Tip of the Month


July 2025


When you give away all of your air, you will have more left!


This sounds totally counter-intuitive, doesn't it? However, the concept is that when you are "giving away" your air, you are no longer putting any constraints on the air flow; i.e. no throat squeezing! The result is that your airflow becomes more efficient without that interference, without that stoppage, and, therefore, you will have more left to use.


Much of singing is counter-intuitive, so try to trust your body, and let your air flow freely!
