O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O komm, O komm Emmanuel
Du Himmelskind, Du wahres Licht der Welt
Komm tritt in unsere Mitte ein
Und führ‘ uns auf des Lichtes Bahn
Alleluja, O Christenheit
Gelobt sei Gott in Ewigkeit.
Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel!
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio,
Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We’re happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
While we stroll along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
We’ll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say, are you married?
We’ll say, no man
But you can do the job when you’re in town
Later on, we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow, we can build a snowman
We’ll pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say, are you married?
We’ll say, no man
But you can do the job when you’re in town
Later on, we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
He’s making a list
And checking it twice
Gonna find out
Who’s naughty or nice
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
He sees you when you’re sleeping
He knows when you’re awake
He knows if you’ve been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
So you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Santa Claus is comin’ to town
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
Everyone knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Will help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

Begin with asking yourself the following questions concerning the
content of the Song you have chosen:
Who (am I)
Whom (am I talking to)
Where (am I )
What (am I saying)
Why (am I saying it)
When you have answered the questions above,
then proceed to establishing an „Opening Line“ which will motivate and trigger you
to jump-start you into the role and setting of your song.
This could be a one-liner, a question, something provocativ,
kind of like a neon sign rocketing you into the „space“ you have created.
Enjoy!

In order to feel support at the solar plexus, place one hand on the solar
plexus and the other on your abdomen around the navel. When exhaling, the areas
underneath your hands normally flatten and when inhaling they normally expand. When
using support the upper bulge at the solar plexus MUST come out, while the lower bulge at
the abdomen around the navel MUST go in. If at first it is difficult practise slowly,
exaggerating the hold of each of the bulges until it becomes a familiar rocking-like
movement. Be careful not to lock at any time – it mus be a continuous movement.
Singing on pitch is a „No pressure affair!
A.)
Practise „hearing awareness“ and learn to recognise and sing intervals
B.)
Practise singing a note on „oo“ and finding it on the piano…
then do the opposite and sing the note after playing it on the piano,
matching the pitches „spot on!“
C.)
Practise singing the notes between the intervals from low to high and vice versa.
D.)
Practise recording your singing and listening with awareness!
E.)
Practise regularily…daily if possible…for short intervals of 15 – 30 Minutes
F.)

you always wanted to know what this means?
When singing with „reduced density“ (CVT) the entire Larynx or thryroid is tilted forward.
Because the vocal folds are attached to the thryroid, the forward movement of the
thryroid results in the vocal folds being stretched without changing the pitch.
This is the thyroid tilt.
Singing with reduced density (a restrained, contained sound character) should be an artistic choice.
The concept of vocal biohacking aims to take the
topic of general well-being to another level – to a holistic form of self-optimization.
Biohacking is often described as trying to create “the best version of yourself” – trying to
program muscle memory to optimize and improve your performance. While it sounds like
something out of Brave New World, it’s actually about self-improvement. There are
numerous ways to incorporate mind and body biohacking methods into everyday life to
improve the qualities or abilities of your voice.
Developing the artist in you means really knowing what your vocal DNA – your superpowers
– can do! This means using vocal techniques to maintain a high level of energy, vitality and
resilience in your sound. Expand your repertoire and discover that there is great freedom to
choose! Experimentation and technical knowledge of the authenticity of different genres
allow you to be more versatile and train your latent skills. The stage calls for your full
identity.
The wonders of vocal biohacking help us fulfill our desire to feel better and stay vocally fit for
as long as possible, dare to be above average and prepare for a long singing career. We all
want to feel and perform at our best, maintaining a high level of energy and vitality in our
sound. This is exactly where vocal biohacking comes in. By using tools and knowing where we
are going, we can achieve optimal vocal health and success on stage. There are many simple
things we can do to biohack our voice to help us feel better and perform at our best. My
Vocal Success Studiooffers you great resources for putting together your own individual
toolbox for: Belcanto can Belto!
What separates biohacking from the “norm“, is arguably not that it is a different type of
activity, but that the activities are carried out with a certain mindset. The underlying
philosophy is that we don’t have to accept our body’s imperfections – we can overcome them
with a variety of vocal solutions. We can now begin our vocal transformation. Vocal
biohacking gives people the opportunity to explore unconventional ideas in a nonhierarchical
environment, transforming a feeling of being outside the norm into a cool
identity. Get a head start on singing with Vocal Biohacking.

Each Mode has a certain character, as well as advantages and limitations. It is important to be
able to change freely between the modes in order to make the most of their advantages
when singing and avoid their limitations, by implementing the 3 overall principals regardless
of the mode.
(1) Nothing is forever in this world, not even our problems
(2) I love walking in the rain because no one can see my tears.
(3) The most lost day in life is the day we don’t laugh.
(4) The six best doctors in the world: the sun / rest / sports / healthy diet / self-esteem / friends.
…keep to them in all phases of your life and enjoy a healthy life.

