Hello fellow singers!
I am so happy you have found my blog and that you are interested in improving your skill set or learning how to sing from scratch. This blog will contain LOADS of information I have taken years to accumulate. I will be posting vocal exercises, everyday warmups, instruction, information on voice types, and tricks of the trade for high notes. Feel free to hit me up with requests and comments! I want to know what was helpful, confusing, missing, or too much. Before we get started, let me tell you a bit about myself.
I have been a performer since I was a young child. My career started in musical theatre and graduated into acting in commercials and independent films. I decided to concentrate on music alone about 8 years ago, and since then I have been a full time professional performer, teacher, and student. I recently received my BA in music from San Diego State University, and I am currently working towards my Level 1 Speech Level Singing certification. I have studied with many amazing teachers, the most recent being Kathy Kennedy (Level 5 SLS) and Guy Babusek (Level 5 SLS.)
Most importantly, I absolutely LOVE teaching voice. It has become a passion that even overshadows my love for performing. I am excited to have a new venue for sharing my knowledge and helping my fellow singers, so don't be shy! I want to know what you like, hate, need, and dream about when it comes to your voice. If you can't afford singing lessons, stay tuned and I will give you as much information for free as I can! If you are just learning how to sing, this is a great place to begin.
Coming VERY soon:
The four voice type TENDENCIES: find out which one you are and how to fix it!
Keep Singing,
Melody

Hi Mel,can u share here an email where i can send the question?:D
ReplyDeleteAnyway i wanted to ask u i breath with my diaphragm but when i sing a song its a bit difficult to keep the air for longer and i breath that much that it kinda hurts or O.o what should i do ? uwu
Thank you for ur help!<3
Hi! The technique I teach doesn't put a lot of emphasis on breathing because we have found that too much concentration on breath leads to pushing, straining, and pain. =) I can show you some simple breathing exercises that will help to increase your capacity to hold out notes, however, if you continue to study the technique I teach you will see that breathing is as easy as speaking. My first advice to you is to relax! Stop thinking so much about your breath. I know this flies in the face of what many teachers say but it is the simple truth. I have a really busy week and I haven't been able to post yet, but keep your eye out and I will post a healthy breathing exercise just for you!
