In my article "10 Early Warning Signs..." I explained the early warning signs of vocal damage.

This article explains how to easily prevent vocal damage.

3 John 1:2 “My dear friend, I pray that everything may go well with you and that you may be in good health—as I know you are well in spirit.”


Vocal damage can creep up on you unawares, especially if you are not in tune with your voice and it's natural abilities.  In all the belting, runs, riffs, distortion and high notes, you may not have noticed that your vocals are subtly changing, ie tone has changed or range has dropped. 

We are inspired by the Bible where it says: 

​There are a number of reasons why you might, as a worship leader, decide to take vocal lessons. If you are thinking about taking lessons but not sure if it is worth the investment of your time and money, here are 16 benefits of singing lessons. In no particular order lessons....

So Christmas is a few days away and worship leaders are gearing up for extra church services that always occur this time of the year.  My church has an extra 3 services PLUS 3 carol singing sessions. For many churches there can be DOUBLE that depending how big the church is. 

So I've been thinking about the best items I need to have to hand to get through the next 2 weeks.

The items need to be:
- handy and be able to fit in my pocket or handbag.
- accessible and does not need any technical expertise; simple to use and store

With these pre-requisites in mind these are the 7 items in my Christmas Vocal Toolkit
