Aspects of Good Singing

Important aspects of good singing covered in my studio:

  • love for one's own voice
  • love for the repertoire (songs)
  • controlled relaxation - good posture (eg. knowing how to relax the jaw, arms, neck, shoulders etc).
  • awareness of support and breath intake
  • vowel formation and consonant articulation
  • the correct onset of sound
  • range extension and resonance
  • sound knowledge of singing in all the major languages
  • stagecraft (how to perform and interpret songs)
