Q. Do We Have To Be Born With A Good Voice?
Many people believe we have to be born with a good singing voice to be able to enjoy singing. If we aren't born with it, there is only so much you can do.
The thing most people haven't discovered yet is how inner anxiety affects the voice, and limits it with tension.
If someone doesn't like their voice, it is the sound of the tension they don't like.
I find it that once the tension is removed, they hear their true voice for the first time. And they really like it.
George is a wonderful young lawyer with a big strong voice. He had no upper range though, could not sing high notes without straining.
As his inner anxiety was removed in the program, a wonderful high voice opened up. He is singing for his family and friends today, and sounds wonderful.
Most vocal teachers would tell you that your anxiety will disappear after you sound good. So that'd why you need lessons.
My 3-step vocal method is different, because we heal your inner anxiety first, and then the voice finds its own way much more effectively.
As the inner tension is gone, new singers find they really like their voice. They can surprise themselves.
My method is unique as I have been helping many as a life coach and spiritual mentor, even though I started as a vocal coach.
My specialtry is helping people release anxiety, so we alse use those tools in the vocal sessions, in addition to the vocal tools your favourite singers are using.
Most of the singers in these programs, especially the brand new singers, end up singing in bands as lead vocalists, recording and writing music or singing for their family and friends.
Most had never considered this before, not knowing it was possible for them.
I love helping people do what they thought they could never do.
It helps them live their best life, because this gives them much more confidence.
For me the best part is seeing people live better happier lives without the anxiety they used to carry around, which used to affect their relationships and careers.
Seeing people thrive and live a more peaceful, harmonious life is inspirig and satisfying for me.
Many find their careers blossom, their relationships improve and they are just happier.
Question: Classical Teachers say that if you learn how to sing Classical or Opera you can do any style. Is this true?
This is just not true. Have you ever heard an opera star sing rock, pop, R&B or modern musical theatre? It sounds like a classical soloist trying to sing in a modern style. It just doesn’t work.
There have been few notable exceptions to this, for example Freddie Mercury of the rock band Queen, however for most people a Classical approach is the most long and difficult route to loving their sound while singing their songs they adore.
If you wish to become a very good or great modern Vocalist and effectively perform modern styles doesn’t it just make sense that you would need to learn the modern techniques used by these artists?

Question: What is your background as a mentor?
I was told at an early age by a traditional classical teacher that I would never be a great Singer. I was told that teachers could help me with my sound but not to expect a lot.
I was very much in demand as a musician ( keyboard player ) but when I opened my mouth people actually groaned, or even laughed. I couldn’t hear pitches accurately and even mouthed the words in choir because I was too embarrassed to let my thin weak out of tune tone be heard.
But I really wanted to sing and I knew I’d never give up!
So through my childhood I worked hard using the techniques I was taught but only achieving marginal results. In my teens I realized that I had to throwing away much of what I learned because it wasn’t giving me the sound I was looking for…I wanted to have the sound I heard in modern popular music.
So I learned to BELT. Ouch!!!
While this gave me the thick sound similar to many contemporary singers it actually HURT my instrument. But at least I was in demand. Finally!!
But my effective range was very limited. It was very difficult for me to hit the high notes.
Sound familiar????
My sound and tone were far from free. I felt limited. But I never gave up searching for an answer.
Your Inner Connection
Meanwhile, clients working with me were achieving breakthroughs in the emotional delivery side of their songs…very big changes in fact. Listeners were getting goose bumps, experiencing magical musical moments listening to these them.
They were getting rave reviews. feeling very fulfilled with their own unique sound and deeply inspiring others. And then I found it!
The answer to the tonal freedom that I’d been looking for for decades. I learned the secret to range that almost EVERY aspiring vocalist dreams of.
I discovered a Guru Mentor. A master of masters. A Guru of Gurus, who seemed to have collected and evolved the very best of the best of modern techniques.
These techniques were helping my students remarkable well with all styles of songs, especially popular contemporary styles.
We combine these advanced breakthrough techniques along with the emotional side – that side that makes people melt their hearts and go ‘ooh’ and ‘ahhh’ and gush all over you ( or fall in love with you, but that’s another story
Clients were telling me that they were now achieving dramatic breakthroughs in their song technique while deeply connecting to the emotional power within each song and within themselves.
A path to finding your voice...
After decades of searching I can now happily say that the answer is here for those who are willing to take the steps to learn and master modern techniques that are effective.
I haven't met anyone who wasn't able to achieve the sound they wanted to hear.
I see it happen over and over again.
The formula for development a great sound and ability is:
1. Learn the right techniques – many teachers don’t even know about these or will deny they exist
2 Find a GREAT mentor who can help you compress decades into years or even months – – but the great ones are out there!!
3. Apply yourself consistently and be very willing to change.
You must let go of what you cling to in order to completely embrace and accept what you are being taught.
You cannot stand on two islands. You must leave behind where you’ve been and what you are used to in order to get where you wish to go.
Above all, to change your voice, you must change your approach.
Best wishes and keep singing,

Get ready to find your voice... get ready to rock!
