My Story

I first began ‘accidentally’ coaching singers somewhere around 1987, just after I had my first voice lesson. I’d never done scales, warmups of any kind, nor had I any real understanding of how the voice works!

My earliest lessons, though somewhat flawed and needing a deeper focus, had instantly boosted my confidence and I was able to sing for musicals, bands and a musical troupe at the University of Utah, titled “Crimson Collage,” consisting of 3 male and 4 female singers.

I instantly helped many friends and first time singers warm up their voices and they begged me for lessons, after experiencing dramatic results and boosting their confidence. I had the intuition, but I needed to fill in some blanks.

Time to Tap Out

So, I went to LA to study with world-renowned vocal coach, Seth Riggs. The first 15 minutes made me realize the majority of my previous training was a waste of time and money. Within a year, I was coaching exactly what I had learned from that vocal master. And…I was hearing from singers exactly what I expressed about my first session with Seth.

Fast Forward

The year was 1994, and I had moved to LA/Anaheim, just to study with Seth, sing out in clubs, get some experience and spend some time singing in every style.

I read every book on technique that I could find. I’d already begun this habit back in college in 1987. But now it was time to weigh out all the exercises, debates, controversies, ideologies, methodologies and pedagogies, floating in the atmosphere regarding singing.

Brett… the Actor

Now, most people who know me, have never heard me talk about my off and on experiences as an ‘extra’ in multiple films, tv shows, like Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and musicals like Fiddler on the Roof and West Side Story (I got stabbed and died. I was a shark. Those lousy Jets!!! RRR)

Movies like: Fast Getaway, 3 O’clock High and LL Cool J’s “Out of Sync”.

Talking Technique with LL Cool J

If you’ve ever been an extra in a movie, you have a lot of sitting around time. LL Cool J overhears me saying that I’m a vocal coach and comes up and asks me, “What is that like and how does one actually teach someone to sing?”

We had a great conversation. I’ll tell you details in this short blog.

Understanding Your Vocal Cords?

I explained to my actor/rapper/now legendary friend LL that the voice has the parts.

Respirator- the lungs, which are powered by the diaphragm

Vibrator- the VOCAL CORDS, which are two fleshy, muscular bands that swing together very close until they vibrate, producing sound and controlling pitch and initial tone quality. They stretch to sing higher, tighten or squeeze (but not too much!!) to produce clarity and resonance, and pull slightly apart to produce airy tone qualities.

Resonator- The resonator(s) consist of the spaces around your vocal cords, above your larynx, in your throat, mouth, and nasal cavity and they shape vocals, are responsible for articulating consonants and producing varieties of tone quality or tone color.

What is Vocal Training?

Vocal training is the art, science, or methodology of developing the singing, by strengthening and coordinating the muscles of the larynx, the vocal cords, expanding the lungs, strengthening the diaphragm, and learning to relax the the facial muscles, neck, jaw, and any other muscles that prohibit free vocal cord (also called vocal folds) vibration.

Through employing various vocal training exercises, including simple vocal warm ups, minimal (and sometimes…not even necessary) proper breathing techniques for better breath control, learning to maintain good posture and crisp articulation, you can drastically improve your singing voice.

Learning to stay hydrated, what foods and physical exercises either hinder or help the voice, and developing your ear to sing a perfect major scale can help you have an all around sense of pitch.

At my studio, we take into account speech patterns, both negative and positive, and develop sounds that are familiar, from the lowest note up towards high pitch sounds that make singers more exciting, and their music into the art that audiences desire to listen to. But this means finding YOUR own voice. Not merely being able to sound like your favorite artist.

Voice training should be a TON of discovery, so that you can hit a higher pitch than you’d ever imagined, with more control than you’ve ever thought possible. Unleashing YOUR natural tone, maximizing vocal freedom, power and tone quality, are all crucial….especially for professional singers.

How Will Vocal Exercises Help My Singing Voice?

(Also, see my blog on vocal registers.)

Basically, you have three vocal registers. A register is a particular vocal tone or color, typically within a certain range of your voice. These consists of:

  • Chest Voice- This is the darker, deeper tone in the lower ranges of the voice, more noticeable and prevalent in the male voice, although women with deeper voices will have stronger chest voices. This is the voice that most people use for speech.

