Three Questions to Help You Prepare for Any Presentation 30:09

לפני 8 ימים30:09

30:09

How do you manage stage fright? Do you have calming rituals, or ways to pump yourself up? Do you try to ignore it and power through, or are you channeling the energy of that anxiety into your performance? Maybe more importantly, when are you managing your performance anxiety? Do you plan for it in advance? Or is it something you only face when you can feel the racing heart and sweaty palms? In my years of teaching and performing, I’ve discovered that the most common sources of fear of performing are about relationships. Between you and your body, you and your environment, and you and the material you’re working to present. I’ve developed three questions you can ask. They’ll help you figure out where your fear is coming from, and how you can build the sense of safety you need to deliver an effective and compelling performance.

Managing The Anxiety That Comes With Growth 28:19

לפני 22 ימים28:19

28:19

Change is scary. Even when it’s change you’ve chosen, embraced, achieved through hard work and dedication. Changing something as personal and intimate as your voice can raise fears of rejection, abandonment, disappointment, and the worry that you won’t like the sound you’ve worked hard to develop. In my experience, the best way to manage that anxiety is to give ourselves something more specific to work toward. Instead of simply setting out to grow your voice, let’s think about what kind of voice you want to grow into. This time, let’s talk about why changing your voice is particularly anxiety-inducing. Then we’ll break out the thesaurus to help you start describing voices you admire, and the qualities you’d like your voice to bring to the world.

Different genres of music make different demands on the voice.

I Love Music, But I’m Not Musically Inclined 22:51

The title of this episode, dear listener, is an actual sentence an adult man said to me recently. We were talking about what was preventing him from performing music, despite the passion he has for listening to it. Like a lot of people, he had internalized the belief that he was missing something, some innate talent or capacity that enables other people to make the music he loves. With love, he is 100% wrong, and if you believe something similar about yourself, well, you’re wrong too! This time, I want to talk about why the process of learning music can feel so intimidating, and how much your life can change if you give yourself permission to start.

When life is a difficult place to be and the world feels fraught, it can feel like nothing is ever going to get better. We all manage that discouragement in our own way, but we have to work at it. Because giving up is the surest way to lose all the progress we’ve made. This time, I want to tell you a personal story to illustrate that we have, in fact, made real progress. It reminds me to be thankful, and to look forward to more and better. Then, I’ll tell you how music can help you regulate the feelings in your body, and open up lines of communication with people whose life experiences might otherwise be difficult to understand. I hope it helps you feel some hope, and gives you a tool or two you can use to keep moving forward. Michèle Voillequé is a singer and a voice teacher living in Berkeley, California.

Your whole body is your instrument, and that doesn’t just mean when you’re performing. The memories you carry in your body are powerful tools you can tap into when you’re learning and practicing and growing your voice. When I’m singing long phrases, I lean on a vivid image from my childhood, of a massive truck sharing the narrow mountain highway with my family's tiny car. That memory helps me access the power I need for long, connected phrases. I’m certain you have a similar experience you can draw on to help your body feel the power it carries within.

Change is scary! Developing the voice you want to project requires time and effort, but it also requires faith – confidence that you have the capacity for growth, and certainty that the work you’re putting in is moving you in the direction you want to go. But holding tight to that belief in yourself can be really hard. What to do on those days when you’re just sure you’ve come as far as you can, and you don’t know if you’ll ever have the guts to get going again? I’ve been there, and so have my students.

When you’re looking at a piece of vocal music, what’s the most intimidating thing you can imagine? For a lot of my students, a single note that gets held for 4, 8, or 12 beats is right at the top of the list. But why is that? What is it about a long note that makes us feel vulnerable or unsure of our vocal abilities in a way that shorter notes don’t?
