Wisdom for 2020

by

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 which I want to share with you.   “trust your awareness. expand your vision. plant your intention and match your actions with it. cultivate discipline, dedication, and love for your artistic path.”   I’ve learned that if you cultivate these things, you cannot go wrong. Lean into these things and your singing and artistry will bloom. Embody these things and your career will thrive. Let 2020 be the year you shift your relationship with your singing to bring you less frustration and more joy. If you need a proven strategy and expert guidance to help you, I would be honored to be your guide. Here’s to the start of an amazing year!

Three Blindspots Preventing Growth In You Singing and Your Career

by

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 doing that’s holding you back. It happens to everyone. But the real problem is, it can cost you years of your life and waste thousands of dollars if you don’t figure it out. If you want to know which ‘blind spots’ are holding you back, so you can get past them once and for all and make a big impact with your voice… Don’t miss this training I did earlier this week: “Three Blindspots Preventing Growth in Your Singing”.   Watch HERE 👇

Why Singers Feel Burnt Out

by

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 your best stuff. Free downloads for an email address then cross your fingers those people come to a show. Post on social media 12 times per day.And I love this one… “Try to be authentic”. (I mean seriously . . .if you have to try, then is it really authentic?) All that and you’re no closer to being at the level you want in your career. All that to barely earn anything back. All that time, money and energy spent pursuing this passion and still coming up short. Ugh. If you’re like most singers, you think “I got into this so I could connect to people, move them and create some meaning in this world with my voice on a large scale….not to spend my

This Tool Is Like Rocket Fuel For Your Technique And Your Career

by

If you are a singer who is currently feeling stuck and unhappy with where your singing and your career is… And you’re ready to bust through the blocks, build a foundation and sing in a way that yields much bigger results… And not just any results, but the kind that you’re actually excited about… Then you won’t want to miss what I have to share with you today. Since 1999, I’ve sang with major opera companies around the country, made two pop records, sang opera on movie soundtracks, sang pop in national commercials for major brands and had my voice and my songs licensed by tv shows on every major network…. my voice is even in a singing Barbie doll! One could say that I’ve got that whole “singing” thing down. But what looks like a whole lot of success on the outside, was really just my own limiting beliefs run riot on the inside. See, what you don’t know is: I ran from genre to genre, from one city to another (NY to LA), from one goal to another, achieving a modest amount of success in one place before I’d reach a wall that I couldn’t figure out how to get past

A Tool For Stability In Breath Support

by

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 to know to make all the other tools work. Watch this video to find out what it is and learn how to implement it!

3 Big Mistakes Singers Make – Are You Making Them Too?

by

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. . . . You think of yourself as an Artist. NO! You are a BUSINESS Until you stop thinking of yourself as an artist and start thinking of yourself as a business, you will probably make one, if not all, of these 3 Big Mistakes that keep you from having the success you know you deserve. Mistake #1:  No Strategy I see singers trying to build what in the business world would be called a “Franken-career”. You’re learning everything you’re going need to know for a successful singing career, but it’s like they’re each a puzzle piece from a different box. You learned vocal technique from this expert voice teacher over here You learned performance skills from that program over there You learned audition techniques from this class over here You learned songwriting or recording techniques from that intensive over there You learned about promotion

What Perfectionism, Joy and Detachment Have To Do With Singing

by

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 energy with us. It got me thinking how far we stray from that as we get older. Remember how it felt to sing when you were younger? I used to dance around my bedroom in my jammies singing to Whitney Houston and George Michael (I’m a child of the 80’s, what can I say!). Remember how it felt before singing became this thing you had to conquer and perfect? The thing is, perfectionism leads us to over control. The more we try to control our sound, the less we trust our technique and the worse our performances become. Perfectionism is the thief of JOY. Yet so many of us are such control freaks and perfectionists around our singing! I should know because once upon a

Classical Singing vs. Pop Singing – Head Voice

by

I’ve got a question for you. .  .  . How do you feel about singing in your head voice? Is it no biggie? Or do you cringe at the mere thought of it? Or somewhere in between? If you’re a classical singer: You probably luuuuuuuuuuv singing in your head voice. After all, it’s the warm fuzzy place you call home ninety percent of the time. It’s your happy place – UNTIL – someone asks you to sing a contemporary pop type song (think cousin Ida who will just die unless you sing Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” at her wedding) and then you panic! You think: How do I sing those notes in a healthy way without shoving my chest voice up too high? If I use my head voice I’ll sound like an opera singer trying to sing pop which is the worst. (Sigh – maybe I’ll be mysteriously sick for the wedding) How do I sing in head voice for pop music? If you’re a pop singer: You probably have more of a love-hate relationship with singing in your head voice.  Using head voice for pop music seems to bring up all kinds of anxiety and confusion. Maybe you’ve even gone so far

Interested in doing The 4 Month Intensive? Don’t miss this!

by

I’m thrilled to announce that today, I’m opening up a big discount on The 4 Month Intensive and the Second Level Intensive only to members of my Virtual Voice Studio. It’s TIME SENSITIVE so watch this video now for the details! My Intensives have helped singers just like you, who are ready and hungry for a change. As life has proven to me again and again: If you want different results, then you have to try a different approach. Most of us need a good jumpstart to create real lasting change in our singing.  The Intensive could be that for you if you are ready to: Tap into your full singing potential Acknowledge yourself as someone ready to invest in the future of your singing Stop playing small and let go of your story Create a soul-centered relationships with your talent Be vulnerable Do what you say you are going to do Make commitments and take action This type of results focused work is not taught by most voice teachers. Integrating the mind/body experience with vocal technique is not a skill that most singers realize they even need! (Hint: If you’re working your tail off, but can’t figure out why you’re still not singing
