Do you know what the #1 thing is that sabotages good singing and kills singing careers?
(drumroll please)
Tension.
I did a poll recently on what the proverbial “Holy Grail” is for singers, and the overwhelming answer chosen was:
“To sing without strain and tension throughout the expanse of my range with a free, powerful, resonant and vulnerable sound.”
That’s not a tall order or anything!
(Can you feel me rolling my eyes right now? You probably are too. I feel you.)
I mean, if singing like that were simple, you’d be doing it by now.
You’d never strain going for high notes.
You’d never tense up on the breath or at the end of a long phrase.
You’d never feel anxious about what sound was going to come out – it’d be amazing!
The thing is, there’s a really good reason you’re frustrated, and guess what?
It’s not your fault.
You just don’t know what you don’t know!

THE SECRET TO SINGING FREELY
(aka how to NEVER deal with tension and strain again).
You NEED to know this!
If you are a singer who has had a ton of training and you’re STILL frustrated by tension and/or strain in your singing, watch the training and then ask yourself these simple questions:
- Am I committed to making a career and a life out of my talent?
- Am I open and coachable?
- Am I accountable to doing the daily work to get past my blocks?
If the answer is yes, don’t waste any more time being sidelined by tension and strain.
Schedule a call with me and let’s make a plans to get you past those blocks so you can finally build the career you know you’re capable of.

Hope you are staying safe!
Arden- I just wanted to thank you for what you do. I had all but given up on singing . It was my life, career and greatest joy but I simply could not get out of my way. And because of the mental blocks I was unable to free that which was always there. That nagging thought that I didn’t want to die with my song still inside me was awakened again when I discovered your videos. I immediately knew your method to be true. There is nothing worse in singing and in life than to know what is possible in yourself but to not know how to bring it out. You are a kindred spirit and I am so thankful I found you
Hi Justin, you are so welcome! I can imagine how beat down you were feeling cause yes, it SUCKS to know you have a gift but feel so blocked into calling it forth. So glad my method is helping you! Have you given any thought to diving in and booking a call to talk strategy and see if working together in The Intensive is the right fit for you?
