I heard a great story I want to share with you singers out there because too many times we ruin performances or don't hit notes that are well within our technical ability because of what we are saying in our heads...
The story goes.... a young boy and his father hiking on a mountain side, the boy slipped and fell about 30 feet down the mountain.. he caught himself in some brush... he was unhurt but shaken and scared. He called out, Somebody help me and a voice came back.. Somebody help me.
The boy was surprised and confused.. he said Who are you.. and the voice answered, Who are you... the boy became angry and yelled You're a coward and the voice yelled back You're a coward... the boy shouted, You're a fool, the voice answered angrily, You're a fool... Just then the boys father reached him and the boy asked who it was that was yelling back at him... He explained that it was an echo but that it was also called life. He said let me show you something and shouted, You're a winner, and the voice said, You're a winner... the boys father shouted, You have what it take, and the voice said, You have what it takes... He bellowed, You've got what it takes, and the voice dutifully repeated, You've got what it takes... the father explained that was exactly how life works, what ever you send out always comes back to you!
Singers what ever you are saying before your performances, before you high notes or low notes, before your practices and rehearsals will ALWAYS come back and you will do exactly like you thought you would...
Just food for thought...
