Who knew there was so much to singing?
My daughters were in the high school chorus and I used to hear them practicing...always doing the vocal warm ups.... I thought it sounded strange but now I know what it does and how important it is to not only warm up but to use good practices and techniques to get the most from the voice we are born with.
Back in the "live gigging" days, we simply walked on stage and started the 4 hr show without too much thought to the mechanics of it. There were a few of us who could sing...some better than others, and the rest we kept away from the mics as much as possible.
Now that I'm into studio recording, singing has taken on a totally different aspect. Quality is more important now than it was back in the club circuit. So I have tried to learn a few things and apply them.
