Jaw tension when you sing can wreck your high notes, tire you out fast, and make every song feel like a fight. In this video, VoxTape head coach Emily shows you a quick, weirdly simple way to release it: the "boring face." You'll get the exercise, watch it fix a VTS student's high note live, and get one thing you can try on your own song right now.
Here's the idea: we always want singing to feel fun and expressive — but a big, smiley, "I'm loving this" face contracts everything and cranks up jaw tension. Letting your face go genuinely *bored* releases the jaw, opens up airflow, and lets the note fly out without the strain. Watch what happens when Desiree drops the effort on a note she was muscling through.
