It won’t make a difference if you are the most elite vocalist in the world – if the audience cannot hear your voice. When it comes to developing a stronger singing voice, remember that true singing power originates from the lungs and is not affected by the throat or mouth. That’s why we always emphasize that strong singing does not involve yelling. Yelling excessively can actually harm the voice box and throat, instead of utilizing the lungs and diaphragm properly for a strong singing voice.

The language used may be unfamiliar to many, but it carries a sense of something ancient, deep, and profoundly meaningful. Hymns can be simple yet evoke vivid imagery, emotion, and reflection.
The fundamental purpose of a hymn is to convey God’s attributes and His relationship with humanity. Hymns are often sung directly to God or to Jesus. They offer praise and exaltation to Him.
Hymns were not always accompanied by music. In fact, until relatively recently, hymn verses were separated from the melody, and the music was indicated with a side note.
Over time, hymns … ...Read the rest.
