Learn To Sing With Your 5 Year Old Brain!
Time To Be A Kid Again 🙂
Child Like Mind!
You Need To Think Like A Five Year Old Thinks. I Know That Might Sound Crazy But Let Me Explain. Kids Don’t Think Or Judge They Just Do. They Watch And Observe And Listen Then Excitedly Mimic The Action To Try And Do The Same And Usually On Their First Go Or Few Goes They Latch On To The Idea. Then They Play With It Some More Until The Party Trick Is Complete. They Do It As A Fun Challenge They Don’t Start Out In Their Mind Thinking They Are Defeated. They Go In Wanting To Win And Succeed So They Do Or Don’t Stop Trying Till They Get It. Simple As That! So Moral Of The Story Is Think With Your 5 Year Old Brain Please!!!!
Judgment.
Adults Step Into Singing With Fear First, Judgment 2nd. This Is Definitely The Wrong Attitude For Success. When Learning Something New You Take It In. Process It. Maybe A Few Times Even. Play With It. Then Fine Tune. If You Judge It, It Wont Come. All Negativity Will Lead You Down The Road Of Failure Or Making The Goal Further Away. When I Was A Kid Singing I Would Mimic My Singing Teacher And Enjoy My Lessons And Practise And Was Growing Fast With My Voice. As I Got Into My Teens I Saw A Change As I Started Judging Every Time I Failed At My Singing Which Brought On Doubt And Made Singing Harder For Me As I Was Now Singing To Be Perfect And To Not Fail When I Sang In Front Of People. So I Wasn’t Singing For Me Anymore And When I Sang I Had To Sing With A Bag Fool Of Fear Attached To It. Not Fun Let Me Tell You. Many Tears. I Know This Because I Have That Perfectionism Attitude And Would Let Failure Concur Me Weekly. Until I Learnt The Lesson. Until I Learnt To Sing For Me And Relax And Play With The Techniques Without Pressure And I Started To See Big Changes Happening Before My Very Eyes Again In My Practise And My Performances Like I Did When I Was A Kid. Please Take My Advice And Mimic And Play As That Is The Key To Finding Your Voice Quicker.
No Fear Necessary!
Fear Stops Growth Period! The Way To Stop Fear And Doubt Is To Know You Aren’t Seeking Perfection To Begin With. You Are Finding Your Sound And Playing In The Colours Until Your Muscles Get Used To The Techniques. Then You Refine Until You Find The Sounds And Colours That Sit Right With You. Don’t Be Like Me And Take Ages To Allow Yourself To Find Your Edges And Extremes Of Your Sounds And Range Of Voice. I Didn’t Understand I Had To Go To The Extreme Sounds That Were Way Out Of My Comfort Zone To Start With And Scared Me At First And Sounds I Didn’t Like Hearing At First Because They Were New And Where Not What I Was Used To Hearing Out Of Me. You Are Finding What New Voices And Sounds You Have Inside And You Need To Be Open To That. So Then, You Can Start Colouring Inside The Lines With Much More Ease And Precision. Singing Is A Layering Exerprience. You Have to Colour Outside The Lines And Go To Your Voice Extremes Even If You Don’t Like That Colour So You Know Where To Sit And Slide Up And Down The Sound Spectrum Depending On Type Of Contemporary Song You Are Playing With. 🙂
