FIRST LESSON IN OVER 2 YEARS!!!!!! 👀👀👀

Why was I literally sweating before taking this lesson?! It’s not that serious, Laurel!!!!

Had a fun time exploring different parts of my voice with - I tried to intentionally choose clips that were rough and raw because even voice teachers need voice teachers! And that’s the hill I’m dying on today! Excited to get back into lessons and continue my journey of singing in my 30s! 🫶🏼

Speed talking you through a little part of a song that one of my students has been working on! (1:57 where you hear me sing it!)

This is how I approach it with my voice and with what I’M able to do! If this helps you, GREAT! If it doesn’t that’s ok too!

Anytime we play with the idea of “release” and singing with a “thinner belt” it’s really just playing with tensions and pressures and seeing what feels right for you! If it’s hard to control your volume on a specific note…take it down a few half steps and then work your way up.

If you want more videos of me working through specific lines of songs…comment below what song you want to hear next!

SCENT & LIGHT COACHING = 🫶🏼 | Let me know if you can hear a change in her sound!!!

Ok this was a perfect example of how scent can be used in your toolbox but just because you use one tool doesn’t mean that it can do EVERYTHING for you!

With scent AND light reminders to increase a thinner closure - was able to find this beautiful and free sound without having to press!

IT’S OK IF SOMETHING ISN’T WORKING IMMEDIATELY! Teachers! Use that intuition and your understanding of the student and just patiently work and explore! That’s the fun of it!

EEEEK! Had to share and I’s lesson today when we used the smell experiment to work on her upcoming performance!

If you want to know what we’re doing here, go look for my most recent reel! It’s about the brain and the voice and my dear friend and colleague (and my first voice teacher ever 🥲) really does a beautiful job in explaining how to do it!

I LOVE my job 🥲 - And I love it even more when my student can feel and hear a difference and can be encouraged and invigorated to go home and keep practicing!

SCIENTIFIC VOCAL EXPERIMENT ALERT 🚨 WATCH TIL THE END! IT’S WORTH IT!

Singing is SO cool you guys! Today I experimented with using the “olfactory” sense to engage my brain in a new way to help with vocal fold coordination and efficiency!

Some fellow voice nerds like & make learning fun and exciting! They both inspired me to do this & to now use it in my vocal “toolbox!”

Tell me if you were able to hear or see the difference when I sang the clips at the end!!!
