Happy MLK Day!

Happy Monday! Today, we acknowledge and honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was one of the greatest leaders of all time who fought for equity for all. He showed the world that one person can make a difference!

Rest in Peace: Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin - The Queen of Soul

Rest in Peace: I am heartbroken to hear the news that we lost the beautiful Aretha Franklin recently.

I can tell you the impact she's had on my life as a singer is tremendous. I can remember in college when I was a voice major singing Aretha's songs in the practice room when I should have been singing opera. Driving my fellow musicians crazy but making my soul happy.

She paved the way for so many singers throughout the years. She was a true diva in every sense of the word!  Aretha's music will live on and inspire generations to come.

This is a devastating loss but I'm so glad she's at peace now. Her beautiful voice lives on to give us comfort. My thoughts and prayers are with her loved ones and fans.

Singing Tips by Benita Charles Music - Tip #35

Your Image: Communications (Your Message)

Your message is your intentions of your music to the world. It's your legacy.


** I believe as artists, we are put here for a reason: to touch the world and make it a better place through our music. Each artist has a unique gift and message.

**Benita Charles' message: To make music and entertainment that ignite passion in people to change the world. How do they change the world? They change the world by being who they are meant to be (their greatest selves) and by sharing their gifts to the world. (This is why I encourage everyone in the broadcast to live their dreams.)


3 Ways to Communicate Your Message


Today, we discussed how to communicate your message (your legacy) to the world.  

1) Identify your Message

• You must be clear on your intention and what you'd like to communicate to your fans.
• My message: A singer who brings joy and inspire her audience to live their dreams.

 2) Incorporate your message in everything you do

• Whether you are singing, releasing new music or speaking to an audience, your message should always be in the forefront of what you do.
• For example, my original songs incorporate my message of inspiring my audience: We Can Make A Difference, The Freedom Song and Can I touch You There. My daily social media posts are always, inspirational, encouraging and empowering.

3) Share your message to the world

• Continually create new music, books, blogs, motivational speeches and music services.
  
• Write your autobiography (share your musical journey, experience and your life). You never know who will be changed by your life.

As Minister Angela Williams (special guest and expert on the Singing Tips with Benita Charles show #19, Oct 10, 2016) "Someone is waiting on your message!" -- Dr. Angela Williams. Your message just maybe what someone needs to hear to carry them through life!

Best wishes to you as you take your voice to the next level!

Much love,

Benita Charles Music
