My Top 5 Tips for Singers

A new student recently asked me if there was a CliffsNotes version of the concepts I teach, and I realized that would make a really good podcast episode! This time, I’m sharing my top five “bumper stickers,” advice I’ve shared with just about every student I’ve ever had. (These slogans are for my singers, but don’t worry, speakers, we’ll be back with more for you shortly.) We’ll cover how your body makes sound in the first place, and ways to make sure various parts of your body are contributing to that process. Look below for resources that go into more detail on particular tips, and you can always email letters@mvmusik.com if there’s something you’d like me to address in a future episode!

Michèle Voillequé is a singer and a voice teacher living in Berkeley, California.
