Ahoy all "voice technicians" of Vocalist.
I recently began teaching two students, young teens, who are incredible
dancers, both with first place trophies from their last competition. This
brother and sister have a very hard time letting go of the tension/strength
they have developed through doing ONE THOUSAND SIT-UPS A DAY! I've tried a
number of things to help them, but so far, the rippling muscles are winning.
Their young voices can't survive this. Can anyone shed some light on what I
might teach them? In order to stay completely steady for turns these
marvelous dancers also squeeze the daylights out of their ribs. Oy! My soft
body finds such ease with the breath. I'm lost!
