Drop your jaw!
If you take voice lessons you have no doubt heard this command. You have even likely felt the beneficial effects of doing the jaw drop.
Why does dropping the jaw help?
And why do we often resist doing it?
In this episode, John looks at the acoustic science behind dropping your jaw and why it is critical to vocal balance in the upper register.
He also digs into why singers resist this and how it can be done wrong.
A jaw-droppingly good episode - ok, sorry for that.
We all know the feeling. Our voice sounds great in the practice room, only to fall apart when we go to sing in front of others.
How can we get the same confidence we feel when singing alone?
How can we sing like no one's listening?
This question comes from a listener of the podcast, and John gives his unique perspective on having a fearless mindset.
The greatest gift of singing is in the sharing. Don't let fear and nerves keep you from bringing joy to others.
Listen to this episode and get on that stage!
