There is so much going on in the world to elicit a passionate response at all times but now it seems to be hitting a fever pitch. For just a minute, take a microcosmic approach and look within yourself to your own battles right within your mind.

To reach your full potential as a performing artist, you need more than raw talent. You also need to practice your skills on a near-daily basis. If you don’t have adequate practice space in your home, consider utilizing a spare room and turning it into a multi-purpose performing arts space.

If you’ve ever spent some time in a vocal lesson, you’ve probably spent some time doing a seemingly ridiculous vocal exercise that probably made you laugh. Why would someone want to do something that looks or sounds that way?

Its definitely not just you, its all of us. Notice that I said US. This goes way beyond singers, this is the Bane of the Artist Soul cycling through the seasons. Welcome to winter.

I'm pretty sure Demi has poured her heart and soul into her craft since her most recent public meltdown because this performance was astounding! The Super Bowl national anthem is about as high as you can go up the ladder for respect as a vocalist.

The True Power of a vocalist lies not in what we say but how we say it.

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

I am Captain Obvious, your vocal instructor here to tell you that you (singers, and probably everyone else too) probably need to drink more water but somehow that just doesn’t seem like enough. Pun intended.

The latest rendition of A Star Is Born has generated a lot of buzz via their well-planned internet ad campaign and as proof of its success, even if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you’re probably planning on it.

That would be known to the rest of the US as “Halloween”…

True story, since 2012 I’ve been dressing up as Amy Winehouse every year for Halloween.

Because I’m more than just a vocal coach, I’m your ruthless often wayward personal ambassador that will repeatedly try to theoretically beat greatness out of you.
