@vocaldecoding: Singers, if you’re performing for your audience, you’re cheating them—and you’re putting yourself above them. Performing is for you first. It’s for you to have your experience. By having your own experience onstage, you open the door for the audience to have theirs. Each audience member now has permission to have their own unique experience. So your job as a performer is to have a great time up there—experiencing yourself in a brand-new way, experiencing the song in a brand-new way, and experiencing the entire event in a brand-new way. When you do that, that childlike sense of awe becomes contagious. Energetically, it opens the door for the audience to experience awe and wonder as well—and to have their own unique experience, which may have nothing to do with yours at all. Your job is not to tell the audience what to feel. Your job is to feel for yourself, which allows the audience to feel whatever they want to feel, need to feel, or came to feel. Everybody comes to a show for an experience. On the surface, we come to hear a great singer or great songs. But go a few layers deeper, and nobody really cares about that. They care about the experience that hearing the great singer or the great songs allows them to have. That’s what you do as a performer. And it starts by performing for yourself first. #singersongwriterartist #singingtips #voiceteacher #singinginpublic #vocalcoaching @Vocal Decoding

Is it ok to sing a song a full octave lower without adjusting the melody?

What you said is completely on point! You are so aware of the truth of performance. By the way, I’m gonna give you a call in the next week or two and start mine lessons again.

Does this apply to Church choirs too?

Wow, I’ve never heard that before and I think it’s spot on. I believe that’s where the fear comes from; trying to hold yourself to a level that can never be achieved and you forget why you are there. 😎

There was an experience I was singing for a audience and I literally cracked myself up on stage because I was so happy to be there! ✨😁

UNI-VERSE /(ANDREAS) :
couldn't have said it better myself this is why we call it an instrument (just thought I'd throw that in) for me it's an instrument of healing, self-expression and self-entertainment so when I sing a song I'm living it because I'm feeling it as if I'm the central character and in doing so (like you said so eloquently ) others hopefully will know and feel that in their own way. In my case I'm aiming to let people know that they're not alone (should they have the same dilemma or joy) or ultimately to instill that tiny little seed of awareness in the back of their mind that I like to think will eventually blossom into love for life, their fellow human being and ultimately themselves yes?

I perform for myself and my neighbours suffer. I will tell them it is for their own good.

I love this. I’ve always felt my best performances are when I experience the music as myself, for myself. That’s when raw emotion meets art for everyone.

I love this - I tend to over give my energy trying to connect to an audience and I get so exhausted - I know I need to keep my energy and have my experience - such good advice xx
