Once your body is prepared for singing, it’s time to think about the choices we can make while singing. For me, this boils down to a few points of focus:

Claim your space, check in, take a breath
Learn to take a full breath
Learn how to control your exhale
Learn when to breathe – where to take a breath
Learn how to find and release tension
1. Is it in my jaw, neck, shoulders, chest, tongue…?
