My Knowledge of singing so far

So far in our singing lessons I have learnt many new things about singing and what is important and key to improve your voice, One of the most important things to do before you start singing is to warm up. Warm ups allow your voice to prepare for singing, especially if it's for a long period of time.

When we then came to singing the songs from six in lesson I felt that the warm ups we did before hand definitely benefitted my voice and made me feel more prepared to sing.

Another aspect of singing we've had to do during our six singing rehearsals has been learning the lyrics for the songs, this is especially important when it comes to combining singing and dancing together and having to remember two things at once.

Even with my previous knowledge of six and having listened to the songs beforehand, I still found it difficult to remember to sing at times when also remembering the choreography as well, so this is something I'm going to work on more.

One aspect of singing that I have found difficult is breath control which is an area that I have always struggled with when it comes to singing especially on my own, so throughout this course it is one thing I definitely want to focus on and hopefully improve so I can better my singing.

Before I started this course I did have previous experience and knowledge with singing, as I have been in shows and previously took singing lessons for a period of time.

Being in shows has especially taught me the importance of looking after your voice as singing for a long period of time everyday or even twice a day in productions can take a toll on your vocals, so making sure to drink and eat the right things is important.
