Sing Well, Live Happier with Barbara Lewis

I was talking with a friend (who is a singer) last week about some music I've been working on for an upcoming concert. And she said to me: "What's there to sing about? The world is a mess..."

 

I couldn't disagree with her about the world. But I think that when times are really bad, we need to find the energy to keep singing - hard as it may be. So I created a short video about how I keep singing, even at the worst of times. 

 

It's true that I am fortunate. I don't live in a war torn place. I have enough food on the table and enough friendship to support me. Still, like many others, I feel the heavy weight of the awful things that are going on around us. And sometimes, even though I am paid to sing & teach, I find it a struggle to keep that musical light burning. Here are 3 things I do to carry on.

 

------------------------------------------

The third video in my "How do I practice?" series is about 3 specific ways that you can sound more unique.

1. Head voice peak "moments"

 

I believe that all of us have abilities that we simply have not explored... YET. And these things CAN give us a more distinctive sound, with a little work.

 

When you find something unusual that you LIKE to do and/or you WANT to with your voice, your singing life changes!!! You feel more motivated. Your songs have more lustre and you feel more like practicing. No small thing!

 

So take a look at this brief video. This one is more about showing you some possibilities, rather than actually teaching you how to do them. I give you ideas and a couple of examples. So it's brief and fun, I hope! (7:30)

 

Video #2. Working on head voice, mixed voice & speech (or chest voice)

 

Video #1 - Get your singing day started right and with ease.
 

As always, I wish you great singing!

Barbara
