Hello Songwriters!  

Once you've written a song, you usually want to sing it for your audience -- a part of songcraft that's easy to overlook. Here at Songwork we haven't. This week's featured videos focus on breath work and performance.  
  
In his video, Breathing, Steven Memel demystifies the mechanics of breathing and provides basic exercises to help you relax your body and let your breath and your voice go. In Breaking Patterns, Steven works with Jordan, pointing out subconscious patterns that hold her back, demonstrating his point with stunning "before and after" performances. He explains that unconscious patterns are necessary for getting through our days -- and that we want to nurture patterns that free us up and leave us in good shape.  

Randall Williams' video, Breath and Body, provides another way in to finding dynamic relaxation and groundedness in performance.