When YOU see the sun, YOU will see the the power of God.

s not just wishing. It is mentally rehearsing to get what you want.
It is a mindset tool that Artists, Musicians, Singers use to compete
at the highest possible level and achieve their goals – CONCEIV / BELIEVE / ACHIEV.
1.)
Know what you want. Follow your hearts burning desire.
2.)
Visualize what you want.
Visualize yourself doing the work to get the things you want.
Visualize yourself taking the steps to make the things you want a reality.
3.)
Feel it in your body. Research has proven that you stimulate the same regions
in your brain when you visualize and feel yourself performing (an action)
as when you actually do it.
Oympic athletes use this technique to mentally train and perform their very best.
Of course Singers can do the same!

if you sing something over and over again your brain will remember the
action. This is called building up your ‚muscle memory‘,
meaning that the muscles get used to responding in a certain way and
will learn to function automatically in the future.
It is important, therefore, to establish healthy routines.
a „relative“ term.If you achieve what you desire and are happy,
then that is your success!
Achieving personal goals…the accomplishment of an aim or purpose…
being happy with an outcome.
Success is something each one of undefines for himself…
no one can do that for you.
That is the great part of what success is.
You are the only one who can make the decisions in your life
that will determine your success.
You are the only one who knows what you want in life,
so you owe it to yourself to become everything you were meant to be.

holding back the breath which is done by attempting to hold the diaphragm
down which is done by keeping the lower ribs extended and pulling in the abdomen around
the navel and tightening the muscles of the upper back and attempting to curve the lower
back in a continuous movement as though working against a reisitance.
Support means working against the natural urge of the diaphragm to release the air.
This is achieved through an interaction of three muscle groups:
the abdomen, the loin, and the back.
having a vision means we have a clear sense of purpose.
It means we have a much larger picture of business or our life than simply sitting
and reaching short-term goals and tackling problems as they come our way.
Visions are driven by passion and dreams and they are reflected through genuine efforts
and hard work in order to create tangible results!
Once you have your vision your road map starts to become clear.
Nobody is going to drive the car for you.
You need to decide where it is you want to go and then follow your „GPS Plan.
Consistent daily practise is how you make that happen.
Just like watering your plants consistently will help them to grow.
Classically trained singers can sing CCM (Contemporary Commercial
Music). This being said, you don’t have to disgard your technique. Simply start by singing
with more intention with a soft smile or (bite) from east to west (on Vowels A, O and U)
rather than from north to south. „You’re never fully dressed without a smile“ from the
Musical OLIVER describes it perfectly: „…it’s what you wear from ear to ear, and not from
head to toe that matters“. Changing your Sound Color from dark to bright will also give you a
more authentic CCM sound. It is also very important in singing CCM authentically, to reduce
the amount of resonance you allow into your sound. Trick: Resonance Clouds are in the
direction of North and not to the east and west.
Singing is definitely a HIGH PERFORMANCE “sport” and like
all athletes, we singers definitely have to allow ourselves the necessary luxury of a coach!

is one of the best all-around vocal exercises. This technique helps stretch the
vocal cords, relaxes your facial muscles, and improves breathing. Humming also develops
your vocal resonance and tone quality. Just for a change: try humming on “n” instead of “m”
– feel how that resonates above the tongue in the upper cavity of your mouth and at the
same time feel how your vocal tract (made up of the whole mouth cavity, from the vocal
cords to the nasal passages) and throat are open and free.
is a deep breathing technique. It works by distracting your mind as you
count to four, calming your nervous system, and decreasing stress in your body. A simple, but
powerful relaxation technique that can help return your breathing pattern to a relaxed
rhythm. It can clear and calm your mind, improving your focus. Exhale through your mouth to
a count of 4, hold your lungs empty for a count of 4, inhale through your nose to a count of 4,
and hold the air in your lungs for a count of 4 before exhaling and beginning the pattern
anew. Box breathing can reduce stress and improve your mood. That makes it an exceptional
treatment for conditions such as anxiety, panic, performance stress, and Xmas hectic.
drink enough water… take vocal naps… don‘t sing
from your throat… don’t sing if it hurts…build up your muscle memory…establish healthy
routines…avoid uncontrolled throat constrictions…trust your own judgement when
something feels uncomfortable or wrong…CVT teaches us, that technique should
immediately have the intended effect otherwise the training is not being done correctly… do
not confuse taste with tehcnique…make your own artistic choices and decide how you want
them to sound…correct pronunciation of vowels is of utmost importance for our technique to
function properly…if you identify and solve the main problem, many other minor problems
will be solved at the same time… practise with other singers and have fun…
simply vibrate your lips together without pitch, at first.
This will help build up your breath support. Next, add a pitch to your lip buzz, and hold it
anywhere from 3-5 seconds connecting your breath support to your voice placement. Pitch
can go up, down, or stay on one note. If you have trouble making the buzzing sound, you can
place your index fingers on the center of your cheeks to give your lips more “slack.” You can
achieve the same effect by rolling your tongue. This is called a tongue trill.
Mee, May, Mah, Mo, Moo: 11111,1111,54343, 1234,54314 – Start at middle C, and sing the
excercise in Minor chromatics up the scale. Take your time and then choose a tempo in
which you can sing this exercise all in one breath. Focus on your intonation to create the best
vocal sound. Don’t push – sing nice and relaxed. (Credits: C. Porter)
The Siren: Think of the sound of a fire engine passing by, and imitate it with your voice. Start
at the lowest note in your range, and slide through every note to the top of your range and
back down again on whichever vowel you prefer.
Once you get in the habit, you’ll love the freedom and flexibility of a brushed-up voice.
