    If you don't sit around a drum and sing a lot, you'll never last the duration. Now, Do you really know how to sing? I'm not talking a great or even good voice here. I'm talking about proper breathing skills for singing, and moving air from the diaphram. If you can't move the air properly, You'll never last.

    I do a lot of recording of Native drums both northern and southern. I also see a lot of singers peter out only after a few song. These guys have put all they have into those few songs. There done after that until later in the day. The reason is that they push out too much air when they sing. They actually go into a form of oxygen deprovation (out of breath). Then I have seen some who can put out the tunes all day, then do a 49 all night. Why???? Proper air control.
    Don't ask me what I think about something unless you want a truthful anwser. It may not be the anwser you are looking for.

      What happens when you can't "sky" like you use to?
      by LSS
      Well, I've noticed this happening to me as of late and I'm not too sure why. The singing itself is stronger, but I just can't hit too many high notes nor hold them for too long. Do you other "seasoned" singers out there see this as a thing of "maturation" or maybe there are other...

      Is there a difference?
      by LSS
      With the present day emergence of "Drum Groups", do any of you guys notice a difference in the way people sing?

      What I'm getting at is when I'm sitting at the "Center Drum" I've noticed a good number of people not singing hard, or at least so it seems! I know with...

      by ScarFace

There may be some exceptions but that just adds to the contest. Now I don't want to hear from you winer's about how "real powwow singing...
