If you're like many of my clients,
the pandemic messed with your vocal practice.
Your vocal practice is on the back-burner.
Whether you have 3 kids, or 3 jobs or maybe what feels like only 3 minutes a day to yourself, somehow you lost the time you want and need to practice and it's nagging at you.
"Bad habits" are starting to creep in.
Singing just doesn't feel as easy as it once did. You've been noticing more tension. It's difficult to sing loudly or for prolonged periods of time. You're worried that your strength or stamina will continue to deteriorate.
It's messing
with your
mindset.
You feel like you're developing some vocal hang-ups.
It’s de-motivating not to have any singing jobs in front of you. You just can't seem to get motivated or stay accountable when it comes to your practice. And when you do practice, you just feel a bit lost on what exactly to do.
When you actually do find time to practice, you are probably struggling with one or more of these questions:
Where do I even start?
You're focused on what's not working - and that's making it worse.
Why am I pushing?
You're focused on how high the pitch is or how it "sits" in your break and not being able to figure out where the pushing is coming from is frustrating.
Why is it not powerful?
You're trying to add more breath support but can't tell if your using too much or not enough.
Why is it so unstable?
The concept of "support" has always been a bit confusing and your not sure how to be stable without feeling "fixed" or tight.
Why does it feel boring?
Even if there are no major technical issues, it may feel like you are just imitating other singers. You're trying to find your unique sound
and not sure how.
Why am I in my head?
You're trying to get back in shape, so you're focusing on the technique. But then too much focus on technique is getting you in your head. You're trying to find the balance and are feeling stuck.
Bottom Line
You want your vocal mojo back...
and to take your technique to the next level without it all feeling so complicated.
How would it feel to know exactly what to do on a daily basis to reclaim your vocal power?
Let me show you how.
Hi, I'm Tom Burke
I've been a speech-language pathologist and voice coach for Broadway Singers and Hollywood Actors for over 20 years. I've provided voice therapy to aspiring Belters, helped classical singers "cross over," trained mixers to find a meatier sound and helped all of my clients (to the best of my ability) find a more free, open, healthy, resonant belt. I pride myself in teaching these concepts in a fun, simple and when possible, a science-supported way in my online program.
Let me first say, that if you've been experiencing any hoarseness for more than 2-weeks outside of a cold, you have to go a ENT doctor that specializes in voice.
But if you instead feel like you've lost your vocal way, keep reading.
Below, I will share a process that is working to help clients around the world learn to, as we say, "Belt for Days."
If what I'm saying resonates, please consider joining us in my monthly membership program, where I will make your daily practice easier and more efficient in building your voice.
Introducing...
The Belt for Days Method
A step-by-step program designed to teach you exactly what you should be doing
on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to improve your voice.
Here is the 6-step sequence you need
to take control of your Belt and reclaim your voice.
Step 1
Find Your
Magic Words
Learn to love your voice again by focusing first on wha'ts working. I'll show you how to find your most powerful, easy sounds with my Magic Word method. I'll then show you how to train the other aspects of your voice for similar power and ease.
Step 2
Apply the
Diction Rules
Here I'll give you the tools I used as a speech-language pathologist to help you increase the intensity of your sound and simultaneously take pressure away from your larynx. I'll give you the diction rules you need to follow to avoid common challenges like pushing or flipping.
Step 3
Find Your "Alien"
"Aliens" are my silly way of practicing what scientists call "formant tuning." - the ability to tune your mouth (i.e. tongue, lips and jaw) to specific harmonics. I'll show you how to use this quirky but amazing technique to make your tone more beautiful, resonant and stable.
Step 4
Support Your Sound
Vocal support begins at your feet. That's why I'll show you how to engage your legs, core, torso, pharyngeal and soft palate muscles with a simple, repeatable protocol I've created based on the best of Alexander Technique, the Feldenkrais Method, Reiki, Thai Bodywork, Functional Movement, yoga and Pilates. You'll add more strength and stability to your tone without necessarily needing a bigger breath.
Step 5
Tap Your Soundboard
There are at least 12-13 moveable structures in your vocal tract which determine the brightness, darkness, breathiness and nasality of your voice. I'll show you how to tap into all of the sounds you can make as you move those structures and gain awareness, consistency and versatility.
Step 6
Tell a captivating, authentic story
In the end, people don't want to hear or see your technique. They want to experience a captivating story. Ill show you techniques for energetic presence designed to draw the audience in and leave them hanging on every word. No "parking and barking" here!
With the Belt For Days Method, you can spend less time worrying or wondering about your Belt and more effective time working on it.
