 Finding inspiration to write can be tedious at times. Life is still happening, and it can definitely affect your motivation for creating a beautiful song. Bad moods, disappointing events, death, and so much more happens everyday. So, I’ve learned that sometimes inspiration has to be sparked! Pick up a book or magazines. Someone else’s story or point of view may stir up something in you. Movies have great storylines and music. Take a listen and pay attention. Other creative things can bring out the most creativity in you. Get out of the house! Go to the park, visit a museum, an aquarium, a live music concert.....get outside of your comfort zone. You’ll find something that will send a surge of inspiration through your body. Then, you can create! Getting upset about a writer’s block or lack of inspiration doesn’t solve anything. Wanting change and doing nothing never works! Improve your voice: http://www.dileesahunter.com/products.htmlPhoto credit: Spark
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!

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!

Facial expressions and body language when singing is just as important as the notes you hit. A good tip is to practice in front of the mirror. As you sing your words, focus on your face. Make sure your posture supports good breathing. Some of the legends did several things while singing, like pointing to the crowd, holding their arms out wide, kneeling on the ground during an emotional point in the song. All these can add to your performance and make it more believable. Now, of course you won’t master everything in one night. So, pick one or two things and master them over a week. The next time you perform after rehearsing, be sure to record it. Critique yourself and determine what worked. Improve on the things that didn’t.

Many times, people respond to things according to our own perception. So, as an artist if you have a negative perception towards a song, blogging, social media, etc, then your audience will to. Your newsletter list shouldn’t just be a list. Think of it as an electronic text message to all your fans. We all text. It’s convenient, fun, and does the job when traditional talking isn’t an option. It’d be very difficult to call your fans every time you want to talk. So, the newsletter does just that. Tell them funny anecdotes, update them on shows, give them exclusive access before the general population, etc. The main thing is to keep your view positive so they will too. Your talent got their attention, but you have to work to keep it! Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer. Sign up at http://www.dileesahunter.com/summer-camp.html

Not everyone can sing. Not everyday is promised. When you hit the stage, sing into the mic, or write your next song, do it as if it's your last. Put your all into it. Dig deep. Your sound and music will be so much better. Don't take your gift, art, or craft for granted. The beauty of music is that there's no color, culture, or boundaries. Everyone all over the world dances, goes through bad relationships, struggle, succeed, etc. So, remember your music will touch someone. It will turn someone's life around. Your voice will be the light to someone's life. Stay humble and always focus on making the best music you can. Just think if after your last studio session or show, you were no longer alive. Give your audience the best of you so that you can make a lasting impression! Remember the Young Stars Performing Arts Camp begins this summer.
