Sticky post
I want to start this post by mentioning that I have been a professional singer since the age of 15 and I am presently working full time as a vocal coach (and not to toot my own horn, but I’m pretty good too). That being said, what I’m about to say will shock everyone who knows […]
Over the last 16 years of my coaching career, the terms chest voice, head voice, and falsetto have had different meanings to me. Of course, the initial meaning was what they sounded like. Chest voice sounding more like a normal speaking voice (typically). Head voice sounds more like Mickey Mouse – higher and lighter. Falsetto […]
Every singer knows they should be doing warm ups to exercise their voice, but most skip them. I don’t think we do this because we’re lazy, but more so because the idea of a solid warm up is fuzzy. So, I decided to write this article to help clear up any confusion you may have […]

As we approach the holiday season, we’re constantly around Christmas music, be it while we’re out shopping, during holiday programs, and even on the radio when out driving. These are songs we’ve heard our whole lives, but often when we choose to sing along, the real meaning eludes us. Most of the time, we know […]
This video is the perfect #throwbackthursday because it was the first video I did for singers over 3 years ago on the web. The video quality isn’t awesome, but the content is as relevant today as it was when I published it. Truth is, most people make breathing from the diaphragm way more difficult than […]
I’m not one for promoting or creating inflated egos here, but the idea I’m going to share in this article is a very compelling (and healthy) argument as to why you should fall in love with your own voice. Performing music well is all about passion. Without passion, music would be dull, robotic, and boring. […]
