Practice with Intention for Singers

MASTER YOUR VOICE ✌️

Practicing with intention is essential for any singer who wants to reach their full potential, but it can be challenging to know where to start.

Here are some tips for how you can practice with intention for singing

Start With A Goal

Before you even begin your practice session, set a goal that you want to accomplish. Make sure the goal is specific and has achievable steps so that each time you reach the end of your practice session, you have something tangible to show for it. Consider writing down your goals and keeping them nearby while practicing as a reminder of what you’re working towards.

Prioritise Practicing Fundamentals

While it can be tempting to jump right into new songs, prioritizing fundamentals will pay off in the long run. Fundamentals like breath control, pitch accuracy and vocal range can help ensure that more advanced singing techniques will be successful when executed correctly. Spend time ensuring that these fundamentals are solid before attempting more complex pieces and exercises.

Incorporate Visualization Techniques

Visualization is an incredibly powerful tool in any endeavor, let alone singing! Visualizing yourself executing a perfect performance or mastering difficult passages can go great lengths in helping achieve that level of mastery when performance day arrives. Try closing your eyes during practice sessions and seeing yourself executing each step perfectly before actually attempting it with sound.

Take Breaks

Everyone needs rest from time-to-time-even singers! Taking breaks throughout your practice sessions helps prevent fatigue from taking hold. It also gives your voice a much needed rest and ensures that when you come back to practicing again, you'll have energy and focus for the task at hand.

Record Yourself

Record yourself as often as possible during practice sessions so that you can listen back later on and determine what areas need more attention or improvement. Recording yourself provides valuable insight on areas that need work, as well as showcasing improvements made over time–a must if you're trying to track your progress!

Rely On Your Support Network

Don't forget the importance of having a supportive network while practicing with intention—friends, family members, teachers or mentors who understand the process of growth and are willing to give helpful advice along the way make a huge difference when crafting our voices into something extraordinary!

Actionable Steps for 2021

My Top 3 action steps to become more aligned in 2021 with your singing goals

1: Be Habit Oriented: 

Not WHAT but HOW

I recommend setting aside some time aside to reflect and write down how you will achieve your singing goals in 2021

Some Questions you can ask yourself are:

• How can I achieve my singing goals?

• How can I develop good singing habits?

• How Do I overcome fear and gain confidence in my singing?

• How will I level up as a singer songwriter in 2021?

2: Dont set the bar too high!  

Be real with yourself!

Dont put too much energy into things you cant control or that are unrealistic! 

Aim high and rise up to the challenge, but don't set unrealistic goals that you know you wont actually achieve.

3: Work on your mindset

This is so important for singers.

Not only is working your voice out so vital, but so is what you tell yourself on a daily basis, which is just as important.
