The discovery of a new tool


Hi everyone!

I tried something quite unusual today. I practiced singing and Kung Fu at the same time.
I've been training Kung Fu with a Chinese master for about a year now. It's not only a great way to balance the music, I've also realized it has a lot in common with singing. Both my Kung Fu trainer and singing coach always point out how I should relax my shoulders, use less muscle power, keep the chest out etc.

I usually focus mostly on the feeling in the song and sometimes, when I practice alone, I forget to pay attention to the position of my body. When it comes to Kung Fu it's the complete opposite.

The result really suprised me and it will deffinately not be the last time I sing in a Kung Fu pose, not on the stage though. My voice got really clear and much stronger and I reached tones I never reached before. I can't belive I didn't come up with the idea earlier.

Cheers,
