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 Essence Music Festival is just days away. My itinerary is finalized. I’m packing bags. Now, I just wait until the day I leave for the festivities. Can you tell I’m excited? I can’t wait to share pictures, stories, and video with you. This is sure to be a great time for us. So really quickly....I’m in the South with this brutal, summertime heat. My tip for you is to drink plenty of water. Please stay hydrated. If you don’t, you can risk permanently damaging your vocal chords. So, when you wake up in the morning, drink you some room temperature water. Throughout the day, especially if you’re going to be in the sun, drink plenty of water and liquid. Stay healthy & keep that gift in tact!

Once again, I want to say thank you for all the votes in the Mary Mary & WEtv singing contest. Because of the support, I am going to the 2012 Essence Music Festival. I’m glad I stepped out on faith. I hate contests so much, but I was lead to enter this contest. Many times in life, we are our own stumbling block, mountain, or door. You have to do different things to get different results. I did just that. So, whatever you have going on, just step out on faith and try something that you’ve never done before. You’ll be very surprised at the good results you’ll get!

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.
