027: Tim Seelig about Healthy Singing Habits and Finding More Ease

Doesn't every singer want to find more ease in their voice? That's definitely always been my goal, and I always keep working on getting closer to tha ultimate ease with just the right amount of tension in exactly the right places, so my tones just float out of my mouth.

Dr. Tim Seelig isn't only one of the most knowledgable voice teachers and choir directors I have ever met, he is also very approachable and always happy to help other singers who have a genuine interest in finding their natural voice.

His calmness in directing a choir always impressed me, and I believe, as singers we should all learn to find that calmness that grounds us and helps us keep our voices fresh and plyable. That's also the prerequisite for a healthy voice that will continue to sound beautiful for many years to come.

Dr. Gould's Gargle recipe:

Inhale steam for 2-3 minutes before using the gargle. Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon clear Karo Syrup, and 6 oz. of warm water. Gargle and don't eat or dring for 20-30 minutes after gargling.
