Hello Krb-wg-archive -

If your reading this you probably have a passion. A passion for singing just like I do.

Pardon my french; But I could not sing for "crap" up until about a month ago my friend showed me this: It's funny that people think I have been singing my whole life :)

I was shocked to find out that I can actually hit my notes now. Truth is, many people think you need to be born with a singing talent. That is not true.

Thanks

I loved to sing I knew I was never "good". I think most of us can say that...
Here are some other singing-tips I gathered for you.

Thanks for having a look

Since breathing is something we can control and regulate, it is a useful tool for achieving a relaxed and clear state of mind. I recommend three breathing exercises to help relax and reduce stress: The Stimulating Breath, The 4-7-8 Breathing Exercise (also called the Relaxing Breath), and Breath Counting. Try each and see how they affect your stress and anxiety levels.

The Stimulating Breath (also called the Bellows Breath)
The Stimulating Breath is adapted from a yogic breathing technique. Its aim is to raise vital energy and increase alertness.

Inhale and exhale rapidly through your nose, keeping your mouth closed but relaxed. Your breaths in and out should be equal in duration, but as short as possible. This is a noisy breathing exercise.

Try for three in-and-out breath cycles per second. This produces a quick movement of the diaphragm, suggesting a bellows. Breathe normally after each cycle.
Do not do for more than 15 seconds on your first try. Each time you practice the Stimulating Breath, you can increase your time by five seconds or so, until you reach a full minute.

if a.count > 0 {
    // use a[0]
}
// outside the block, no guarantee
// a[0] is valid

if let firstElement = a.first {
    // use firstElement
}
// outside the block, you _can't_
// use firstElement
