GREATEST SINGERS SERIES: PART 3: IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT SINGING INTO THE MICROPHONE '
<p>So what if I didn't win? I learnt a lot throughout the journey, from the vocal trainings to singing on 'the big stage' it was all a wonderful experience. I met some amazing people, made some new friends and had the chance to speak with some few guests that where in attendance. (I can't recall most of their names) If there was one thing I picked throughout the entrancing experience it'd be this. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT SINGING INTO THE MICROPHONE. ‎</p><p>‎During the period of unlearning to learn, I figured out something. Although as a singer singing to an audience, most a times a microphone is required especially when it comes to a large amount of crowd or depending on the situation. The microphone projects the sound released from the mouth when singing so the singer can be heard...but do you all know it's not really about "oh let me sing into the mic and go?" </p><p>‎The singer follows certain procedures to sound good. From singing in accordance to the key played on the keyboard/piano, listening to the metronome while singing, knowing the lyrics off-hand, in most cases listening to their backup singers, their body language, facial expressions and while still trying to carry their audience along.</p><p>‎Before we move further, while reading the above paragraph you came across a word 'metronome' and you might be asking what is metronome?</p><p>‎'Metronome' is a device that helps musicians/singers maintain a steady tempo either while practicing or singing. Every singer has to follow the metronome in whichever song they choose to sing to avoid speeding up or slowing down unintentionally. It also improves the rhythm and timing (very very very important).</p><p>‎In most cases, especially in churches or live performances a drum is used to produce a metronome but in cases like a studio session, a digital (standalone eletronical devices) are used. ‎</p><p>‎Aside from staying in tune with the instrumentalist, the singer needs to connect with their audience. For example in a church setting when the choristers are ministering, the lead singer Ad-libs and in the process of ad-libbing, the next part of the song can grow wings and fly away making the person leading the song (lead singer) to forget the next part. God so help that person that the instrumentalist, backup singers or even the congregation sings the next part. </p><p>‎So when next you see a person performing or ministering, appreciate them. Most singers practice for hours. Hours of stretching their vocal cords, hours of trying to own the song and perfecting it. There is a lot the person standing before you singing has at the back of their mind. A lot to remember and keep up with while trying to carry the audience along. Kindly keep that in mind.</p><p>‎So when next you see a person standing before you singing, appreciate them and their efforts. (E no easy) Singing is not beans and bread. </p><p>‎</p><p>‎Let's end it here for now and I can't wait to see you in the next part. 'OUR POSTURE '</p><p>‎</p>
