Ep. #19 How to speak/sing into the mic.
Hey singers AND speakers!
I have a BIG pet peeve. My pet peeve is when people (anyone, but particularly speakers) speak into a microphone from too far way. They ask for the mic to be turned up, and then they get feedback. Public speakers LISTEN UP! You don’t have to be afraid of the microphone. It’s there to amplify your voice. Use it. Check out this episode to see basics on how to speak/sing into the common handheld (dynamic cardioid) microphone.

Ep. #17 How to get to that chesty sound…
Hey singers!
Today’s episode talking about how to get that chesty sound in the head voice. Even if you’re not there yet, remember to use your upper range as often as you can. This will build up that part of your range, so that you won’t feel the need to push or strain in your chest voice. Eventually you’ll develop a mixed voice (passagio) that will be strong and healthy. But it’s gonna take practice and exercise (warmups), just like learning anything else. Sara is planning on doing many more episodes with attention to building up the mixed voice range, as this is a problem for EVERY singer!
