This volume is fast paced and
assumes that you have a strong working knowledge of the vocabulary and techniques
established in Volumes One, Two and Three. Although there will be several new concepts and
techniques added here, I like to think of Volume Four as the "Application
Volume." You should find some wonderful ideas in this volume to further help you
naturalize your singing. This process, like everything we've worked on, begins with the
ear.
There is a natural learning curve to be expected when you're learning a
technique with any instrument or art form. When you're processing the amount of
information involved in The Art of Body Singing, things are bound to sound a bit
intellectual for awhile. But rest assured, the more you really teach yourself to own the
technique, the more naturally you will be able to execute it. So, continue to chip away at
your mechanics, allow for a settling period, and have fun.
See below for examples of Correct Posture and Open Rib Cage Technique (This is originally taught in Volume 2, but needs a lot of reminding).
