Singing tips: the jaw
Among other parts of your body that are used when singing, the jaw is not the first one we usually think about. It's usually when not working properly that we become conscious of how important it is. Indeed, when stressed or under pressure, like before starting a karaoke or on stage for a concert, we can feel the resistance due to the tension in our muscles. As well as a tight throat, tight jaw becomes an obstacle for the diffusion of the sound.
A great attention to your jaw must be provided even before singing. Like a professional athlete, you'll need to warm up and stretch your jaw to get it flexible and get passed the tension. We're not saying you need to be a Jim Carrey, but simple exercises will be enough.
Exercise #1 : let-it-go
The easiest and most natural exercise is to let your jaw go. Open your mouth slowly (don't break anything) and keep your down jaw hanging towards your neck. Your sex-appeal will be reduced to 0 for a while and you will look silly but it will relax your muscles between your jaws. Put one finger on each junction between both jaws and try to feel the whole that just appeared. Keep your fingers on it for about 10 seconds.
Exercise #2 : massaging
Put your index and middle finger at the back of your cheeks, next to your ears. Open your mouth slowly until you feel a small bump in your jaw. Massage your jaw where your fingers are, not too hard though. You should soon feel an urge to yawn. Don't refrain it, yawning means your jaw needs to relax.
Exercise #3 : rest your neck
Put your hands back your head, on your neck, so that you support your head. Release the muscles of your head. Your hands only support your head now. Sing like this, you should feel your jaw relaxing and your singing gain confidence.
Exercise #4 : reading
Talk out loud words containing the long « o » ([o:]). For instance, « rose », « pose », « close », « vote ». You jaw will work in a position that will allow it to relax.
Practice those exercises just before singing, and you should quickly be able to tell the difference and improve your singing.

11 Facts About 9/11
1. On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed, 400 were police officers and firefighters, in the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center in NYC, at the Pentagon building in Washington, D.C., and in a plane crash near Shanksville, PA.
2. 9/11 was not the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. A bombing in February of 1993 killed six people.
3. On any given workday, up to 50,000 employees worked in the WTC twin towers, and an additional 40,000 passed through the complex.
4. The rescue and recovery clean-up of the 1.8 million tons of wreckage from the World Trade Center site took 9 months.
5. Passengers aboard United Flight 93, heard about the previous airplane attacks and attempted to retake control of the plane from hijackers. As a result, the hijackers dilberately crashed the plane in a Pennsylvania field instead of at their unknown target.
6. While video accounts of the WTC attack aired immediately, no video footage of the Pentagon attack was publicly released until 2006.
7. Though both the police and fire departments of New York City had their own emergency response procedures, the two departments did not have a coordinated response plan to a major incident.
8. In 2001, New York City fire evacuation procedures only required mandatory evacuations for floors immediately surrounding a fire. After a plane struck Building 1 of the WTC, Building 2 employees were initially told to stay in the building.
9. 9/11 was the single largest loss of life from a foreign attack on American soil.
10. 18 people were rescued alive from the rubble of the World Trade Center site.
11. Cases of post-traumatic stress are common among 9/11 survivors and rescue workers. Respiratory problems like asthma and lung inflammation also developed at abnormal rates for those in and around the World Trade Center during and after the attacks.
