" Endurance is gained by systematic and incremental practice." --wabotte
I missed the original posting or question on this, BUT a gradual building of
endurance is not the whole story on endurance.
Another part of endurance is a singing & relaxed approach. If you practice
with tight lips, your not going to have any endurance at all but if you work
on resonance of sound an easy air flow and singing style then your endurance
will increase.
Another part of endurance is in your thoughts. I find it detrimental to a
great performance to ever think about anything but the current moment. If I
think something like “wow, I haven’t missed any notes yet” I am bound to
miss a note soon after that thought!
