Learn How to Sing Better

Video Transcript

JAMES MENY: Okay. So you want to learn how to sing and you want to get good real fast. This is a very simple formula. If you think of anything that you've ever had to do with a very short deadline, you become ultimately very focused at getting that thing done. So if you have a research project due in two days, suddenly your whole life becomes that research problem. And in singing, it's the same thing. If you think that you're going to get phenomenal by taking a lesson a week, you can drag your progress out for another ten or twelve years. I'm not a big advocate of that. I'd really like your singing to be up and running as short as possible. So what I believe is, take as many lessons as you can in a shorter period as possible. So if you can cram in daily or ever other day lessons for the next three months, you should get your technique down pretty well by then. Then start transitioning to once a week to basically create maintenance or on going progress of that vocal technique. But by doing anything just once a week, whether it be singing, flying planes, learning scuba diving or taking cooking lessons, it drags out the process. And you may not have the patience to endure ten years of lessons to sound how, you know, to sound your best. I think you should get there as quickly as possible and that way you also create the least amount of mistakes between lessons. Because if you're doing a thirty minute lesson and you don't see that person for a week, it gives you six hours, you know, six days and twenty-three and a half hours to do something else other than the technique that they're trying to teach you. So inundate yourself massively. Again, not just with voice but anything you do. Learn how to fly planes, you want to learn Spanish, weekly lessons drag those things out. Get it done as quickly as possible, then come to your teacher for weekly maintenance afterwards.
