Singing with Correct Posture

Correct posture in singing is a vitally important component of efficient vocal production. If you have bad posture, it can significantly affect the quality of your sound. 

Correct posture in singing starts with your feet. Your feet should line up with the width of your shoulders. In order to get a sense of grounding, your knees should be slightly bent and not locked back. Your shoulders should be back and your head should be rotated up and back, as if someone is tugging on the hair at the back of your head.

When you slouch your shoulders and have your head forward, it tends to kink your neck, negatively impacting your vocal posture.

When you have your shoulders back and your head rotated back and up, it gets rid of that kink. This is the optimal posture for singing and it is conducive to efficient vocal production.

Obviously, good posture isn't the only component of good vocal technique, but with out it, it is impossible for all of the components of your voice to function properly. 

Observe in your life how your daily activities affect your posture, like sitting on the couch looking at your phone, working at your desk or watching TV. ​
