If you’ve been battling tension while singing, you might feel like you’ve been doing something wrong.
But that’s not necessarily the case. Muscles are really good at protecting you, at helping you make sound even if without great support. That tension is muscles working to HELP you.
For example, if you aren’t moving air easily enough, your jaw or your neck might volunteer to help. And it works for a while! Until it doesn’t.
So if you can’t seem to “just relax” and it’s getting in your way, it may be time to check in with the rest of your body… your rib cage, your abs, your pelvic floor, etc.
