Singing is harder than it should be? You’re not imagining things — your body might be getting in the way.

In this video, I share a simple posture and energy shift I call “The Tall Animal” — helps unlock your breath, resonance, and ease right away. Inspired by a trip to the zoo with a gaggle of sweaty kindergartners, this adjustment helps align your body’s natural movement with your singing.

✅ You’ll learn:
How your knees, pelvis, ribs, and head affect your breath
What common posture cues like “relax” or “support” might be messing up
How to embody animal energy (like a giraffe!🦒) to find flow

If you’re new to my channel, my name’s Dan Callaway. I teach musical theatre voice and vocal pedagogy at Boston Conservatory at Berklee. I’ve performed on Equity stages for over 25 years, helped music theatre performers work sustainably on Broadway, national tours, and at top regional houses. I’ve taught at top music theatre programs for over 10 years (Elon University, and BoCo). I help music theatre singers build skill, gain confidence, and get to work.

If you’re a singer who likes to tell stories, and you want to do that in a satisfying, wholehearted way, you’ve landed in the right place.

I make videos knowing that if I help one person learn a game changing skill, carry away a helpful tool, or hear something that makes their life better, then it’s worth it. I hope this helped you today.
