AYO VINCENT @ YOUTH CONNECT SEASON ONE


There's a question I would like us to deal with. Does Parental advice play any role in making a lasting impact in the world?

It's a loaded question and my first answer would be yes!! However the impact could be either positive or negative depending on the kind of parents, the quality of advice they give and most importantly the kind of examples they show their children. Do as I say alone doesn't cut it. God is a glorious example of a Father who not only taught us how to live by giving us verbal instructions, He also showed and continually shows us how.

Mapule Rantlha (one of our participants from South Africa) asked a question;
Ma how does one prevent straining his/her voice when singing for church services...say for instance the choir is made up of a few number of people and members are new in the ministry and it is required of you to lead most of the songs during services. Thank you so much for the opportunity to ask this question

Ayo Vincent's Response:

Dear Mapule Rantlha I won't deceive you. You cannot sing consistently without some level of strain to your vocal chords. You will have to learn a couple of things. Avoid the tendency to shout, push from your diaphragm when you need to project rather than your chest/ throat. Avoid talking too much especially when you are about to sing because talking loudly strains d voice a lot more. Also you need to know what works for you and what doesn't . Eg cold drinks/ice doesn't work for me so I avoid it. Drink lots of warm water and rest your voice whenever you can.
