First of a series of videos on Mindset. This one sets the stage, so to speak.

Hi, everyone! Here's a tip to keep your voice healthy as we get closer to the upcoming Holiday singing season!

OK, folks I am done with my 3rd surgery, which as you can see from the attached photo, I am still recovering from a bit. That has kept me from being online more but with this one out of the way we are now good to go for some more quality content. Thanks for your patience and hanging in there with me for this!

Welcome! I'm very excited that you are here! This community is for aspiring and experienced singers and vocal performers who are ready to grow, challenge themselves, and take their performance to the next level. Whether you're preparing for an audition, working toward a bigger performance opportunity, trying to overcome a technical hurdle, building confidence onstage, or simply wondering “What could my voice really do if I stopped holding myself back?” — you belong here. Because becoming a stronger performer isn't just about singing the right notes. It's about developing the technique, confidence, musicianship, mindset, and emotional connection that allow you to step onto a stage, into an audition room, or in front of a camera and perform at your best. Those are also the areas your Business DNA identifies as some of the biggest challenges facing your ideal performers. 🎶 Inside this community, you'll have opportunities to: - Strengthen your voice and musicianship — explore vocal technique, interpretation, repertoire, practice strategies, and ways to break through those frustrating places where you feel stuck. - Build a stronger performance mindset — develop greater confidence, work through stage fright and limiting beliefs, and prepare yourself to perform when the pressure is on. - Grow alongside other performers — ask questions, exchange ideas, share experiences and resources, make connections, and celebrate each other's breakthroughs and wins. Most importantly, I want this to be a community, not simply a place where I post and everyone else watches. Some of us are just beginning our journey. Others have been performing for years. We all have something we can learn — and something we can contribute. 🎤 So let's get started. Introduce yourself in the Introductions Channel and tell us: 1. Where are you from? 2. What kind of singing or performing do you do? 3. What are you working on right now? 4. What's one performance goal you'd LOVE to accomplish?

The continuation of the discussion on relaxed singing begun in yesterday's video. Everything said here is still relevant today!
