Hello Friends and Singers,

I hope you are feeling upbeat and in good health!

Some singers think that their voice lacks colour. I hear this quite often. And there are many ways to work on this issue. Finding a better balance between head and chest voice is one of them. Working on your vibrato is another... Perhaps you feel that you have too little vibrato? In that case, this week's video is for you!

In this short video, I talk about one particular aspect of vibrato that is not often mentioned. Watch this video for some unique insight into encouraging sweetness and a more pleasing vibrato to your voice.

 

Fellow Women! Here's a new book about how our changing hormones (menopause) affect our voices. Singing Through Change. 
I have not read it yet, myself. But I intend to buy it... In case the subject interests you, here is one review:

"Written in an accessible style, the book provides case studies which enable a better understanding of adult female voice change and its effects physically, vocally, emotionally, psychologically and socially. This book will be an invaluable resource to singers, voice teachers, choral directors and any woman who loves to sing!” -- Lynne Gackle, Ph.D.

 

If you feel it's time for an injection of new ideas, be in touch! I offer online lessons called "vocal boosts" using Zoom. One or two 30-minute lessons (@ $25) - could revive your outlook on your precious singing!  Send me a message: barbaramusic.2011@gmail.com.

 Here is a short article that describes my vocal coaching style.
