Infographic: Improve Your Posture to Improve Your Singing!

The Singer's Stance THE A-O JOINT: THE SHOULDERS: This is where your very top vertebra (the atlas) forms a joint with the bottom of your skull (the occiput). Balance your head on this joint so that you are neither looking up nor down. A properly balanced A-O joint reduces neck and jaw tension. Your shoulders are not connected to your ribcage, so they shouldn't move while you sing. Do not counter this by standing to attention! Instead, float your shoulders into a relaxed, neutral position. THE NECK: Your neck is just part of your spine. Streamline it with the rest of your spine rather than craning it forward. If you balance your head on your A-O joint, your neck should move into this position. THE ARMS: When you are not gesturing, relax your arms at your sides. Do not make fists, clasp your hands, or fidget with your clothes; this adds tension and makes you look (and feel) nervous. THE TORSO: For optimal breathing, balance your torso on top of your hips and allow it to feel large and open. Do not try to flatten your spine; it is naturally curved and flattening it hinders breathing. --+ HIPS: Position your pelvis directly under your torso so it can provide maximum support. It should not be pushed forward or backward. LEGS: -- Soften your knees so they are neither bent nor locked. Position your legs directly under your body, feeling their support. FEET: Feet should be about shoulder-width apart. Balance your weight across your feet evenly so that you are not leaning forward or backward. t0 takelessons
