Hello Friends and Fellow Singers,

As always, I'd like to say welcome and thank you to all my new subscribers! Great to have you on this journey with the rest of us!

This week's video is about hearing and singing. As we get older, many, if not most of us, lose some of our precious hearing. Much of the damage comes from years of hearing loud sounds that take a toll on the inner ear. But some people sustain damage in other ways. I believe the hearing issue is so important that I'm doing two-parts on the subject. This week the video offers an exercise to help "tune up" your hearing. Are you really hearing those intervals? Are you really singing "In tune?"

Next week, I will talk with a friend who has lost a lot of her hearing, yet she is still able to sing well. Watch for that! And take a look at this week's simple, yet powerful exercise to tune up your ear!

Last week, I talked about ways to calm your voice, including a secret way to control your vibrato. These days, we are in dire need of ways to remain calm and steady. I hope this video gives you a little bit of help.

If you find that Stage Fright is a problem for you, look here:

My stage fright guide has taught many singers proven ways to overcome this kind of fear. I learned these things while performing and teaching singing for over 35 years. (Here's my (free) video that outlines some of these ideas.)
