Practice for Singers

3 Mindset Shifts About Practice for Singers

1) Your Practice Doesn't Need to Be Long to Be Effective

A little goes a long way. Set aside 20 minutes in your schedule. Actually block off that time and set a reminder.

You can get a lot done in 20 minutes. Carve out 3 days per week, for example Mon. Wed. Fri.

Voice feeling tired? Take a rest day and come back to it the next day.

Practice shouldn't be about reinforcing bad habits for an hour. If you aren't sure how to practice, consult with an expert.

2) Replace the Word "Practice" With the Word "Training"

You would never go to the gym once a month if your goal was to get stronger or improve your physical fitness. The same goes with vocal fitness.

Don't let days or weeks go by without intentional training (not just songs but scales too).

If your goal is to improve then consistent training sessions need to happen more frequently.

Singing is a motor learning activity and repetition is key to building new neural pathways.

3) Invest in Good Quality Training vs. Quick Fixes or "Bells and Whistles"

Stay focused on your goal and commit to a curriculum that helps you develop consistent technique.

If your goal is performance, you'll need practical guidance and evidence-based tools.

Breakthroughs are more likely to happen when we spend less time scrolling the fluff and more time on our own voices.

"Shiny new object syndrome" videos may sometimes be fun to watch, but most quick tips don't work for the long haul.

Invest in a long-term training strategy with a qualified expert.

No distractions, no fluff, no more nonsense. Just a long-term strategy that is practical and is tailored to your goals and current skill level.

You may have to fight for your goal at all costs. Don't waste another minute on the loud quick fixes. Your time is precious.

Trust the process and stay the course. And remember, there are no shortcuts.
