Three Key Points:
Everything is energy and the experience of energy affects every part of our bodies, lives, and even relationships. The vibration of your voice can identify some of the experiences you’ve had in your life.
Your vibrational energy affects your vocal health. When you’re experiencing low vibrational energy, then muscles of your vocal system tense up and will cause issues for singers or speakers. During positive or high vibrational energy, muscles relax, and you’ll have vocal freedom. Unnecessary tension around the vocal tract, throat, neck, shoulders, tongue, chest, or abdominal muscles will always cause issues for vocalists.
When you get into your space then you get into a state of flow that just feels so good. This space is your fulfillment, purpose, passion, or even the entertainment side of you. That’s where you can really inspire others.
