Singers Must Learn Correct Posture
Posture is basic to the development of a singer's skills. It is vital to have a relaxed upper body with the feet planted firmly on the ground. Make sure the knees are not stiff, but relaxed with one foot slightly forward. A singer should always be thinking about whether the posture is correct with muscles relaxed, and spine lengthened while standing. Posture and breathing support are dependent on each other, so voice students should be made aware of the significance. Voice instructors tell their students to stand up straight so that they stretch out their spine and lower the chin as if to tuck it in. By doing this they will make room for air to flow through their lungs more readily as they inhale and exhale. With bad posture, you can get back pain and muscle strain which will extend from the upper body to the back, which could result in back pain. As a result, the vocal cords will become stressed so your voice will not be completely full or at it's best when you perform. Vocal cords are sensitive, so remember that relaxation is the key to a fuller, more expressive voice. If you are going to sing in public, make sure you think of your spine as you prepare to sing. It's important that your diaphragm is working in conjunction with your lengthened spine as you begin singing. Excellent posture with meaningful eye contact present an aura of confidence and willingness to communicate with the audience. How should you stand while you perform in front of an audience? Try to stand with each foot firmly on the floor. Make sure each knee is not straightened as this can create problems with balance and can even disrupt air flow. Your feet will help ground you and work with your good posture as you perform. A lengthened spine with relaxed shoulders will give a performing singer a poised sense of self for the audience. If the knees continue to stiffen, practice looking in a mirror so that you are aware of the problem. It is important to correct this, as you do not want to spread muscle tightness and strain to your back. As a singer think of the voice the as an instrument of the body when you sing. This means that singers have to train themselves to have the correct posture when they sing. It is difficult at first, but well worth it because good posture gives any singer an edge over others. -->
