Have You Heard of the Vocal Olympics?

I'm bursting with inspiration after watching the Olympics, and I bet many of you are too.  Watching the athletes compete reminds me so much of a vocalist's journey...  Hours, months and years of preparation for mere moments in the spotlight!   Of course, the INNER workouts are just as important as the OUTER workouts we see on TV.  As the London Olympics played, I led my C.O.R.E. Vocal Power In-Studio Class through their own summer vocal Olympics. 11 singers found their CORE voice and recorded an original song played on Global Voice Radio.  Stay tuned for the music video of "New Way" by the CORE Singers - coming soon!

Where Do We Sing From?

When I ask singers, "where do you sing from?" I typically get 2 answers: The heart, and the diaphragm.

Both answers are right, but they're only partially correct.

Here's a hint... Singing is the sound of your soul!

Dots Thoughts on Amy Winehouse

Powerful vs. Empowered Singing

Part of why I take an emphasis on empowerment as a vocal coach is because of the short-lived careers of many artists who fall so quickly after they rise, or never even make it to the top, because they suffer the consequences of making choices that permanently damage the mind, soul and body.

To help you maximize YOUR VOICE as a gift of expression with clarity, good health, abundance and longevity, I've written an article on POWERFUL vs. EMPOWERED SINGING.

Amy Winehouse was another example of how an incredible voice and all the talent in the world alone does not guarantee personal fulfillment and self-empowerment... A powerful reminder of how important your Mind, Soul and VOICE are.

It's a tough world out there, and empowered singing can help!
