The Number One Secret - How to Sing Smoothly For Men and Women
The number one secret to singing smoothly is described perfectly by the character Bagger
Vance played by Will Smith in the movie “The Legend of Bagger Vance”.
Matt Damon plays a local Atlanta, Georgia golf sensation who’s no longer able to play
the game because he’s suffering tramatic PTSD from the effects of his fighting in WWI.
He’s trying to make a comeback and is failing miserably in front of his adoring fans.
Bagger Vance gives this amazing advice to this broken and suffering man.
I will replace a few words with the word “Voice”.
“Yep...

natural voice choose us.

1.
Start by doing exercises for your vocal type.
Your vocal type is not whether you’re soprano, alto, tenor or bass.
Your vocal type describes what your voice tends to do as you sing higher.
For example, do you tend to strain, or break or go into falsetto, go breathy, or maybe
mix?
