What key should this song be in for my voice?
A question I've had a thousand times over the years.
Do you feel bad if you can't sing a song in a particular key?
What if you need to change it from the original singers key?
The correct key FOR YOU will unlock your voice to be what IT wants to be.
Not necessarily what YOU want it to be.
Your voice will ALWAYS teach you if you listen.
I loved this episode as it brought clarity to me regarding a topic I've been addressing for years.
It took it much deeper than I'd ever thought about.
Listen and enjoy!
Do you ever wonder why successful people don't take "failure" as truth?
Many amazingly successful individuals were told by "experts" that they did not have what it takes to succeed at their chosen endeavors.
What was the thing that made them continue on anyway?
This has always fascinated me.
I'm not so fascinated with those that had it all from the beginning - but with those "underdogs" who rose above and beyond what they were "expected" to do.
In this episode I explore what this is and, of course, how it relates to singing.
I know you'll find some of the examples pretty amazing and you may possibly relate to them...I did.
Listen and enjoy!
This was huge for me and when I finally got it my voice changed almost over night.
I know we think about this in life, however, it never occurred to me with my voice until one day on a walk as I was reflecting on why my singing was so difficult and what I was doing to help it be difficult.
If your voice is not balanced in this way it will be very challenging to reach your potential as you'll always be run by your programming and what you think you should sound like.
When we open to this kind of balance with our voices things that once seemed impossible to sing become possible and we often times find a whole new love for our voice and lots of new songs!
Listen and enjoy!
Over the years I've worked with hundreds of singers who play an instrument while performing.
If you do this, you know how challenging it can be to do both well.
In this episode I share what my years of experience working with these folks has taught me and how I've been able to assist them in becoming freer with this process.
This episode may not appear to be for everyone, however, even if you think you may want to play and sing at the same time some day, I think you'll get a lot out of this.
Frankly, even if you never intend on playing and singing at the same time I feel this episode will still hold some nuggets you can use.
Enjoy!
Artists and painters use colors to create other colors. They blend and mix and play until they get the "perfect" color.
As singers, our colors and paints are our vowels.
Rarely is a vowel "just a vowel". As you'll discover in this show, an "ah" is never just an "ah" and an "o" is never just an "o".
Listen as I play examples of some great singers to demonstrate this point.
When you really get this it will change your singing forever. Things that seemed impossible will be easy and words that were difficult to sing will be fun.
Listen and enjoy!
