As a voice coach, Can you share a story about a performance problem and how you helped them?I helped a few people with issues that manifested physically, which is to say they were having issues with either an element of their work or how the piece was being directed, how they were being directed, and very often because of something called the vagus nerve which Ties in very much with all of the vocal mechanisms.People can have a stiff neck or they start to lose their voices, things like that.And so when I am able to identify that it's something like that going on, the best thing that I can do as a voice teacher is simply to listen ask some respectful questions and help the performer feel like the power is. More in their hands because they usually feel like power's been taken away from them.And the, this chakra here, it's the fifth chakra. It's creativity, communication, self-expression.And when we feel locked down there, a lot of people tend to grind their teeth or start to get TMJ issues.They start to click, or there's just a lot of what are called hard glottal attacks, things like that. So. It's almost like we're, we're self sabotaging, you know, hurting ourselves when we don't feel like we can open up here.So the first thing is, the person has to be listened to, that self expression needs to be present in the room before anything else can open up.I’m Gin Hammond and I’m Living IncogNegro.
