Singing Tips by Benita Charles Music

Tip #6: Take care of your voice.

Practice good vocal care in 3 ways:

 I. Treasure  it
    1) Appreciate your gift (don't take it for granted)

    2) Insure it! (treat it as if it's something precious that need a million dollar insurance)

    3) Take excellent care of your voice (it's your money maker)

II.  Use it

    1) Warm up your voice before singing/using it

    2) Practice to improve technique & range

    3) Perform often (share your gift to the world)

III. Protect it

    1) Avoid vocal abuse (take care of your health)

    2) Keep your throat covered in cold weather

    3) Rest your voice as much as possible (avoid over use/rest when sick)


I hope this is helpful. Your feedback is welcome.

Singing Tips by Benita Charles Music - #5

NY-Vocalist, Benita Charles shares singing tips for beginner singers.

Tip #5 - Build your repertoire. Create set lists from different genres. This will help you become a performer in-demand. 

• Practice at least 2 - 3 songs per week.
• Establish set lists from different genres. This will help you build your repertoire and get more gigs. (Michael Jackson learned over 100 songs as a child! This is one of the things that made him great - not too mention his raw talent.)
• Make your rehearsal fun. Practice sets from different eras (eg. Disco, Motown, 80s hits, etc.)
• Record your rehearsals.  This will help you learn what works and what doesn't work.
• Use an app like "Setlists" to help you manage your set lists and learn your lyrics.
