Time To Get Serious

I'm not going to smoke anymore. And I'm going to start singing out loud at least once every day. I'm also going to try and remember to spend some time everyday going through deep breathing routines to try and expand and strengthen my diaphragm muscles. (I think I'm correct in what I just said)

I've decided I want to work on my vocal and really get it to its absolute best, just like Will Young.

I guess its from an increasing desire to deliver great, consistent performances. I know that I'm not the best guitar player out there, I seem to struggle to hit the right strings and get my hands in the right positions sometimes, but I am absolutely sure that I have a naturally great voice and for me to not capitalise on that would just be stupid!

I don't want to go too over the top though. I'm not going to start drinking honey and cutting out spicy foods. I just want to be able to use my voice to demonstrate a higher level of emotion, of texture and dynamics. I want to increase my range so that I can project depth and warmth from my voice instead of just soaring highs.

Plus perhaps if my voice was a little stronger with a little more character, I might find myself recording more vocal harmonies etc for my electronic work. That would be nice.
