The idea behind absolute freedom is complete surrender to your voice. Trust is a big word. Trusting yourself. Trusting your larynx to do what it has done correctly everyday from the moment you were born. We have "the wobble" as the ultimate goal in mind and we get there by being flexible, trusting, and free. It is a sense of natural vibrato that comes when you focus entirely on keeping your air grounded and your upper body loose and trusting. It doesn't come from micromanaging the muscles in your neck and everywhere else. It comes from two simple things we need to focus on. A strong center and a trusting larynx.

Key Connections: The wobble is the natural vibrato that "happens" when your singing and doesn't ask you to "do". It comes from a strong center and free and flowing air.

Key Concepts: The wobble, flexability

Connections: A lot of the time I myself micromanage my larynx. And I do it subconsciously. I tense up everything because it feels safe. I just need to trust that my body will do what its designed to do and the only thing I have control over is whether I feed it or not. In this case I feed it with energy from my core rather than my tongue and larynx.
