That's right! More... whilst Oliver Twist couldn't get more when he asked... YOU CAN! And, you didn't even have to ask :) So, as usual with my singing tuition, I shall be brief so you can read, digest and put into practice.
First of all, if you ever find yourself having trouble singing a particular part of a song don't be afraid to alter it slightly to fit more comfortably with your voice or your style. You may occasionally find that a song has a little bit that is too high, or, too low. It could even be phrasing you have an issue with. But don't be afraid to change it slightly as I say. By doing this you not only ensure that the part still sounds awesome but you also do what the 'X-Factor' (bleurgh) judges call 'make it your own'. A little affliction along the way that is you and not the original artist will add your own personal stamp to a track so feel free to experiment.
Next up, if you are belting it out on stage and realise that you have made a mistake try to now draw attention to yourself. Just carry on and focus on the next part of the song and getting back into your correct stride. Don't dwell on the glitch, chances are most folk won't even have noticed, just dust yourself off and crack on... onwards and upwards! This way you won't be thinking about what just happened and won't make any more mistakes in a nervous frenzy.
And, there you go... a couple more handy bits and bobs to get you through the week.
Right, I'm off for a nice brew... without milk of course (why? Read this Blog).
Tatty Bye!

Put A Plug In It! Singing Tips...
Good Monday! Over the weekend I was talking to a Canterbury singing teacher called Morgan. When I asked her for a recommendation for singers out there, she said 'get yourself some earplugs!' And, here's why this is a fantastic piece of advice for budding and professional singers alike. Your ears are the only pair you'll ever get and hearing loss will not only affect your singing but your entire life!! Your ears are the only pair you'll ever get and hearing loss will not only affect your singing but your entire life!! YES, I meant to repeat that twice because it is SO important! So, be it for performing or watching a live band, get yourself a good set of earplugs to keep you safe.
With regards choice, there are ear plugs specifically for singers that allow you to change the reduction of unwanted noise. This helps to get the balance right in your head between the music your singing to and the level of you own voice. A lot of professional singers get their ear plugs molded to the shape of their ears for the perfect fit. Why not have a look on Google and get investigating which ones are right for you!
