EMBRACE FEEDBACK
Singing is a deeply personal and emotional experience. Whether you sing for fun, in a choir, or as a professional, receiving feedback can feel intimidating. But feedback is one of the most powerful tools for growth. Learning to embrace it with an open mind can transform your voice and confidence.
Shift Your Mindset: Feedback is a Gift
I love the statement “feedback is a gift,” instead of seeing feedback as criticism, view it as a gift for improvement. Even professional singers work with vocal coaches and mentors to refine their skills. Every note of advice brings you one step closer to mastering your voice.
Separate Yourself from the Feedback
It’s easy to take feedback personally, especially when singing is so connected to emotions. Remember, feedback is about your technique and performance, not your worth as a singer. Learning to detach from feedback helps you focus on growth rather than self-doubt.
Seek Constructive Feedback
Not all feedback is created equal. Choose mentors, coaches, or fellow singers who offer helpful, actionable advice. Good feedback should be specific, encouraging, and offer solutions rather than just pointing out flaws/
Ask the Right Questions
If someone gives vague feedback like “it sounded off,” ask for clarity:
- What part sounded off – pitch, tone or rhythm?
- How can I improve it?
- Can you give an example of how it should sound?
By engaging in the feedback process, you gain insights that help refine your singing.
Record and Review Yourself
Sometimes, feedback makes more sense when you hear yourself. Recording your practice sessions allows you to listen objectively and track progress over time. Compare your recordings before and after applying feedback to hear the improvement.
Develop a Growth Mindset
Instead of thinking, I’m just not a good singer, shift your mindset to “I am always learning and improving.” Growth takes time, and every piece of feedback is a stepping stone toward your best voice.
Final Thoughts
Embracing feedback isn’t always easy, but it’s essential for growth. By shifting your perspective, seeking constructive advice, and staying open to improvement, you’ll become a stronger, more confident singer. So take that feedback, apply it, and keep singing your heart out!
