A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 7am - Wake Up and Get Ready for the Day This can vary day-to-day depending on workload (and whether I’ve had a late night!) but ideally I try to stick to a regularly schedule. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/413b6aba-45c0-4788-a595-f100a503dfe3/image-asset.jpg Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 7:30am - Coffee Very much a guilty pleasure, I find the morning ritual of making coffee to be relaxing, and it gives me the time to think about what I want to achieve for the day before I get down to work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/8aec3a73-9f0b-48bb-a1a7-cee1eb1b3e67/Vocal-Coach-Admin.jpg Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 8am - Admin Work This work varies considerably day-to-day - it could be following up with new clients, typing up lesson notes from the previous day, or working on my website to name just a few. Today, it’s editing a self-tape for an upcoming audition (and writing this article!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/2ca4e74d-c5bc-4db4-a255-c94739691be2/IMG_0275.jpg Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 11am - Singing Practice It’s really important for me to keep my voice to good condition, both for performing and teaching. I aim to practice for at least 30 minutes every day, even if it’s just running through some warm-up exercises and stretches. Learning to sing is a marathon, not a sprint, and practicing little and often is a great way to strengthen your voice over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/a9838a3e-02bf-48ba-9927-94a370d92746/Suffolk-Countryside.jpg Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 12pm - Go For a Walk After being in my office for a few hours, I need to get some fresh air and clear my head. This gives me time to reflect on what I’ve managed to do so far, and reassess my plans for the afternoon if need be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/780db83a-0250-4393-bbee-a1e07ea65c32/IMG_0318.jpg Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 1pm - Lunch Break In my lunch break, I try my best to switch off from work completely and have some downtime, whether that be watching some TV, listening to a podcast or chatting to a friend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/06c615fc-1a90-46fc-843f-06efb021394f/IMG_0321-min.JPG Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 1:30pm - Employed Work While freelancing is often associated with being self-employed, many freelancers also engage in part-time employed work to supplement their income or develop useful skills. I work part-time for a local church’s music department, and today will be typesetting a programme for an upcoming concert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/d8cf2f8d-23ea-492e-a007-359c8164c047/Singing-Teaching-Ipswich.jpg Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 3pm - Teaching This is by far the largest portion of my day today, but again this can vary hugely throughout the week. Today, I am teaching 1-to-1 singing lessons at a local music school, and will see around 8-10 students over the next few hours. This is one of my favourite parts of my working week - as well as the enjoyment I get from seeing my students succeed, this time also provides a social aspect to my day that I greatly appreciate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/2f1f030d-519a-4494-bcec-64c051ddf753/Dinner.jpg Blog - A Day In The Life of a Freelance Musician - 7:30pm - Dinner & Relax After a hard day’s work, I come home for dinner and a relaxing evening. On a rainy day like today, that entails brewing up some mulled cider and settling down for a film night! https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/how-to-ace-singing-auditions monthly 0.5 2023-11-14 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/vocal-coach-vs-singing-teacher-suffolk monthly 0.5 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/bff4c864-a207-4b7e-8b26-5b185cc7f3e6/VocalCoach-vs-SingingTeacher.jpg Blog - Vocal Coach vs. Singing Teacher - Is There a Difference? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/singing-warm-ups-where-to-start monthly 0.5 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/1696843792105-22SCRCCKD8A6FP1F88XV/SingingWarmUps.jpg Blog - Singing Warm-Ups - Where to Start? https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/vocal-techniques-explained monthly 0.5 2023-11-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/b7d61bd8-f62e-4aab-9c6e-0fcf9c9ba144/madison-lavern-4gcqRf3-f2I-unsplash.jpg Blog - Unlock Your Potential - 7 Vocal Essentials for All Singers - Breath Control Breath control is absolute foundation of all healthy singing, and gaining mastery should be your first priority as a beginner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/fa75397a-6e6a-4a53-8d34-235bc6696809/obie-fernandez-uDAr4KFKY40-unsplash.jpg Blog - Unlock Your Potential - 7 Vocal Essentials for All Singers - Pitch and Range Understanding of your vocal range and an ability to pitch notes are crucial to your success as a singer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/a40ee513-bcd8-41de-aa5c-d917f5bbd334/pawel-czerwinski-eybM9n4yrpE-unsplash.jpg Blog - Unlock Your Potential - 7 Vocal Essentials for All Singers - Vibrato Vibrato can add a beautiful, rich and natural sound to your singing.

