If you’re a singer who likes to tell stories, and you want to do that in a satisfying, wholehearted way, you’ve landed in the right place.

I make videos knowing that if I help one person learn a game changing skill, carry away a helpful tool, or hear something that makes their life better, then it’s worth it. I hope this helped you today.

"Head Voice" and "Chest Voice" are just two of the many terms that continue to confuse singers. In this video, I teach you one exercise that helps. You'll understand how your voice is a continuum of possibilities, not cubbyholes or categories of abrupt change (unless you want that for stylistic purposes.)

This is a contemporary theater singer take on the classic messa di voce -- it helps you discover how your voice transitions from mode 2 (head/thin) to mode 1 (chest/thick) and then back to mode 2.

If you've never done an exercise, like this, you will probably encounter some speed bumps along the way. Stay with it, and just notice where the abrupt changes happen. Over time, your laryngeal muscles, your brain, and neurons will all start to coordinate to hand over phonatory responsibility.
