Hope that got your attention!

Great things are often developed, achieved, realized in threes.

As you develop your technical behavior, how you approach your work, the business of you, the you in the business, the innate talent, spirit & being of YOU has permission to become present, remain present, and be seen as you choose to be seen.

It’s a perfect storm that needs alignment and preparation and consistency.

What are you exploring in the physical manifestation of your technical behavior? Do you simply do a “lather, rinse, repeat” without thinking about it hoping it’s good enough?

A little secret? It’s not.

If your development isn’t serving YOU the artist, the repertoire, the genre, the composer, and on and on - then it’s not.

So, what are you exploring, developing, honing? What are you sculpting and shaping, and strengthening?

The physicality of your instrument is crucial. This is where it is housed. Without the body, the voice has no where to live. Creating the tangible presence of physicality allows the intangibles to become realized.

How are you outlining it? How do you define your work? How does it function and follow through?

Language changes, and accessibility is individual to you, the singer, and with you and your teacher. Develop that; understand that; make it yours.

Here are some of the ways we access the physicality of function and the function of physicality in the studio and how I build individualized focus for each singer who stands in front of me. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it might be something you can revisit for your own work.

Technical balance, development and detail is not linear. It is a constant ebb and flow. Each body is different, and must be treated that way. The specifics need to be addressed in the studio one on one.

Exploring some of these more specifically may allow you access into the authenticity of your physicality to help shape the voice that resides there!

Alignment

Range of Motion

Breath Energy

Mobility

Anchoring

Engagement

Resistance

Elasticity

Balance

Momentum

Flexibility

Endurance

Sustainability

All of these terms can be discovered in the physicality of body, breath and vibration. They function together and because of; Discovering & re-discovering, building, honing, sculpting.

The mindset to continue to hone in and explore and find greater and greater finesse is what begins to reveal what is possible, achievable and attainable.

When done with intention and actually knowing WHY you are doing the exercise/exploring the tool, we can achieve more specificity and more behavioral responses that have lasting results. And guess what? It doesn’t have to take a million hours a day! Nobody has that kind of time! You don’t run a marathon to learn how to run a marathon!! You PREPARE for the marathon.

And what’s the unicorn glitter?

That, my dear reader, is the essence of YOU. That is the magic and individuality and authenticity of YOU in that vibration you are claiming and revealing through your physicality. That is the magic that is non-apologetic, authentic, still, and cannot be replicated, “typed”, “fach-ed”, or put into a box.

Even in threes, one can truly not be revealed the others. One does not necessarily happen “first”; all must be acknowledged and allowed to figure eight and release and loop and distinguish in order to reveal.

Start claiming that which you do not yet own. Start revealing is needed. Start asking questions and letting the answers reveal more questions.

Seek it out.

Build upon it.

Move in!
