Welcome to Day 2 of the Establish Your Vocal Practice
Routine in 5 Days Challenge!
As I promised the prompts will only take 5-15 minutes. This
one will probably take a little more time than the assignment from Day1, as it
will require thought and reflection, but it will definitely fit into the 15
minute frame.
Goals!!!
In order to save yourself time, frustration and overwhelm,
you should show up for your vocal practice session knowing exactly how you will
spend the valuable time you've dedicated as an investment in your vocal
development.
So what I'll ask you to do today is to set up about 10 minutes and really think about what your current level is and the results you want to observe after a certain number of practice sessions.
- Where do you want to go with your practice?
- What results do you want to see?
- Do you want to generally increase your range, acquire better breath support, or learn a particular song so that you nail it every single time? Or maybe all of these?
Define your goals and break them into
bite-sized milestones. Make sure you can track your progress on each goal.
Stay realistic as of how much time the goal will take. For example, if you want to extend the range of your voice, don't expect this to happen overnight.
Otherwise, you are more likely to get overwhelmed, disappointed and even end up
quitting.
Here are a couple of helpful resources to check out while crafting your goals and defining the milestones:
