WEARY SINGER TIPS:

Weary Singer tips:

Do you ever have to sing tired?

If you had a background vocal session the other day that went longer than you expected it to. You began to physically tire.
As is my habit, I tried to make a mental note to share with you what helps.

At one point, you had to hold some high, long notes on that pesky vowel sound "e". You usually don't have much trouble, but your breath support was lagging due to  physical fatigue.

So what to do?

Make a conscious decision to move your jaw sideways in a very slight little chewing motion. NOT TOO MUCH, or it would cause a loss of control.

What you did to allowed your "e" vowel to relax more vertically.
You articulated the syllable, shifted your breath support/control into gear by stretching tall and squeezing from the pelvic floor, pulled the "e" from your voice path, and it was smooth sailing. It worked for other vowels, too.

IMPORTANT:
If you are doing master lead vocals in the studio and you're too tired to sing, in a word...DON'T!!!! You possibly can get by with tired demos and worktapes, but not master leads. The most important part of a master [a master project needs to be ready to pitch to labels, to sell and to be given airplay] is, after all the vocals.
