SING UNTO GOD A NEW SONG

Today, I call your attention to the singing talent which God has blessed so many people with. If this is one of the gifts you have received from God, you have a duty to share it with the world.

You should cultivate it; for the human voice in singing is one of God's entrusted talents to be employed to His glory.

On the other hand, those who do not surrender their will and talents back to God, the enemy of righteousness, make a great account of them in his service. And that which is the gift of God, to be a blessing to souls, is perverted, misapplied, and serves the purpose of Satan to the destruction of many. 

“This talent of singing is a blessing if consecrated to the Lord to serve His cause.  The Bible says, "O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2. Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4. For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods." Psalm 96:1-4. 

As you go through your day today. Take a moment to strengthen your voice by training it.

These are some steps to strengthen your voice. Before you start singing, warm up your voice by breathing deeply, moving your tongue around, and pretending to chew. To strengthen your speaking or singing voice, trill your lips and practice saying tongue twisters. 

HERE ARE SOME VOCAL WARM-UPS FOR SINGERS:

1. Yawning techniques 

The movement of yawning relieves tension in your face, relaxes your voice, and helps improve its range. 

By loosening up your jaw, throat, tongue and facial muscles, you’ll be much less likely to strain your voice. Plus the motion also increases the amount of oxygen to your brain, making you more alert

2. Humming warm-ups 

Humming is one of the best all-round exercises, specifically for stretching your vocal cords without straining them. It can also help to develop and improve your vocal resonance and tone quality, making your overall vocal performance a higher quality. Well, there’s a natural science to it. The vibrations produced by the humming sound actually relaxes your facial muscles and relieves tension that can affect your voice.

3. Make vowel sounds

Creating vowel sounds with your voice can work to improve both your vocal clarity and articulation. Well, it makes sense that having an increased level of control over the shape of your mouth, and tones of your voice, will naturally improve the quality of tone, pitch, vowel shape, and breath control of your singing.

When you form vowel shapes with your face, such as “Do Re - Mi - Fa - So - La - Ti - Do”, it’s essential you’re aware of the right lip, tongue, and jaw position.

Song of the day: "Isn't that why He Came, sung by Edrene Malcolm is a blessing and timing.
