That's great allthumbs.

I have a couple of others I can add. I took voice lessons a while ago before I got sick. I should remember them when I sing, but I always forget.

One which surprised me was whether to "focus up or down". For example, when I wanted to reach a high note, I thought if I stepped on my tippy toes, it would help me get there. It is actually the opposite. You think high for low notes and high notes, she said to picture yourself driving the note through the floor. It really does work. Hope that makes sense.

Another one was to pay attention to the punctuation when it comes to breathing. You should only breathe where there is a period, comma or semi colon. Surprisingly, it really makes a difference in the flow of the music.

Posture of course is a biggy.

Again, I'm aware of these tips; I just forget to apply them

I'm also reading "Singing for Dummies" so, they have some interesting tips as well that I can add on if anyone is interested.

Sing away!
