Seeking Help With Vocal Technique Before Blowing Out Your Voice!
52+ Years of Modern Vocal Experience
In my four decades as a vocal artist and Vocal Pre-Producer, one truth stands out: there wasn’t anyone to help vocalists master the style and feel necessary for today’s genres. If I were still an artist today, finding a coach who truly understands modern music would still be challenging. Why? Because too often, vocal training veers into opera or Broadway territory, missing the mark for street or pop styles.
Good news:
I’ve spent my career developing what wasn’t available—coaching that combines modern vocal technique with genuine feel. After training for four years with Seth Riggs and working as his coaching partner, I realized that while he corrected my technique, he never addressed the emotional feel that audiences crave. My mission became clear: adapt classic techniques for modern vocalists without losing the authenticity of your unique sound.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late 🚨
Many artists avoid seeking help until a major vocal blowout happens—like Adele, Sam Smith, or Steven Tyler. It’s easy to think, “I’ve got this,” until you find yourself on the edge of losing your voice. Trust me, waiting until disaster strikes is not the way to go. If vocal technique doesn’t support your feel and style, it can sabotage your sound, career, and passion.
Finding the Right Coach for You 🎯
We don’t want to be told what to do—we want to know how to sing the way we desire and build stamina for tours and performances. But not all coaches get that. If a coach claims they can cover all styles but can’t demonstrate in your genre, don’t waste your time. Find a coach who can guide you to discover and perfect your signature voice—someone who understands the importance of emotional connection and can demonstrate it in your style.
Beware of Canned Vocal Programs 🎧
CDs, tapes, and online programs might look convenient, but they can’t hear you, give feedback, or customize their approach to fit your voice. Even celebrity-made programs can instill bad habits and derail your progress. Without real-time feedback and demonstrations, your art risks losing its authenticity. Why pay big bucks for a program that doesn’t care about your voice when you could find a real coach to help you develop a truly unique sound?
Producers Want to Feel the Emotion 💥
Producers are all about the feel of a performance, and the last thing they want is a coach interrupting that vibe. That’s why it’s crucial to find a vocal coach who can collaborate with your producer, ensuring that everyone’s working towards the same emotional connection and sonic experience.
Key Takeaway
Your voice is more than technique—it’s the bridge between your soul and your audience. Don’t wait until you’re injured to seek guidance. Find a coach who understands your style, helps you express your truth, and protects your vocal health in the process.