Find A Qualified Vocal Coach While it is completely possible to teach yourself to sing, it can often be difficult to stay motivated and hold yourself accountable when it comes to regular practice. The most effective ways to kickstart your singing journey is by working with a singing teacher. As a professional vocal coach, I can assess your current skill level, provide personalized lessons, and help you progress at your own pace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/7638e3a5-0989-4e12-8c46-5d842dfaf28e/rachel-loughman-EjmcT09e3Jg-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 9. Practice Regularly Consistent practice is key to improving your singing abilities. Little and often is the key - dedicate some time each day to vocal exercises, scales, and songs that challenge and expand your vocal range. If you feel your voice tiring, stop - there is always tomorrow! See my ‘Productive Singing Practice Guide’ (Coming Soon!) for tips. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/769dcd97-e21e-4064-84d3-e4a673334d2b/artem-beliaikin-Q-uj9m22uug-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 8. Warm Up (Yes, Every Time!) Just like any other muscle, your vocal cords need a proper warm-up before you use them. Your voice is your instrument, and it must be treated with care and respect - though it can be tempting to skip to the fun part (the song), gentle humming, lip trills, and stretches can prevent strain and greatly enhance your singing performance. For more on this, see Singing Warm-Ups - Where To Start? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/ac1c4b7c-616a-447d-80a2-173b63b96c25/vidar-nordli-mathisen-HyEF6_hXBL0-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 7. Understand The Vocal Techniques Take the time to read up and learn about proper breathing techniques, pitch control, and vocal resonance. While it’s easy enough follow an instruction given by your teacher, understanding WHY they are asking you to do it can hugely improve your awareness of your voice and any potential issues you may be facing. See my article Vocal Essentials for All Singers for an in-depth look at vocal technique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/483b17b4-8932-4d33-90a3-1f8dd85bc27d/josh-goddard-oAbkELmATaA-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 6. Choose Appropriate Songs Identify artists you like that have a similar voice to you, and experiment with their songs to boost your confidence and make learning more enjoyable. As you grow in confidence and your voice gets stronger, branch out with songs you find harder and genres you haven’t yet explored. Check out my handy guide to ‘Finding Your Vocal Range (The Easy Way)’ to help you pick your songs. (Coming Soon!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/45cbd371-7cc8-4482-8125-1443d1556ad0/soundtrap-PdO-fDWXQ5I-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 5. Record Yourself (It's Painful, I Know!) Recording and listening back to your singing practice, while sometimes unpleasant, is a hugely useful tool for you to assess your progress, identify areas for improvement, and track your journey over time. Being aware of how your voice sounds to other people is an essential part of being a singer - often it really does sound much better than you think! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/6254b9ca-bd40-40c6-921b-054882b13f63/john-onaeko-8__esxuic9Q-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 4. Join a Choir or Vocal Group Singing with others is a fun and motivating way to grow your confidence, and helps to train your ear to better recognise pitch and harmony. Fellow singers can also provide useful knowledge and advice as you learn. If you haven’t already, consider joining a local group to start building your singing network. For audition advice you can check out my article on How To Ace Singing Auditions. For recommendations of local groups to join please feel free to contact me here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/5c052edb-486f-4081-93cd-54c260bcf5df/bluewater-sweden-4Kd3svPFuEI-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 3. Stay Hydrated! Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining vocal health. Water takes several hours to hit the vocal cords after being absorbed into the bloodstream, so drink plenty of water through the day (not just when you practice!) to keep your vocal cords lubricated. Caffeine, alcohol and diary products can all have a negative effect on the voice, so try to avoid these prior to singing to get the best out of your voice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/88690d3e-0870-4a02-863c-3a23fc1a0f72/krakenimages-8RXmc8pLX_I-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 2. Make Mistakes (and Lots of Them!) Mistakes are a singer’s best friend - make them as loudly and confidently as possible. Go for broke when trying to hit that high note or nail that tricky riff - after all, what’s the worst that can happen? Being comfortable making a big and sometimes imperfect sound is the first step to unlocking vocal freedom. Psychology is an enormous part in singing well - if you believe you can do it, the chances are you can! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/20552aed-2986-46cc-ab4b-8c91d42fc0ad/ksenia-makagonova-V-TIPBoC_2M-unsplash.jpg Blog - 10 Tips On Learning to Sing as an Adult - Unlock Your Voice Today! - 1. Be Patient, and Persevere! Finally, remember that learning to sing is a journey that requires patience and perseverance - it may take several years for you to fully reach your goals. Celebrate every achievement, no matter how small. Finally hit that high note? Managed to sing that phrase in one breath? Give yourself a pat on the back, and remember that ultimately, you are singing because you love it. https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/category/Top+10+Lists monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/Beginner monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/Guide monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/education monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/festival monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/workshop monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/Adult monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/vocal+health monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/10+Tips monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/blog/tag/Learn+To+Sing monthly 0.5 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/events daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/events/solihull-25 monthly 0.5 2025-04-13 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/events/the-swingles-hampstead-25 monthly 0.5 2025-04-13 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/events/the-swingles-clapham-25 monthly 0.5 2025-04-13 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/events/event-two-cl5kj monthly 0.5 2025-04-13 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/home daily 1.0 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/3bab4129-1c57-48ac-b3b1-14698e933793/Owen+Butcher+-+Headshot+from+The+Swingles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/74517d9d-5d01-4245-8af0-0a9fcc7226c0/IMG_1206.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/cd2ba873-4d21-4365-a9cb-47c9d8cd0265/IMG_0958.PNG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/756de1fc-5f18-40da-aed6-3fe0b8835b39/bva.png https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/bookings daily 0.75 2023-01-04 https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/35ac29d4-6ecb-493f-8397-07e63586d93e/The+Swingles25+-1009.jpg https://www.owenbutcher.co.uk/media/gallery daily 0.75 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/6f9dc5ca-224a-48cc-b6ce-25eb73c970ff/The+Swingles25+-655.jpg Gallery A recent formal headshot of Owen in concert blacks, courtesy of Andy Porter Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/6de1a29e-b62d-4fe0-8170-1423aec2803b/IMG_1643.JPG Gallery Wide-shot of Owen performing with The Swingles in Hannover, Germany https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/964bca7e-c462-48ce-91ab-d3879486bd43/IMG_1647.jpg Gallery Owen in concert with The Swingles - 3 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/90ce207a-d3f6-46c5-b929-ff56338dbd83/The+Swingles25+-1009.jpg Gallery A recent casual headshot of Owen on a sofa, courtesy of Andy Porter Music Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/635e8e0aac5a872e58eb6ddf/b079edc9-1fd0-453e-aaa5-c2671b516775/SS24.NED_1681%2BLR.jpg Gallery Owen is one of the seven members of Grammy award-winning vocal ensemble The Swingles.
