A short article, but hopefully useful 🙂 Watch your breath, like it’s precious. Return to it every time you feel off track. Learn to define yourself by what you don’t do, rather by than what you do. This will make you humble to the real wonders of life. And it will keep you constantly… Continue reading Practice Tips to Live By

Welcome to SingersFit! 🙂 Here you will find tips and articles about all things singing/fitness related, because let me tell you – in case you didn’t know – that singing is very much linked to being fit. Singers are Athletes in their whole right! Breathing, posture, and the engagement of the muscles for support are the basic primary fuel that allows that voice to come out. So as a passionate singer/fitness instructor/music teacher myself, and with years of having this idea in mind – including wondering, investigating, guessing, trial-error tests, and a lot of intuition -, I’ve finally put it all together hoping I can be of help to you, who are looking to develop/improve your body awareness from the physical to the ethereal and beyond 😛 (ahhh… us, the dreamers!)
Insecurities & Obsessions
Where to start. We all have them in more or less measure and colours. Acknowledging them is growth. Working towards them requires courage and a strong will. Not always easy. We become insecure when our expectations aren't met and when we compare ourselves to others.

What are you afraid of? public speaking, intimacy, making decisions, stage fright, ageing, flying, being alone, being hurt... we fear changes, we fear beginnings and we fear endings, we fear success and we fear failure, we fear life and we fear death. We always fear.… Continue reading Fear & Doubt
Periods & Performance
Is it just me or do you find yourselves supernaturally energetic when you ladies are on your period? On equal measure, I feel my senses significantly heightened, my mind is hyper-sensitive and I have all sorts of perceptions from everywhere at the same time that I normally don't have. This leads me to overthinking, overanalyzing… Continue reading Periods & Performance
Singers & Aesthetics
What and How you Wear it, matters. I've always been pretty normal in my dress sense, not necessarily paying attention to brands or trends as long as I liked it and fitted nicely. I was never influenced by what everyone else was wearing, and on the other hand I was also unique for that very… Continue reading Singers & Aesthetics
Practice & Environment
*Preparation of the space is the preparation of the mind, whether you are rehearsing with your band, practising your voice or doing your fitness routine.* Space. The space where you carry out your exercises has a massive impact on the quality of your results. I remember when I started living on my own, in an… Continue reading Practice & Environment
