THE RULES

As a singer, your voice is not just the instrument, YOU are the instrument. The better you feel not only technically, but also physically and mentally, the more capable you are of giving a great performance. I 'borrowed' most of these rules from the Broadway Dance Centre's famous "Full-Voice Challenge" and tailored it suit my own needs and requirements in order to push myself towards becoming not only a more skilled and confident performer, but also a happier and healthier person.
