    I was happy the first time another vocalist on my church team said “do you know you’re going flat on that bridge?” while rehearsing for a song I was leading. It felt like I had reached a level of skill to where they now respected me enough to point that out. If they thought it worthwhile to say it, that meant they believed I could fix it.

    I sing the same notes for every song. But when i do vocal warm ups my coach tells me im on key. But my recordings are off key.
  • This is super helpful, Marjorie. Very clear and insightful teaching! Some practical exercises that I can do...even if I'm not singing in a praise band anymore, I still want to sing in tune. Blessings!
  • I've too many probs. After cancer treatment x 3 & severe Dyslexia, auditory & and short-term memory. constant nasal drip, drugs caused asthma now dry mouth & tmj. I love to sing but dont remember words. Im shy, and we as a family did the operatics shows. My daughters have lovely voice like their dad. I wish i could join in on family gatherings.

    How did you keep the steadiness with 4 beats, without gasping for air in that middle register?
