Make the
BRAIN Do the Work
......and the voice will follow, that is, if
you allow it. Many singers wonder how to sing fast runs that have
lots of notes in them. Students ask me, “how do I make my voice
DO that?” I say don’t make your voice do anything. Singing
very fast runs of lots of notes is much easier when you don’t try to
force individual notes, or worry about getting every note exactly
correct in the beginning. I found it much easier in the beginning
to just hear it and go for it. HEARING it is the important
part! What your brain hears, it can repeat. Not hearing it
accurately will absolutely prevent you from singing it correctly.
So to sing lots of fast notes, put your attention on listening to the
notes, rather than on how you sing them. Mastery of this skill
takes practice, but the practice is easier, and way more fun, if you
put the attention on letting the brain hear the notes accurately,
rather than trying really hard to sing it accurately. Your brain
really will take care of your voice, but you’ve got to learn to trust
it. Hear it and go for it! Be willing to do it
wrong! Why not? You can always do it again.
