SINGERS IN THE TIME OF COVID-19: How To Stay Sane While Everything Is Going A Little Nuts

By Arden Kaywin | March 17, 2020

Here’s a little hope and help for performers during Covid-19. The pandemic is obviously top of mind for everyone right now, and it’s affecting each of us in different ways. Today I wanted to bring you some of the training I do with the singers in my Intensive Program because the same ideas can be really helpful to center yourself amid Coronavirus and everything associated with it. There are some great tools and reframes in

The Age Old Question: Is It You….Or Is It Your Teacher?

By Arden Kaywin | March 12, 2020

Throughout my many years of training, I’ve done singing programs and worked with teachers before that DIDN’T do a great job. One didn’t even bother to give me any critique – I spent $200 to blaze through song after song….I can do THAT at a karaoke bar for free! Another program’s information page was totally misleading (and the program was incomplete), and another teacher turned out to be incredibly verbally abusive. It didn’t matter – because

Truth Bomb

By Arden Kaywin | February 25, 2020

I’m gonna be brutally honest for a second. Right now, there are thousands of singers trying to make it in this business. They’re twisting themselves into pretzels to be, sound and look like what they think the industry wants. They’re obsessively focused on mastering technique. They’re going on TV reality shows like The Voice, Idol  and AGT just to get noticed. They’re even paying  to perform instead of getting paid to perform (pay-to-play gigs and YAPs). And despite

Change Your Singing With One Question

By Arden Kaywin | February 16, 2020

Have you seen yourself and other singers asking: “But what if it doesn’t work out?” “What if I’m never able to make a living as a singer?” “What if I’m rejected by the industry?” “What if I’m never able to break in?” “What if try it and fail?” “What if I can’t do it after all the training and effort?” This one question stunts most singers’ growth severely. It prevents you from taking a chance,

Don’t Take One More Voice Lesson Before Reading This

By Arden Kaywin | January 29, 2020

I’m sitting here trying to figure out the best way to open up this GIANT can of worms. And I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s really no way to sugar coat it, so I’m just gonna be blunt. The way singers are currently trained in this country DOES NOT WORK. It gets me SO riled up because you guys are being totally fleeced by a broken system and it’s costing you the fulfillment of your

Wisdom for 2020

By Arden Kaywin | January 13, 2020

Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I was in Florida (where I grew up) for the holiday visiting family and doing a whole lot of nothing which was BLISSFULLY perfect. Now I’m back in the swing of things, and it got me thinking about what words of motivation I have for you as you embark on this new year and new decade. And I was reminded of something my meditation wrote

Three Blindspots Preventing Growth In You Singing and Your Career

By Arden Kaywin | December 5, 2019

Are you doing everything you can for your singing? I bet you’re not. And I say that with zero judgement whatsoever cause I’ve been where you are. If it feels like you’re close, like you’re one step from getting the sound you want whenever you want, you’re one performance away from feeling like you “own” it, like you’re one step away from that big break…. Listen up. Your singing is a reflection of you. There’s something you’re

Why Singers Feel Burnt Out

By Arden Kaywin | November 23, 2019

Ever wonder why singers feel burnt out? Let me know if any of this sounds familiar: “Start posting covers on YouTube”, they said… the fans will come rushing in. “Play out, book as many gigs as you can”, they said. Better yet, do FREE gigs for exposure. No, wait….PAY to play! If you’re an opera singer or musical theater singer: “Change your repertoire” or  “Loose 10lbs” they said, ” Just move to NYC!” Give away

A Tool For Stability In Breath Support

By Arden Kaywin | October 9, 2019

When it comes to vocal technique, I think the thing singers struggle with the most is (drumroll please). . . . breath support! Would you agree?? That’s why regardless of if you’re a pro who’s been at this for a while or you’re a new singer just starting out, you can never have too many tools in your arsenal for good breath support.  And of all the things you can do to improve your breath support, there’s one global idea you need

By Arden Kaywin | September 11, 2019

Today I’m gonna discuss 3 Big Mistakes that I see singers making all the time without even realizing it. Make these mistakes, and you’re going to have a hell of a time EVER getting off the day-job band wagon and making a big impact with your voice. These 3 Big Mistakes all grow out of one thing. . . .

What Perfectionism, Joy and Detachment Have To Do With Singing

By Arden Kaywin | August 28, 2019

I went to an elementary school talent show recently, and it was about as chaotic and hysterical as you would imagine. But one thing struck me as each kid got up to do their thing – how much JOY they had while performing. It didn’t matter how good or bad of a dancer/singer/magician/violinist they actually were. Those kids were just SO happy to be up there performing their little hearts out, sharing their excitement and

Why You Should Never Fight With A Pig

By Arden Kaywin | August 12, 2019

I heard this the other day. . . . “Never fight with a pig. You get dirty, and the pig loves it!” It made me laugh. And then it made me think. We’ve all experienced haters at one time or another on our artistic journey. There are plenty of spiteful, competitive singers and snarky industry professionals out there who want to tear you down to feel better about themselves. They’re so insecure about their own

This matters MORE then talent. . . .

By Arden Kaywin | July 30, 2019

If you’ve been a member of my tribe for a while now, you know that one of the things that feeds my soul is gardening. Every summer I do a vegetable garden with my daughter (who’s now 6yrs old – just. can’t. handle.)   I was out in my garden this morning picking more cucumbers then I know what to do with (have any good pickle recipes??) and so many luscious tomatoes (salsa anyone??) and
