Singing and posture–see Categories, About, Launch 4-2014

In VocalPosture.com’s opinion, accurate timing is more appreciated by the audience than precise pitch, but perhaps less than tonal quality.   In the case of the lead singer, he or she actually leads the music as well; in which case, accurate timing is more challenging. 

In general, the music follows the singer, by a slight fraction of a second.

So, when singing, one can’t listen to the music and sing, because one’s slightly behind.   If using good karaoke music, the words are frequently slightly off cue, but even if on-cue, it’ll sound like you’re reading the words.  The singing has to be interpreted with and lead the music.   So, how is this done?

VocalPosture.com’s opinion is to create a mental picture of the song and sing into that song.   The mental picture is created by knowing the song in advance, listening to the music as it is occurring, create the mental picture of what’s to come, and sing in harmony with the mental picture.

Imitation is natural to singing–that’s how people naturally learn. To stop this, the first is to recognize that this is a natural process. Next, one should interpret the lyrics and music, and put your own feelings into this. How would you feel sing this particular lyric?

Next, is a bit more challenging–when singing, you have to replace the “original’s” sound in your head with your new interpretation.
To help in this, you may want to incorporate the way you talk into your singing. Talking has numerous years of experience of nuances that is inimitable and has a great deal of subtlety. So, when you incorporate some of the talking acquired nuances, you’ll definitely sound original.
