Singing endurance milestone!

[btherl]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to share an achievement of mine. Last saturday I sang in a jamming session for 2 hours. And at the end of the 2 hours, I was still able to sing! Previous times, I have worn out my voice after a very short time only.

I think what made the difference was sticking to good technique instead of screaming. I have a habit of increasing pressure when I can't hear myself over the band, and that causes bad vocal chord approximation, eventually leading to pain and total inability to sing. But I was able to keep that habit in check, keeping the pressure balanced and maintaining my voice throughout.

I am very happy now One bad habit down, 10 more to go..

Wow!That's great!I'm so happy for you!Yes,its always important not 2 have to scream or shout instead of singing. Do note that when jammin or even when performing, the band should never be over-powering the vocalist. You as vocalist should not be having 2 compete with the band. if you find that you can't hear yourself, perhaps you could try asking your band to tone down the volume on their instruments/amps. Ive had tat problem with my band before but not anymore. Anyway, really happy for you though! Keep it up! :lol:

Yea Hex,I know what you mean.As a vocalist our voices are very important.We should do all we can to maintain it.No point screaming above the band's music & losing our voices in the process.
