We all know that the way to get to Carnegie Hall is to practice, but often practice doesn't seem to be enough...

When the body is property aligned, the muscles  that are used to produce vocal sounds will function properly. When any part of the posture is out of alignment this can create stress which can instantly affect vocal production

The first thing you have to do before you can produce a sound is .... Breathe!  Many people have heard of the term "breath control"  but  considerably less understand how to fully employ the process to produce strong vocal sounds

The vibration of the vocal cords is a small but vital part of the vocal production process. Builing strength in this area is vital to good vocal production. Weakness or looseness can result in breathiness,  inflamation or obstruction can result in hoarseness. A strong core is necessary for good phonation.

So often i hear  " I don't like the sound of my voice".  First of all, we do not hear ourselves the way others hear us. However, if  it is a recording of our voice we don't like, then ther may be resonation issues.  Or regular everyday speech patterns are often not very conducive to good resonation. Often tension and habits  of our entire body can keep us from making the sounds we like to hear.
