Expression & Performance
Good vocal technique can impress. But it is expression and performance that make the audience listen.
What is expression?
Some call it x-factor. That special attraction where you not only hear a voice, but also feel the person behind it. It may sound inexplicable - but actually much of it can be trained.
A strong expression arises when:
- Lyrics and music work together
- Timbre and phrasing support the message
- The body expresses what the voice conveys
It’s not about “acting”, but about conveying a message. That’s when the expression becomes more genuine and present.
The body as a partner
The audience reads body language just as much as sound. Tension and nervousness can be seen - even when the voice sounds fine on the surface.
That’s why we work with:
- Grounding and posture
- Breathing and relaxation
- Presence and staying in the moment
A free voice requires a free body. When the body works with you, the expression becomes stronger.
Performance can be trained
Stage presence is not innate - it is a skill that can be trained. When you become aware of your body language and your expression, you become both freer as a singer and more present for your audience.
