You’re doing a lot of live streaming, speaking, singing and your audience loves you. But your vocals could be better…a LOT better. Today, here’s tips to keep your vocal chops up.
Learn to keep your voice strong, even when you’re at home.
1. Dedicate yourself to music every day.

It’s easy to get too comfortable – especially when there’s no live shows or gigs to give you that little push.
4. Inspire yourself to create
Find new artists and singers with a new sound!
Dig into their material and find something you’d like to try and sing yourself. Listen to their technique, what do you like about the way they’re singing? How can you spin their sound in your own way?
Research can be a great source of inspiration and will widen your views on the singer you want to be!
5. Practice self care for the ultimate music experience
As a singer, our body and mind is our instrument – it needs just as much love as any other instrument would!
Hydrate, take your vitamins and do the little things that makes you happy in the moment. Yoga or meditation is a great start to help set your mind at ease. Give yourself daily affirmations and manifest your success.
