Built by a Veteran Nashville Vocal Coach

In 1991, Brett opened his first vocal training studio in Salt Lake City, Utah, becoming the top vocal coach in the region. In 1998, he launched his Singing Success Program and relocated to Nashville, TN, to offer world-class voice lessons right in the heart of Music City.

Brett and his Associates offer vocal coaching, artist development, vocal therapy, and other professional artist services right on Historic Music Row. There is no better place for a vocal studio. 

Who do you trust?

If you have ever taken singing lessons, voice lessons, or had vocal training – whatever you choose to call it – you know that many coaches claim to give the exact same results. And so they should. Several coaches have good ideas about voice training. So the question is… who do you trust? How do you know that you are choosing the right vocal coach when you purchase lessons?

In Nashville TN, there are over 50 Belmont University grads who drop out early and decide on the route of vocal teacher, rather than pursuing music for a living. Understandable! The music industry is a tough world. The question is… how can you be assured that you are picking a voice teacher who has an effective method? We propose that the method matters.

question mark (900x600)

We build great singers using a renowned systematic and diagnostic method.

Our method is professional, reputable, and effective. Yet fun and enjoyable, and gives you the technical foundation for your unique style. 

ELIMINATING STRAIN

The greatest difficulty singers have is singing higher without breaking. The untrained or improperly trained, voice typically loads up with extraneous musculature, meaning muscles not related to or helpful in singing.

We disengage the swallowing muscles, digastric and hyoid, which interfere with free vocal cord vibration. This results in no more reaching for high notes or scooping down for low notes.

This is our approach: train voices to sing with the ease of speech through their entire vocal range, so there is even effort on every pitch. We believe strongly that singing should not be strained or pushed.

OPTIMIZING VOCAL CORD CLOSURE

We teach a friendly compression that balances out and maximizes the efficiency of the voice. Since compression, or cord closure, is needed to produce tone, vocal lessons are geared at reducing excess squeeze and excess breathy tones.

IMPROVING VOCAL RANGE

Additionally, we train singers to use a gradual shift of resonance from chest voice to head voice by developing a mixed voice, or what most industry professionals simply refer to as “mix.”

The vocal cords are reimagined as less of a muscle to be stretched and more as a zipper. The vocal cords should actually thin out in the early stages of stretching and then “zip up” while higher notes are approached.

DAMPENING THE VOCAL CORDS

This means you have a shortened vibrating surface, creating a higher pitch. Sort of like fretting a guitar string rather than continuing to stretch the string till it snaps.

BREATH CONTROL

We teach a simple philosophy on breath control: The vocal cords control the breath. In other words, the proper amount of vocal cord closure will summon the proper amount of air necessary for a balanced tone quality. 

However, inhaling and exhaling techniques for singing are a deep well. We often explore various breathing approaches with advanced singers. 

VOCAL HEALTH

Keeping the voice healthy is vital to making vocal breakthroughs. We teach singers to avoid vocal misuse, overuse, and abuse. This can only be achieved by eliminating strain, developing your vocal registers thoroughly, implementing a proper warm-up and cool-down regimen, and knowing your current vocal limits.

VOCAL CAREER BENEFITS

The recording artists we work with know that they must maximize their vocal potential, as consummate professional singers all understand.

Performers need to REMAIN professional and CANNOT make excuses. They MUST show improvement in confidence, songwriting, performance, range consistency, and overall skill level!

Once our voices are doing what they are supposed to do – what they WANT to do – vocal styles can be explored more efficiently and effectively.

How many singing lessons does this take?

The sooner a singer begins, the quicker this happens. But our technique is faster than anything else in the industry

The bottom line.

Singing doesn’t have to feel like lifting weights. Our method prepares you to sing using less than half the musculature of what was previously thought to be needed. And you get more of YOU in your distinct timbre because you’re not compromising your authentic voice.

Experience Vocal Lessons at Singing Success - Brett Manning Studios

Brett and his hand-picked, uber-talented voice teachers give 50-minute lessons. Lessons can be even longer if an artist is preparing for a tour, needs vocal rehabilitation, etc. The lesson structure is actually simple, exploring exercises, music theory, and more, though the coaches possess an extremely complex understanding of how the voice works.

Voice lessons usually end up with a bond between the vocal coach and the aspiring singer. This often develops in the first lesson! Our vocal coaches have strong intuition, gifted communication styles, and serious vocal skills. All of them are or have been professional singers.

A singer comes in and begins to vocalize, running scales that are formulated in the moment to respond to the singer’s greatest need. Our method typically increases the range by an octave within a few sessions.

Customized Vocal Exercises

Pitch accuracyvocal endurance, and tone quality are immediately improved. This is due to doing the right vocal warm-up in the right order. Much like a personal trainer at the gym. It’s the order that makes the difference. You don’t start with maximum weight or sprint.

Best of all, there’s no mental strain involved in voice training. Every voice teacher in our Nashville studio makes singing much more simple from the very first lesson.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SINGING SUCCESS PROGRAM

Copy of Copy of SS360 REDO

Created and founded by vocal coach, author, and innovator Brett Manning, Singing Success (SS) is a company that produces globally best-selling voice training programs. The first SS program was produced out of Brett’s Salt Lake City home and sold in over 170 countries. Nearly a dozen other products have been produced since then (and there are MANY more in the works)!

In 2015 the newest version of the flagship program “Singing Success 360” (SS360) was produced in Nashville, TN. It was released with many revisions, deconstructions, and re-formulations, along with the newest and latest breakthroughs in voice technique, vocal health, vocal style, and all things related to the voice.

This SS360 program utilizes seasoned performers that Brett and his colleagues have been training in Nashville and worldwide for many years. These singers serve as a paradigm of how a truly healthy voice should sound in every exercise.

Some of our other programs include Mastering Mix, created to help singers find and master the most exciting and elusive vocal cord coordination: mixed voice. Vocal Hacks, which gives short and simple quick-fix tricks to hack stubborn areas of the voice. And many more!

Voice Therapy

A good voice teacher does not merely focus on singing lessons or professional development. They must have deep knowledge and discernment of the vocal health of their students as well. This sets apart the associates from Brett Manning Studios.

Nearly every singer will experience a need for vocal therapy at some point. This is why all our coaches have deep knowledge and experience in vocal therapy and vocal restoration.

In 2016, Brett Manning created our “Vocal Therapy” program to address a need an overwhelming number of singers were having. This program has countless client testimonials via email, personal contacts in our studio, and social media shoutouts. As you can imagine, this is a recurring need in the music industry. Of course, we believe this is also a big help for anyone aspiring to be a professional singer!
