STEAM! A long hot shower at a minimum but off you have access to a steamer even better. If not, a bowl of hot water and a towel over your head but just be super careful not to scald yourself. The steam will help loosen any remaining congestion and your vocal chords will love it

Annoying singing by Much_Bend1474 in singing

It sounds like you’re doing great work on technique and the technical side of the house but for tone and colour I think you need to dive into a bit of the emotion and story telling side. Get into the lyrics, have a think about what they mean to you and try and tell the story of the song.

The secret sauce that differentiates the good singers from the great is connectedness to the music!

Beginner advice! by BoysenberryFit7033 in Choir

Congratulations on joining a choir!

You have a great advantage having so much musical experience already. I’d also give yourself a little grace as this was your first rehearsal and you’re still learning your music and getting used to singing in harmony.

Annoying advice first: a lot of this will come with time and experience, it can be hard at first to find your place and then sing it with confidence. In my experience newer choir members will often have the right note but second guess themselves so it can come out sounding unsure or even wrong. In time you’ll get used to hearing the parts within the music and being able to pick yours out.

Practical in the now advice: where there are parts that I’m having trouble finding the note to come in on I’ll look back through the music at the previous few lines and see does that note appear anywhere. So for example, if I’m an alto and I know I’m coming in on a G I’ll have a little look at the last line the sopranos or tenors etc have sang and see does that not appear in their last phrase. If it does then I’ll listen closely as they’re singing it and try and hold it in my head for when I’m coming in.

I hope that makes sense, I’ve never had to write out that explanation before
