Most of you answered my question “what do you struggle with most in your singing?” with one word: CONFIDENCE. So let’s talk about it! Confidence is not something you’re born with, it’s something you build. First, remember this: your voice is unique, each voice is different. Some are soft, some are powerful, others are fragile, some take time to grow, and that’s EXACTLY what makes the voice so beautiful. You cannot compare your voice to someone else’s, just like you cannot compare yourself to anyone else. There is only one you, and your voice is part of you — it mirrors your body, your emotions, your mindset. If you’re tired, your voice will be tired, when you’re excited and happy, your voice will be too! Our voice mirrors our state. If you feel free, confident, and open, guess what, your voice will be too. So how do we build confidence? 1. Shift your mindset before you sing!!! Tell yourself: “I'm going to sing great today, I can do this, I don't care what anybody else thinks, if it sucks it sucks and if it's good, it's good.” Cause the thing is, every effort you make, every note you sing, good or bad, it's part of the process and it's GREAT! Also, keep low expectations and your perfectionism out the door during your lessons (especially), as confidence grows when it's free from pressure. 2. Stop comparing!!! You cannot compare your voice to others, just like you cannot compare yourself to others, because each voice is unique. So, instead of comparing, start discovering! Tell yourself: “Let's see what my voice can do today” Your colour, your texture, your emotion, that is your power. 3. Dare, dare, dare!!! DARE to push the boundaries of your voice, sing in ways that are unusual (like make monkey sounds, sing upside down, I can go on forever with this...), because you'll discover parts/facets of your voice you didn't even know existed. Don't be afraid to sing a false note, crack in the middle of a run, forget your lyrics, because in the end, we ALWAYS learn from it anyway! Be gentle with yourself and your voice will be gentle to you :"Ohh that note was off...why is that? Maybe I lacked support, let me work on that!" or "Why do I have such an airy voice today? Oh yeah, I went to bed at 3am last night, I'm tired, that's why. Let me work on exercices that help closing the vocals chords". Those mind sets are healthy!

The truth behind breath support Most singers are told to “sing from their stomach.” Honestly, that’s just confusing and wrong. Here’s what actually supports your voice: 👉 Your diaphragm. Your diaphragm is a small, dome-shaped muscle (I call it your little potato 🍠) that sits right under your lungs. When you inhale, it moves downward, creating space for your lungs to fill with air.When you exhale, it moves back up, controlling how the air is released. 💡 That controlled release of air is what gives you real breath support. Not: ❌ sucking in your stomach ❌ pushing your abs ❌ clenching your core Those often create tension, instability, vocal fatigue, but mostly: confusion. 🙃 📣 Super important!!: Your stomach movement is just the reaction of your diaphragm moving, NOT the cause. The real boss? That little potato. Your diaphragm. Curious to learn how to: - actually control your breath? - sing with less tension? - gain power, range & stamina?
