Your Voice

What is your voice?  Is it your larynx muscles acting in tandem with your air flow and various cavities in your head to produce sound?  Not exactly.

Your voice is your personality.  Your voice is your thoughts and feelings.  Your voice is your taste and style, your musicianship, and your inner child.  Your artistry, your communication and your delivery is also your voice.  All of these things are your actual voice, regardless of whether or not you use your singing to express them.

I can teach ANYONE how to sing, and I can teach everyone how to sing better, but I can't give you, or take away, your voice.  You already have one.  There are elements that connect your singing and your real voice and places where the two very much do overlap.  You can balance out your vocalization and in so doing you may find yourself balancing out certain emotions.  You can strengthen your sound production and the ease and variety of it, and that might make you a more confident person and performer.  Often when we say we "don't like" our own voice it's because we haven't learned the optimal vocal muscle coordinations to match our voice appropriately, and give it due recognition/presentation to others.

I can make anybody a singer if they put  in the time and dedication, but I can't make everyone a great musician, or a great artist, or a remarkable person.  Those discoveries are all personal and internal.  To have a good voice you have to like and honor who you are in every sense, and keep evolving/exploring yourself and your world.  To have a GREAT voice you need to learn to master the muscle coordinations in your vocalization that help you support and express your voice as fully and completely as possible.

I can't make you special, you already are, but I will help you sing better!
