Use the
Force, Luke
But where is the force? And I thought we weren’t supposed to
force anything while singing, anyway. True, we don’t force
anything, but there is a HUGE singing advantage in understanding “the
Force” in Luke Skywalker terms. Your “life-force” or “vital
energy” is the most important energy source you can use to sing.
The air makes and supports the sound, but your energy is what really
fuels your singing. If you learn to tap into it, your free
yourself from work and struggle while singing. Run in place as
fast and as hard as you can for ten to fifteen seconds. Where did
you feel that body energy come from? Even though it flowed to
your legs to power the running, most of that body energy came from your
torso. The majority of your body energy is sourced from your
torso and sent to the areas that you need it. When you are
singing, you need a LOT of it. When you ran in place, you
harnessed your energy and sent it where you needed it. Now, sing
something and tap into that same energy. Let yourself feel where
to get that energy and where to send it. You may have to play
with this idea to really feel it “click” in your body and your voice,
but it’s really worth the effort. Now, instead of ‘forcing” your
singing, you can use “the force” for effortless singing!
