One Simple Strategy That Successful Singers Employ To Up Their Game

By Arden Kaywin | April 23, 2019

I know the path of a singer can sometimes feel like a slog. You’re so passionate about the music and you connect to the art form, but you have this nagging feeling like there’s more potential in your voice then you are accessing. If you could only access it, you’d finally gain the momentum you’re seeking in your singing journey. There’s lots of reasons you might feel this way. Perhaps you’re realizing you didn’t have

Learn How To “Sing On The Gesture Of Inhalation”

By Arden Kaywin | April 10, 2019

My voice teacher in grad school would always say that unlike instrumentalists, singers are not able to objectively look at our instrument. So the development of our imagination is crucial to how we “play” it.    If your goal is to play your instrument to it’s potential, then opening your imagination to conceive of your singing technique in new and different ways is essential.    Today I’ve got a new image for you that will stabilize your breath support.

Up-Level Your Singing Technique Using Sensory Awareness In Your Body

By Arden Kaywin | March 3, 2019

Having a present moment sensory awareness of your body while you sing is a MAJOR key ingredient to your ability to take your singing to that next level.   One thing I know for sure: you can not change what you are not aware of.    So an essential component of singing to your potential, and the thing that has the biggest effect on how successful you are in doing so, is your ability to

For Singers Who Have Ever Felt Stuck In Your Head. . . . . .

By Arden Kaywin | February 11, 2019

Happy almost Valentine’s Day! As I take in all the Hallmark sentiments floating around this time of year, I’m reminded that love is much deeper than romance. Love comes in many forms. Your relationship with your voice and with singing is the kind of love that can help you achieve things you never thought you could and take you places you never thought you’d go. . . . . if you only let it. I think

Demystifying Breath Support

By Arden Kaywin | January 14, 2019

Lately I’ve been noticing just how much confusion and frustration singers have around breath support and breathing for singing.     Singers can get SO down on themselves when they don’t feel their breath is beneath them. Do you relate?   You’re tired of the fear of not making it to the end of the phrase. You wonder why your high notes feel strained. You’re frustrated when you don’t consistently sing the way you want to. You start blaming yourself that

The Sensation Of Good Singing

By Arden Kaywin | December 18, 2018

There’s so much content out there with tips and tools for how to improve singing performance. Over the years there’s one key thing I’ve learned. It’s the first step a singer needs to take in order to unlock the potential of their voice. I was reminded of it the other day when I heard this quote by poet Nayyirah Waheed: “Listening is one of the only spaces where you can be still and moved at

Why You Have Tension & Strain When You Sing (and other reasons high notes are hard)

By Arden Kaywin | December 4, 2018

The Holy Grail for singers is the ability to sing without strain and tension throughout the entire expanse of your range while finding a free, powerful, resonant and vulnerable sound. Simple right???? I’m rolling my eyes right now – you probably are too. I feel you. I mean, if singing like that were simple, you’d be doing it by now. You would never strain going for high notes, you would never tense up at the

How To Find Your Most True And Organic Sound

By Arden Kaywin | November 6, 2018

I often hear from singers who say “I am having trouble finding my own sound”. Have you ever felt that way? For commercial singers (recording artists and musical theater singers) it can feel like you don’t quite know what lane your voice fits into, or what kind of singing or genre is the most organic for your voice. If you’re an opera singer, it can feel like being unsure of what fach you are in

Tools For Healthy Belting

By Arden Kaywin | October 23, 2018

Do you ever get confused and frustrated by all the conflicting information out there around the idea of healthy belting? Some voice teachers shun the fact that there is even such a thing as healthy belting and they steer singers away from belting entirely. Others teach a technique that doesn’t address the tensions that inefficient belting creates, and unknowingly lead their singers down a dangerous path towards possible vocal injury. I recently heard from a
