Hello đ
Itâs crazy how much the tongue always wants to get involved when itâs actually making it harder to sing that wayâŠ
I know, itâs only trying to helpâŠ
But dear tongue, youâre not helping đ
Please chill out!
I knew the tongue was retracting when I heard some of those Shakira undertones in VTS student @shreyaplaya âs voice
Here are some of my favorite ways to release tongue tension
đ Â Sticking it out and biting on it
đ Â Reverse tongue tension (pushing it far out of your open mouth)
đ Â Tongue stretches with a paper towel
đ Â Skewer or pencil under the tongue
Do you also have some tongue tension?
If youâre not sure, letâs set up a session so that I can hear you sing and see what exactly is going on and give you tools and exercises to solve your challenges!

I canât wait to sing with you!
