Unlock True Vocal Freedom: Say Goodbye to Tension and Love Your Voice!
Share
I want you to consider how the mind affects vocal freedom when singing. Personally, I’ve struggled with vocal strain, lifting my head when reaching for high notes, or raising my larynx when I anticipate a challenging part. I’m realizing how much the mind influences vocal freedom. While technique is crucial, the mind plays a vital role in mastering it.
As beginner singers, we often try to control notes, breath, or pitch by tensing up, lifting our heads, or adding tension in our tongues or throats. However, vocal freedom is about letting go. It’s about telling your mind, “I’m going to trust the technique I’ve learned, allowing air and pitch to flow naturally.” This requires relaxing both mind and body while singing and trusting your technique, so when you reach those challenging parts of a song, your mind doesn’t panic and try to “control” the note. Instead, you stay relaxed, allowing the note to lift naturally through an open throat, a relaxed tongue, a slightly lowered larynx, and with good posture: lifted chest, relaxed shoulders, and a level chin. All of these elements create the vocal freedom you’re seeking.
Therefore, let’s focus on achieving that vocal freedom by training the mind to let go, relax, and avoid unnecessary muscle involvement.
To better track your progress, try these steps:
1. Record yourself weekly.
2. Create a daily routine.
3. Keep a journal to note improvements, areas that still need work, and other observations.
