Uh well I'll list out one voice crap that I know, and if I were to give lessons it would be the first things I'd tell everyone. If you want to learn more just e-mail me at [email]iiholly@aol.com[/email]

Voice Care:
1. no soda- it puts a coat of sugar on your vocal chords and makes it hard for them to move
2. water-its like lotion for your vocal chords
3. cough, don't clear your throat. Clearing your throats causes the two flaps of skin that are your vocal chords to rub together which is bad. Coughing just lets the air go through the flaps.
Stance:
1. umm don't know if you know your ballet positions but go ask someone you know who does ballet or look it up. When formally singing you always stand in the "third" ballet position.
2. don't lock your knees... this can cause you to pass out.
3. When you stand, stand with your chest out. Like you have a string attached to your chest that is tied to the cieling. DON'T ARCH YOUR BACK.
4. There should be no tension in your throat when you sing.
Exercise:
SHHHH EXERCISE
1. get in positino
2. breathe in so you're stomach expands
3. blow all the air out as fast as you can while making a psh noise through your teeth. You may get spit all over what is in front of you, thats an indicationg that you're doing it right.

And thats all I've got to say about that.
