hey chris liepe here with how to sing better instantly any singer can use what is in this
lesson guy girl young old any voice type doesn't matter and this is not an exercise
this is not sing this scale or make this particular sound and instantly you'll sing
better but if you make this change you will sing better instantly and and it really does work
this is a mind lesson not a voice lesson but in using your mind in a different way you will
instantly improve your voice if you'd like more help with the ins and outs of vocal technique
support breath control all of those things click the link below and join my free course
and i'll help work through those things with you but if you don't understand what i'm going to tell
you in this lesson and make this mindset shift none of that is going to work no amount of voice
lessons no amount of practicing or performing is going to do any bit of good so here it is
oh i'll give you
when we're singing or creating art of any kind playing an instrument or painting something
we have this tendency as human beings to look for affirmation from those that we're presenting
our art to now i hope this is good enough i hope that you know what i'm singing or what i'm exuding
will be accepted the problem with this and it's totally normal and we all do it but the problem
with this particularly with our voice is that we are no longer in the mindset of give we are in the
mindset of take we are wanting something in the process of creating something with our voice so
by the very definition creating is you know we're making something if
you are trying to take if you're trying to get or take approval from some entity
you can't possibly create in the fullest mindset and i've covered this in a way
on a video what freddie mercury does some of you may have seen
but i'm i'm introducing a different angle here in that we need to think about when we're singing
we are giving it all away we are in the posture to give to our audience to give to our listeners
the performance every note is something we're giving away and when you're giving something away
you don't ask for anything in return that would be selling something or bartering for
something we are simply giving you might think i'm oversimplifying or that this video is now
click bait but i guarantee you this is one aspect that is going to improve your voice instantly you
no longer need approval for anything you're doing you're merely creating but we have one more facet
of this that we really need to hone in on and that is we need to follow wholeheartedly an inspiration
this is a way to distract us from some of the things that we tend to think about too much
when we're really engaged in a performance the last thing we want to be thinking about
is oh sing through my mask and have right posture and and use my diaphragm we don't want to be
thinking about that stuff we want to be engaged in an inspiration we need to have an object
for our giving and this is often hard to do with an audience that isn't there if we're in
a recording studio it's also hard to do if you're live so if you're singing to an audience who you
can't see very well or you you may or may not be completely engaged with that's one thing but what
if everything that you sing is a tribute to a musical inspiration i'm going to do this line
or this song in a way that's going to say thank you to an inspiration that i have
when i've done some of my chris cornell covers that's probably the easiest way to do it
i'm not saying i'm going to do this in a way that will be as good as chris cornell i'm going to try
to do that and i hope everybody likes it no it's actually quite the opposite it's more
i'm going to do this in a way that says thank you chris cornell for what you've taught me
accept this gift i know he's not here in the room and he's not here anymore
but this mindset of i am actually giving my voice or my performance i'm i'm doing it in tribute
to someone else to another object and this even works believe it or not
with things that have nothing to do with music i am going to create a gift for
someone i love in this vocal performance and you hold them in your mind as you're singing
believe me what this does is it frees you up to follow that inspiration to follow that person that
you love to follow that in an inanimate object that brings you joy it it gives you permission
to go into that space that combined with what we talked about earlier creates a manageable
and intentional distraction so that you are fully and wholly engaged in the performance
you're letting it all out you're giving and you're giving to an inspiration this mindset
clears the distractions away keeps you from focusing too much on your diaphragm or uh how
you said that last vowel and the things that you end up practicing when you're not in this mindset
become accessories to you accomplishing your goal of creativity and engagement in other words
you don't have to think about them but your muscle memory is helping you use them because you're in
the right state so practice is important rehearsal is important going over the foundations of great
singing is important but when you're really delivering a performance that's not where your
head space is supposed to be at understanding this balance and when to go in and out of this
is going to make you a better singer instantly listening to the performance that i did i shared
with you at the very beginning of this lesson this i'm going to play it without the music here you're
going to hear the sense of abandon and giving it my all and even though i'm actually singing those
words you're gonna hear this in in a special way i'll give to you my all i'll give to you my all
alpha give to you my all i'll give to my
harnessing inspiration creating a gift with what you're doing creatively this
is the ticket take this run with it see what you can do with it we'll see it for more
