Real class insight: Sarah’s one-on-one vocal session

In her singing lesson with Daniela, Sarah worked on improving key areas like breath support, vocal relaxation, and tone control. 

Despite the lingering effects of bronchitis, Sarah was able to use effective breathing techniques that improved her overall vocal performance. Here’s a breakdown of what they worked on:

Improving breath control – strengthening diaphragm support

Due to her bronchitis, Sarah often found herself running out of breath or feeling strained when hitting higher notes. 

Daniela helped Sarah focus on strengthening her diaphragm, which enabled her to engage her core muscles and improve airflow, resulting in better breath control.

What Sarah learned:

“Daniela showed me that proper breathing is essential for controlling my voice,” Sarah says. “I was releasing my breath too early, but by focusing on my diaphragm and keeping my core strong, I could support my voice much better.”

Through tailored exercises, Sarah started feeling more in control of her breath, even with bronchitis affecting her. “Now, I can sing longer phrases without feeling out of breath,” she reflects.

Relaxing the voice – eliminating tension for a clearer sound

Sarah faced vocal tension when trying to sing more demanding notes. Daniela worked with her on reducing tension in her throat and jaw, leading to a freer, more resonant sound.

What Sarah learned:

“Daniela helped me recognize the tension in my throat when I was singing higher notes,” Sarah explains. “She taught me to relax my throat and keep my voice open. I can feel the difference in my sound.”

Through techniques like the “woohoo” exercise, Sarah learned to release vocal tension and produce a clearer, more open tone. “Once I relaxed my throat and focused on deep breathing, my singing became smoother,” Sarah adds.

Increasing volume and confidence

Daniela encouraged Sarah to work on increasing her vocal volume, helping her sing more confidently without forcing the sound.

What Sarah learned:

By focusing on natural volume and not overthinking her performance, Sarah found herself singing with more confidence. “I was able to push my volume without straining, and it made a huge difference in how I approached higher notes,” Sarah says.
