Here I would like to communicate with vocalists about their concerns are in relation to performing.
I was recently the host bassist at a jam session for vocalists in NYC, and was touched by the enthusiasm in which the different singers participated. At the same time, I was taken back by the amount of discomfort I sensed in almost everyone’s performance.
I would like to hear what people have to say about their experiences when performing, both good and bad, professional and amateur.
I also felt that many of the problems the singers were having could have been avoided with three or four hours of training.
