Your best voice comes from a relaxed body! ☺️ Too often we carry tension in our neck, throat, shoulders, & upper back, which results in a tense & restricted voice. 😬Living in stressful times, auditioning, sitting in front of the computer and in the booth for long periods of time can easily cause tense muscles. Remember.. muscles remember!
Here are 5 easy things you can do to relax & get the best voice out of your body.
✅ Drop your jaw. Your neck & shoulders immediately release & relax. Dropping your jaw helps you realign the neck and body. It’s so easy.
✅ Close your eyes 👀, take a deep breath in through your nose & out through the mouth. Deep breathing is very calming because it oxygenates your blood stream even for just 2 or 3 minutes. You’ll feel calm but energized.
✅ Take time to do something relaxing that you really enjoy - a bubble bath 🛁, walk on the beach 🏖, or chilling in the hammock.
✅ Be intentional about relaxing, especially before auditioning. 2 or 3 minutes can make a big difference in the way you sound & the control you gain over your voice.
✅ Use your hands to massage your neck & shoulders. It may not be as good as a massage therapist, but can offer a little relief from tight muscles.
It’s not difficult for me to relax, I just have to remember to do it, especially when I’m auditioning. Let’s calm ourselves & do something we truly enjoy. ♥️ Your voice will not operate at peak performance 🏔unless your body - especially your neck, throat, shoulders, and upper back are relaxed. It doesn’t have to take a long time. Small things have been known to provide the greatest impact, so don’t discount just breathing.
