Summary: Singing starts in the mind. And with that comes the positives and the negatives. We are more than just singers. We all have other responsibilities and roles in our lives that need attention too. Our brains are responsible for a lot, and sometimes the emoitions or stress that we are feeling will effect the voice. We tap into our emotions to bring out authentic singing, so it would make sense that the connection goes both ways. Perhaps we are not fully aware of how stressed or emotionally unbalanced we are until we see it present in our voice. The way to deal with this is to find healthy ways to deal with stress. This could mean a variety of things, but there is always the goal of doing what is best for you.
Key Terms: Enigmas. Psychogenic.
Key Concepts: Emotions have a direct connection to the voice. The best defense is a good offense: take care of yourself physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, etc.
Making Connections: I'm currently dealing with the repercussions of becoming too stressed. I have an AWESOME immune system, but when I allow my stress levels to get away from me, I get sick. But I should have payed closer attention to the week prior to me getting sick. I would have noticed last week that my voice took a long time to release, and that my head wasn't always in the right place while I was trying to sing. Paying attention to the warning signs of my voice could have saved me from this head cold, because I would have taken more time to sleep and take care of myself. Oh well, better luck next time.
