Vocal Body Tension Be Gone – Quickly
Step 1:
Stand – scan your body! Let your mind wander to each part of it.
– recognize where your excess tension is;
– your jaw, your throat, your tongue,
– vocal tension is a whole body event…!
– notice excess tension in your neck, shoulders, hips, legs or feet.
– you are free to have the tension exactly as it is right now!
– right this moment let it be! You are free to have it!
Step 2:
Remind yourself – your head balances easily on top the spine.
– it is buoyant, dynamic, free; it aims upwards
– so the back and all of you can follow.
– with your mind, locate the front side of your spine; your central support
– now your left side edge; now your right side edge.
– altogether; head, spine, sides…. releasing, like ‘dough rising’, lightening up and outwards.
– let your hips free as pressure lightens:
– soften the back of your knees… tightness frees itself.
– your connect your feet to spread into the ground.
– all constriction gives way.
– your breathing eases, effortlessly… it’s nature’s way.
Step 3:
Repeat the process.
– return to your balancing head; poised easily as it leads so the spine can follow…
– like a mushroom emerging through the earth’s surface. Upwards!
-connect again the front spine; your left side, your right side.
– your whole torso releasing up and outwards.
– your hips free. Your mind connects your hips to heels:
– knees undone, tightness frees itself.
– the soles of your feet link to the ground.
– energy rises up and out of you.
– breathing comes effortlessly – in and out….the way nature intended..in and out.
Step 4:
Now – think a happy thought: a wonderful day in the sun,
– a child playing, singing in the sun.
– let a smile play around your eyes and mouth.
– your voice eases,
– breathing happens in and out- effortlessly!
Now…you’re ready to move into your performance!
