Sometimes its hard to get started again...

Hello Fellow Singers,

I took a hint from my own reluctance to practice this week and created a video for those who keep putting it off. This simple exercise in two parts is the one I go to when I'm am not in the mood. But... as a performer and singing teacher, I HAVE to keep my voice in shape. So on those days when I'm feeling blah... I start like this.  And I hope the exercise is helpful to you, too!

I'm also beginning to do some "shorts" for the Singing After 40 channel. These brief videos are often less than a minute. Or even less than 30 seconds. This "short" is a tiny version (0:59) of the longer video I spoke about above. 

Here's another "short" with a quick tip about finding more colors in your voice. Give it a try!

I'm still pretty rough with these tiny videos. But I expect to get better with time. I think they offer a singer a very quick boost of energy. Perhaps you will let me know? barbara@barbaralewis.com

That's it from me until next time. Remember there is nothing like singing to lift your spirits - once you get started! 

My best to you,

Barbara
