How to Become a Great Singer when Auditory Learning is Not Your Style

(How to Become the Best Backup Singer Ever) My name is Kristin, and I am addicted to harmony. As a singer, I intend for this statement to be interpreted musically. But as I find daily, as I go in Music, so I go in Life. So, let’s start, as is my wont, with a story on a seemingly unrelated topic… I have a student who works with a Myers-Briggs life coach. This ideology reaches far beyond the personality assessment that you took at work, or that adorable quiz that pops up on

by Justin Leighton Long Even before the coronavirus changed live music, live streaming and video performances on sites like YouTube were already incredibly popular. Now that live concerts are going to be fewer and crowds smaller, being able to perform online is now practically essential for musicians. Audio Quality Let’s start by talking about audio quality.

On any given morning, I may be in my yoga class at the Y, awkwardly arranging myself into some nice, juicy, seated asana in celebration of having arduously completed my standing poses. With a sense of relief, I close my eyes to settle in. Without fail, my wonderfully aware teacher immediately hollers out, “Eyes open! This is a householder’s practice!” I sigh, open my eyes, and pay attention. He is referring to the concept of the “Householder” in Buddhism, the term that distin

It’s a weird relationship One might even say hate love But the only hate comes from me And all the lies I see I have kept inside Yet, I am still shy But you have freed me To let others see me The comfort in the depressing melodies You have freed me It freaks me the fuck out I finally cried out Instead of leaving it in That is where it all begins I finally cried out Then freedom came about It felt not wrong, but oh so right Like all I wanted was to write and wr

This is a bad year for the flu - and I'm sure that's not news to you. As a vocalist, you need to be extra careful with preventive care - you can't cancel a gig just because you're sick. I've had to perform long gigs while sick more times than I wish. It's not fun, and you risk losing your voice because of it. (I have injured my voice because of singing a 4-hour pop/rock gig while sick. It took about 9 months for my voice to heal.) But when you have a gig commitment, you h
