Your Perfect Performance is Already Here!

Well…. I’m going to start with page one of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer’s book “Everyday Wisdom” and give you a quote and then tell you how that real life wisdom also applies to singing. Since most of these things come up in lessons with my students at one point or another, I thought I’d share some of my interpretations here with you as well!

The first quote I’m using is this, “All the abundance you want is already here. You just have to tune it in.” (Dr. Wayne W. Dyer)

Okay… singers are always trying to add more, do more, sing louder, sing more emotional and generally make a song better. Your perfect performance is already here!! By being or have more abundance in your vocal chops, you knowledge of music, you vocal strength, etc… singers think they can make a perfect performance! If you quit looking for the things to add, for the abundance to add to a song and tune it to the perfection that each of us are, we will effortlessly add the right notes, the right nuances, the right feel to any song, at any time… What you want for the song is already with in you… you just have to be in touch with it and everything that you want to do.... can happen!

But singers, as are people, are always on some quest to make everything perfect. And by perfect they usually mean they need more stuff, they think they are lacking something they need get in order to reap the abundance, weather material or vocal. They chase abundance in search of perfection.

Everything you want and need is already here, you don’t need to go looking for it. My job as a vocal coach is really to help students shed the layers of conditioning that keep them from the perfection that is already there. It’s to show students how to reach and tap into that perfection by eliminating what has become normal, and replacing it with what is natural to them. Reminding or re-teaching singers what they already know how to do… thereby allowing every abundance to magically manifest itself automatically! The big secret is that it was really there all the time, we just forget how to tap into it and use it.

Neither perfection, nor abundance are concepts that are external to us. They are both within each of us and are available to us every moment of every day. We just, as Dr. Dyer says, “have to tune it in”… or dare I say get connected to that perfection that is already there. If you want more abundance in your singing, get tuned into the perfection that is inside and get out of its way. Stop hindering what was intended for you, and start singing the way you were meant to sing!
