Francesco Mecorio
Have you ever noticed that singing the same musical phrase with different words can suddenly become easier or harder? This happens because vowels and consonants can affect projection, range, breath, color and much more. A mindful practical work on awareness and technical production of different vowels and consonants can minimize their impact on voice production and can make us understand how we can use the lyrics of a song for a better performance.

By engaging in mindful, practical work focused on the awareness and technical production of different vowels and consonants, singers can learn to minimize the challenges these elements may present. This involves developing a deeper understanding of how each sound is formed, how it interacts with your vocal mechanism, and how to adjust your technique to maintain vocal consistency regardless of the lyrics.
Through this mindful approach, you can harness the power of diction to enhance your performance. You'll discover how to use the lyrics of a song not just as a vehicle for the melody, but as a tool to optimize your vocal production. By mastering the art of mindful diction, you'll be able to sing with greater ease, precision, and emotional impact, making your performances more compelling and authentic.