  • Head Voice- This is the highest or lightest voice, above what some refer to as the ‘break’ area of the voice. But, when thought of—using effective vocal techniques—you don’t have to break. Falsetto is often mistaken for head voice and vice versa. But falsetto literally sounds like a fake voice and is typically airy, though adding nasality can add an element of color….like the famous BeeGees. When the break area is coordinated through good technique it becomes a bridge, or passage way (passaggio in Italian) to join the chest and head voice together in what is called….

  • Mix or Middle Voice- The is a sound thinner than chest voice, yet thicker than head voice, and can be somewhat nasally, bright or brassy. (Think, Stevie Wonder or Ariana Grande.)

The mix voice is the least natural for most singers. So having the right daily vocal exercises, a reputable singing course and/or an effective voice coach, is needed to find this coordination.

High notes have to be developed through understanding how to exercise the voice with simple practice sessions that will keep the voice strong AND flexible.

You’ll learn to hear music with understanding of rhythm, pitch and control. In fact, you’ll accept your own power, because your practice sessions will transform you!!

What Are the Benefits of Vocal Training?

There are three identifiable, immediate benefits of vocal training:

PITCH, DURATION & QUALITY

The means you’ll have a sound that audiences want to listen to. In fact, most every pro singer has had, or still has, a professional voice coach.

Public speaking usually requires a flexible voice. If you are monotone—meaning you typically talk on one note with little variation—you won’t get many more public speaking engagements. And…. a lot of them make far better income than the average professional singer.

Better Sound

You can dramatically improve your sound, power, intrigue and likability (you heard that right!) just by using the right vocal techniques, specific to your voice. To get the best vocal sound, you don’t always need the best vocal power. In fact, no one ever accused Ellie Goulding, Kenny Rogers or Neil Diamond, of having the biggest voices. If your voice sounds good in person and on a recording, you’ve hit a home run and are ready to soar.

Increased Stamina

Running through daily vocal warm ups will train your voice through repetition of the the least stressful singing techniques.

Proper breathing exercises—particular to singing—will sustain vocal cord vibration for a longer time, with less fatigue. Breathing techniques for singing, include feeling the pressure of the diaphragm lowering the lungs, through the outward protruding of the belly, upon inhalation. This keeps strain off your voice box (larynx) and will train your voice using breath control, which is regulated through a balanced vocal cord vibration. Not too much tension. Not too little!

Remember this, not every vocal exercise is good for every singer. In fact, the sound of every voice includes the thickness for the vocal cords, the size of your mouth, how wide or closed your mouth is during speech and when you sing certain types of songs.

Too much tension in the lips and tongue are fatiguing (hence the reason lip trills or lip buzz and the tongue trill are so effective).

Voice Control

Learning to sing various scales will help you to practice perfection. Pitch can be developed. NO ONE is tone deaf, unless you are deaf. Practice singing with your shoulders relaxed and make pitches with your vocal cords, not with your mouth. Control does NOT require force.

Improves Vocal Range

As you exercise your voice daily, your lung capacity will increase, allowing you to do longer scales. Your vocal warm ups should include flexibility scales to increase your range. Vocal range, is the result of the right vocal warm ups…and as I’ve said earlier, “Not all exercises are beneficial to each singer.”

Train your voice with a personal voice coach to get the fastest, most concise results.

Improves Vocal Health

Once you build your singing voice, discover your vocal range, and learn good vocal health habits, your voice should be protected against abuses that can cause damage.

Included in our VIP membership is Vocal Therapy for those rare times when you might get carried away singing too heavy, too long, or singing dehydrated or suffering from allergies, reflux, or inflammation.

Unlock New Skills That You Thought Were Unattainable

As I’ve mentioned, all techniques are NOT created equally. For years, I’ve had a ‘particular set of skills’ to be able to ‘see’ inside your throat with my ears. My coaches all possess this skill. It’s not unusual for us to add 1/2 to a full octave in the first couple of lessons.

There’s a huge difference between warm ups that follow the status quo and warm ups that coordinate your voice, unlock your high notes, and immediately make you sing better.

Lessons should NOT be scary. The reason you see a voice coach is to warm up your voice, fix issues and sing with confidence. Finding a coach who cares more about your voice than you do, is rare. Honestly though, we do! We want to be your support.
