Are some of these common misconceptions and blatant lies about singing holding you back from being the best singer you can be? (Learn more by reading the full singing lie articles and explanations.)   

Lie – Either you have talent, and thus CAN sing, or you don’t have talent, and can NOT sing.

Truth – Pretty much everybody can talk, and if you can talk then you can sing. This is because the speaking mechanism is the same as the singing mechanism.

Lie – People start out singing all wrong, so they must be taught (or re-taught) EVERYTHING, in order to sing “properly”.

Truth - You MAY be doing SOME things wrong, but if you can speak, you are NOT doing everything wrong. When you speak, you are using the very same tools you need to sing – no more, no less.

Lie – It takes years of instruction and practice to develop a respectable vocal range of almost 2 octaves (that covers only 24 notes on a piano keyboard).

Truth – Our voices were designed to COMFORTABLY manage 3 octaves. This can be learned in as little as 2 hours and perfected over the course of a lifetime.

Lie – A great deal of physical effort is required in order to sing with power and reach high notes.

Truth – Your singing power is less related to the force that you exert that it is a measure of how efficiently you use frequencies and airflow.

Lie – In order to breathe the correct way for singing, you need specialized vocal coaching.

Truth – You were born breathing correctly. You’ve continued to breathe. You breathe in, and speak easily on a regular basis. YOU KNOW HOW TO BREATHE ALREADY!

Lie – If you can sing classical style, you can sing anything.

Truth – If you can sing classical, you may still have LOTS of trouble making a “natural” sounding tone.

Lie – It takes great effort and the coordination of many varied muscles to sing correctly.

Truth – If you are having difficulties right now, chances are, you actually have TOO MANY muscles trying to help! Singing “as designed” is easier than doing it wrong, and gives you more satisfying results.

Lie – Singing is much like law or accounting or any other skill in that it can be educated into someone.

Truth – Singing is extremely personal and is much more than a degree or qualification you earn. Singing has the ability to move and inspire people and is very deeply connected to the soul.
