Sing through your eyes!
Aiming for notes by singing through your mask is the most effective way to sing confidently, carefully, and in tune! Every note in your voice has it’s own place in your face that allows you to have complete control of your voice. Therefore, always be aware of how it “feels” in your body when you sing each note. If it hurts to sing, take a break, and readjust until you feel comfortable to join back in. Lastly, don’t forget to take a deep breath in between each key change ascending, and descending. Enjoy!
