Does Style Matter When We're Warming Up?

If your warmup practice is dialed in for your body and its unique sound, your warmup can prepare you to sing just about anything. In this episode, I explainWhy the intuition about different musical styles needing different warmups isn’t right.How to build a warmup routine that works with your body, and also adapts to your changing needs and desires.The importance of checking in with your physical and musical needs every time you practice or perform.Here is the blog post (featuring video) of me warming up after not singing for an entire month. https://www.mvmusik.com/warming-up-after-a-month-of-not-singing/ If you'd like to join the waitlist for my group class, The Self-Sustaining Singer, email me at letters@mvmusik.com with GROUP in the subject line.

Pretty is a Matter of Opinion

The “pretty” singing you've been praised for might not be the only kind of singing you're capable of. It might not even be the best singing you're capable of. In this episode, I explainWhat’s appealing about the breathy sound of pop recordings, and why we want to emulate it.Why that sound isn’t sustainable long term (and what it’s doing to your body).Why you shouldn’t be intimidated when you make a new sound that your ears find odd, but feels really good in your body.How focusing on functionality can unlock the real potential of your unique voice.If you'd like to join the waitlist for my group class, The Self-Sustaining Singer, email me at letters@mvmusik.com with GROUP in the subject line.

The Cure For Pitchiness (Is Not An App)

A bedrock goal of singing is to make sure all the right notes are coming out of your mouth. But apps that claim to tell you whether you’re “in tune” can actually do more harm than good.In this episode, I explainWhat a voice-tuning app is actually measuring (spoiler alert: it’s not really your voice).How trying to match pitch with an app can introduce counter-productive tension into your body.The kind of help that can help you to hit more right notes, and to let go of the shame of missing some.How my new group class will help you develop a warm-up routine to get your unique, whole-body instrument in tune.If you'd like to join the waitlist for my group class, email me at letters@mvmusik.com with GROUP in the subject line.
