It’s not about every rep or note being perfect, it’s about functional movement and the proper use of the muscle chains. Managing dynamic range is a skill set. Sometimes when I knee the bag, I’ll set a 3 min timer and work to keep each knee in the best form. Sometimes I will go for 30-50 reps with more explosive power. Control is indicative of skill. On the voice as a muscle: sometimes it’s written communication, sometimes it’s listening (yes hearing is part of the vocal chain). Sometimes it’s soft speaky type pop vocals and sometimes it’s full tilt rock vox. My guitarist said (and I agree): you are only as strong as the weakest link in your signal chain. ⛓️‍💥 This can be said for muscle chains as well. 👄 🎤 🎛️🎚️🙌 At a live show, if there is an in-house sound engineer.. I do consider them to be part of my vocal chain. Sometimes they are a strong link and sometimes I realize quickly that they are the weakest link. In that case, I have to rely on the strength of the chain I have built to carry me through a 3 hour performance. It does tax my voice tho, prompting this reflective post after my performance yesterday. #reflections #muaythai #girl #chain #vocals
