Is It True?
I have often hear people say this about singing.
"I don't have talent."
"I am not a born singer."
These remarks bring up a question.
Are singers born or trained?
The simple truth is, since everyone can speak and our vocal cords are
all about the same. I believe that everyone who has the "heart" to sing
can indeed sing.
Perhaps the real comment is that, not everyone can sing to the same level of
vocal quality. But that doesn't mean some are born singers and some are not.
Let the "not singers" be aware.
The truth is, if the "not singers" wish to sing, they through proper training, can
and will be able improve and up their level of vocal quality. Like a runner, who
needs to train constantly to improve her stamina.
Singers to be, would also need to constantly train and practise their singing.
So the next time you hear someone say "I am not a born singer."
Do reply, "I beg to differ."
"I don't have talent."
"I am not a born singer."

Hillary: Future President
A self confession.
Hillary - "I know I can't sing. So what?"
Me - "How about a lesson then?"
Hungry Like The Wolf (Lyrics)

By Duran Duran
Darken the city night is awire steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Woman you want me give me a sign and catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd and I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like whine and I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest too close to hide I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight you feel my heat I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
In touch with the ground I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside and I'm hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf, hungry like the wolf, hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's dicord and rhyme I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine and I'm hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound I'm lost and I'm found and I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside and I'm hungry like the wolf

Must Breathe Correctly
All professional singers attest that to singing correctly, one must breathe correctly.
Breathing correctly means to learn the breathe technique and also to control our breathing, thus having the wind power in our body to give the optimum output when we sing.
When I observe how a baby breathe I notice her diaphragm goes up and down. Compared to how I breathe, my upper chest goes up towards my shoulder. Yucks, I am doing it all wrong.
My daughter's breathing is natural, the diaphragm working by sucking all the air in filing the whole lungs with air, therefore her all that power when she cries and yell for milk. My chesty breathing, pulling air in and filing only the upper lungs, is a half complete job and overall is tiring, trying to pull in the air and letting it out.
Breathing correctly is mandatory for a singer. With proper diaphragm breathing, its like loading our body with gunpowder and then exploding, gushing the air through our vocal cords, giving us a powerful voice to sing.
