Dots Thoughts on Amy Winehouse

Powerful vs. Empowered Singing

Part of why I take an emphasis on empowerment as a vocal coach is because of the short-lived careers of many artists who fall so quickly after they rise, or never even make it to the top, because they suffer the consequences of making choices that permanently damage the mind, soul and body.

To help you maximize YOUR VOICE as a gift of expression with clarity, good health, abundance and longevity, I've written an article on POWERFUL vs. EMPOWERED SINGING.

Amy Winehouse was another example of how an incredible voice and all the talent in the world alone does not guarantee personal fulfillment and self-empowerment... A powerful reminder of how important your Mind, Soul and VOICE are.

It's a tough world out there, and empowered singing can help!

PRE-AUDITION CHECKLIST
Have I met the requirements of the request? Example: 16 measures, 32 measures, etc., know if you need sheet music or accompanist, a cappella, etc.
Prepare at least 2 contrasting back up songs, just in case they ask you to sing something else.
If you're required to bring sheet music, tape it together and have it marked so an accompanist can easily play it.
