Vocal clarity is all about making your voice sound clean, expressive, and easy to understand. It starts with strong articulation and enunciation—making sure each word is crisp and pronounced clearly. Breath support, especially from the diaphragm, helps maintain vocal strength and steadiness so your voice doesn’t fade or waver.

Resonance is another big piece of the puzzle. Using different areas like your chest, nasal passages, or head for tone placement can give your voice richness and projection. To keep your sound open and flexible, it's essential to release tension in your jaw, tongue, and lips. Gentle warm-ups and stretches can help with that.

Pitch control and expressive intonation ensure your voice doesn’t sound monotone or dull. Along with that, pacing and rhythm make a huge difference—speaking or singing with intention, and not too fast, helps your audience catch every word.

If you're using a microphone, knowing how to position yourself and control your volume makes a big difference. And of course, the secret ingredient to all of this is consistent practice. Recording yourself, getting feedback, or even working with a coach (me) can help you refine your sound over time.

With both a European and Asian side, Istanbul really is where East and West meet. Here are some of the city's top tourist attractions.

Sultanahmet
Many of Istanbul's most famous buildings are in Sultanahmet on the European side. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful Blue Mosque, built by Sultan Ahmet I in the 17th century. Or they can take a trip to the city's past in the Hagia Sophia — which has been both a Christian church and a mosque before being made into a museum.

Spice Bazaar
While the Grand Bazaar is the most famous Istanbul market, the Spice Bazaar offers a more fun and colorful shopping experience. Almost any spice can be found in the Spice Bazaar, as well as Turkish candies — and the shops will let you try a little bit of everything!



Kadiköy
The Kadiköy neighborhood on Istanbul's Asian side is popular with young people for its pubs, cafes and music venues. Chat with artists and writers in the tea garden of the Nâzım Hikmet Cultural Center, which celebrates the life of one of Turkey's most famous poets. After that, shop for antiques on Tellalzade Street.



The Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is between Istanbul's two sides. There are many Bosphorus boat tours to choose from, including ones with meals and entertainment. For the best price, take one of the city's public boats — tickets cost less than $1, and they offer the same sights.



Food
Istanbul is famous for its food. Enjoy some meze — many small plates of food — with fish and the local spirit, raki. Or buy a simit — a round bread covered in seeds — from the street sellers. Don't forget to try a cup of Turkish coffee or a glass of black tea with lots of sugar.
