Foundation Vocal Course

A wonderful look and sound of Keegan demonstrating what to do. The downloadable exercises brought my voice to a new high with a nice subtle grit and feeling that is showing me that I'm in the professional zone.

Great explanations and examples. After 30+ years of tenor singing, buying courses from 3 different coaches, and a lot of you-tubing, I had a strong had and chest voice but couldn't blend them to save my life. Kegan brings it all together and presents in a way that finally made sense to me. I can tell during the first run-through that I'm singing more free and relaxed than ever before in high range. Kegan is the real deal. Lots of good stuff out there, but Kegan takes it up a notch in the how's and why's to bring it all together. Worth every penny.

Remember all those pesky exercises? "Ma-ma-ma-ma", "Gug-gug-gug" - annoying aren't they? In my last lesson in-person, a guy had me do these arpeggios to a piano for an hour and it was torture. I kept tapping out on the G, even though I knew I could sing it, and the guy just gave me a perplexed look of defeat going: "Uh, um, yeah, let's try again!" This was a certified coach who charged a pretty penny; this is the standard... Needless to say I didn't come back. In this course booster, Kegan helps demonstrate how these exercises actually do hold merit in your development, and gives you the how/what to address any obstacle you may run into, working WITH your body's cues rather than disconnecting from them like protocols often do. What I love about Kegan's approach is his emphasis that no exercise or funny trick does anything "for your voice", but it's what you do WITHIN an exercise that then shows you how you're using your voice, so you can apply that in the very songs you probably came here for - cause let's be honest, who wants to learn to sing just to do exercises? If you're enrolled with Foundation, and you want more with your newfound fundamentals locked in, this course booster is a beast.

Started singing in 2017, first studying all the famous – KTVA, R.A., P.B., etc., and I was in no position to understand what they were doing. I just figured I had a break at C4, and singing to piano scales with that in the back of my mind was practically torture. I moved it up to G4 after years but it was just strenuous, rigid, extremely tiring and qualitatively hopeless in comparison to my favorite artists who made it seem so easy. Kegan helped me realize it's because "it is easy", but what they're doing is so far from what I was doing, which I didn't grasp until I actually changed what I listen for and how I even hear singers (also covered in this course). I remember always having this intuituve sense that singing shouldn't be hard or uncomfortable no matter what register of the voice or whether you're a rock guy etc. It was such a struggle to not just give up when I'd record with bands and basically blow my voice out in front of producers and bandmates just to get an F#4 in a freaking backup vocal. Literally went to the studio bathroom and started beating my head in anger. Reaching an E4 was abrasive, and much louder than when natural singers I observed sang way higher in full voice, because I had to make it so loud for it to even happen. Good singers can control their volume, and really their power comes from more of a treble boost, which you'll understand within this course. For years I kept looking, feeling like maybe I just didn't 'have it' or I wasn't trying hard enough. Discouraged by all the YT vocal coaches saying stuff like: "That's definitely a belted A4 in chest voice!" talking about Chris Cornell or the likes. BTW guys who say that never quite get the paint stripping treble in their tone (or the dexterity, stylistic freedom and ease) that you've probably seen Kegan demonstrate. Ever since I found Kegan, I quit looking further. The Foundation Vocal Course brings all aspects together, the techniques, principles, tools, psychology, the nerd stuff as well as the practical, so that no matter who you are, if you're serious, you can learn to sing. Here's a tip if you enroll: Throw out everything you thought you knew about singing. I can't extrapolate the significance of this; it must be experienced. You will realize how the different concepts actually work and no matter what your disposition is, this course thoroughly addresses every potential variable and hands you all the tools for troubleshooting, whether tonal, physical or psychological hurdles - or all of them! FVC ties things together and makes sense. It is everything I had always been looking for.

This is an essential text for vocal technique. Vocal terminology used to be jargon that didn’t mean much to me, and certainly didn’t have any clear practical application. This is the first text in which I have found the essential elements of the voice and vocal technique clearly explained; the many examples of how these elements and exercise can be employed has been very enlightening. I cannot recommend this highly enough.
