techniques- Strong breathing techniques lay the foundation for vocal endurance and vocal control. Being aware of when and how you inhale and exhale will enhance any singer's skill.
  2.  Projection techniques- This explores how to make sound, independent of 'singing sounds'. It frees the voice, because you are learning to free your throat and allowing your voice to sound more natural, as if speaking.
  3. Tone control-  This is where your singing starts to sound polished. You learn to avoice shounding 'shouty' along with was to attack, sustain and release notes.
        This is an exciting process  for a new voice student. It opens up a world of ppssibility for their singing. Within this time they will havve learned to sing higher notes, sing with a stronger voice  and for a longer period of time with the least amount of effort. Who could ask for anything more?
