Los cantantes luchan con obstáculos emocionales que afectan su rango vocal. ¿Cómo puedes ayudarlos a abrirse paso?
Para los cantantes, los bloqueos emocionales pueden ser tan limitantes como los físicos. Para ayudarles a alcanzar nuevas alturas vocales:
- Fomenta las prácticas de atención plena, como la meditación , para controlar el estrés y la ansiedad, fomentando una interpretación vocal más relajada.
- Sugiera escribir un diario para explorar y liberar las emociones reprimidas que pueden estar restringiendo su rango.
- Ofrézcales un espacio seguro y sin prejuicios para que expresen sus sentimientos y temores relacionados con su voz.

I do not agree that a singer’s range can be limited by emotional issues. The voice is a muscle and the expansion of a vocal range can be gained via proper vocalize, breath, and support of the teacher. If you go to a gym, you are not going to be stopped in the use of your quads or calves because of emotional issues. they might be weak, but they’re not going to stop operating. the voice can be weak, especially in the upper register with a lot of singers, but within a couple of weeks of proper exercise, I’ve seen amazing things happen with the expansion of range. I think it’s incorrect to say that a psychological perspective affects the muscle: the vocalis.

One thing I have found helpful is to do fifteen minutes of breathing exercises every single time I practice, sing, perform or train my voice whether in a choir, with nobody, before a performance or with a vocal teacher. It helps ease the tension inside from life's stresses and it also warms up the muscles needed to sing well. It also is handy to visualise something low to the ground, when singing high, so as to counteract any nerves about hitting the pitch with extreme accuracy. Likewise, try an action such as raising your hand in solfege movements to accurately pinpoint the correct melody pattern. ( Teacher training recommended, courses exist I believe ). Also, you must must be confident and self assured & most importantly believe in you!

Coming from an acting background as well as singing, one of the most practical ways to release trapped energy is through movement. If a singer or performer is finding something is emotionally blocked, it usually means something is also physically blocked. Emotions are just feelings, in motion. So I would encourage artists to get moving. While they practice singing (or acting) stretch, twist, run in place, close their eyes while rolling on the round. Allow whatever happens to happen. One might feel nothing at first, or one might feel everything. Keep experimenting. Avoid trying to sound good or pretty, just move, and see what releases. The more one frees the body, the more emotions free themselves naturally over time.

Here is a situation where mindfulness techniques can be incorporated into a lesson. Help the student learn how to relax, release anxiety, draw into the present moment. Suggest vocal as well as physical exercises that can be helpful anytime or anyplace.

Ensure you and the student match in communication style. Impress upon them that it takes time and study to build mindful practice; avoid the ‘results on demand’ of a student who requests a random lesson to prep for an audition. From there, build relationship and trust. Work intuitively with whatever technique you, the teacher believes in, to empower student understanding of how the individual voice works at the laryngeal level. (Basic vocal science). As a singer’s voice improves he/she/they gain ease, facility and choice over the sounds created. The thrill of working with students who have agency over their voice production; together, we are able to focus on communication, interpretation and more choice!
