But I Don't Want to Practice!
What do you do when you aren’t feeling inspired to practice? It happens to the best of us. What do you do when you don’t have any deadlines, events, or auditions in the near future to practice for? You still want to practice and improve, but getting started is just plain hard sometimes. Here are a few suggestions of places to start:
Sing a song that brings you joy! It could be from a show you did 3 years ago, it could be a pop song you listened to on repeat when you were 7, it could be a song that was written for a gender that you don’t identify as. There are no rules! Start there and see what rabbit hole that leads you down.
Set a timer for 25 minutes. once you have completed 25 minutes of focused practice, you can take a 5 minute break and set another timer for 25 more minutes of practice if you're feeling inspired to do so (a.k.a the Pomodoro Technique)
Vocalize for 15 minutes and see if the act of vocalizing leads you to a desire or curiosity to sing something else!
Do you have boundaries established with the people you live with? Do you know when they need quiet to get their work done? Do they know when you need privacy to practice?
What ways have you found to nudge yourself forward into practice when feeling uninspired?
