He-Yo!
Well! What a busy semester this is going to be!! I thought I'd write about what I'm learning in my prophetic singing class. I am fortunate to have had some voice training before coming here, so things like technique aren't totally new to me. Today in class we talked a lot about vocal health. Here is what I've learned:
1. Tiredness first shows up in your voice, so get sufficient sleep. (For me, this will be on weekends. perhaps) You want to be able to give strength to the worship team.
2. Hydration! You want to drink half of your body weight in oz a day. If you drink coffee/tea that is diuretic you need to take 2x as much water.
3. Eat a balanced diet. "Don't eat out of a box". Put God-made food into a God-made body for the result as God-intended. For study times when I'm craving, eat fruit first, then if I absolutely have to, go the sugar route. When you are craving cheese, that usually means your body is craving Omega-3's. (eh... we'll see how this pans out...)
4. Don't scream, sing. Don't clear throat. Philosophy for singing [only], "If it feels good- DO IT!" and if it doesn't feel good, don't do that.
A lot of this I actually learned from my voice teacher. I felt so informed!! Many thanks to her!!!
Hope this is fun for you who are wanting to learn what I'm learning in this class!
Blessings, Blessings, Blessings!

Hey!
ReplyDeleteI know this is really random, and you don't know me, but I've actually applied to IHOPU (FMA) and I'd simply like to thank you SO much for blogging about what's going on over there! (I can't seem to find enough info. concerning all the practical stuff.)
Anyway, bless you!
Blessings,
