So you want to ROCK as a singer - but a few loops around YouTube looking for how to become a good singer and being given the same tired advice over and over and over again, and your head is spinning even more than when you first started, and you're starting to feel like you're even WORSE as a singer than when you started.
If you're looking for how to become a good singer, the truth might just be stranger than fiction.
What if I told you I don't sing with forward placement, I don't yawn before I sing, I don't sing in the mask and I don't clench my abs for support.
And this is never the advice that I've given my students in the 15 years I've been coaching singing professionally.
Yet all those videos on YouTube were continually telling you to crunch for support like you're constipated, to hold your breath, to yawn before you sing - the absolute opposite advice that you need to get started as a singer.
And there's two important reasons why.
1 - you're not a natural singer.
Yet the guy on youtube blabbing about speech level singing and how you just do a couple of ma-ma-ma's, a round of hail marys and some scales on a lip trills absolutely IS a natural.
You're literally a different creature to most coaches out there giving you this run of the mill advice.
It probably DID work for them.
But it's the WRONG advice for you in many cases because you're simply not a natural singer.
So, you've got a slightly different path to take to go from zero to hero.
2 - they've been at it for 20 years
Can you remember what it was like learning how to write the alphabet? No?
Can you remember what it was like learning how to walk as a baby? No?
And that's exactly why they're giving you such generic advice.
It's advice that works pretty well when your voice is great.
They've mastered the skill and they've been at it for 10, 15, 20 years and they're telling you just how easy it is to walk... but as a singer, you're kinda like the baby that just learned how to crawl.
It's useless advice for the place that you're at as a singer.
What if I told you that singing high rock notes was easier than any of this weird stuff that people are carrying on about?
And that you might not even NEED mixed voice?
Here's what I'm NOT doing when I sing high rock notes -
