Each Voice Is Unique

One of the fundamentals of singing is to understand that each of us has a unique voice that is more unique as vocal muscular function improves.

The following factors determine this unique vocal quality:

• The first is the actual construction or shape of our physical bodies, such as the spaces in our neck and head.

• The second is our mind. How we think and can use our imaginations to create sounds.

• The third is our emotions. How we can access and express our feelings in our sounds without disturbing function. For example, it is very hard to cry and sing simultaneously.

• The fourth is our basic temperament. For example, whether we are a more excited person or laid back person, which would mean that we would naturally infuse our voice with more energy if excited or less energy if laid back.
