" 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!
