Hello Friends!
While watching the newest edition of Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, I came to a few conclusions…
This planet is insane! There are animals defying what we perceive as the laws of the physical world!
Check the caterpillar that tries to turn into a moth every short summer in the Arctic. He doesn't eat enough before the winter comes, so he crawls under a rock and literally freezes solid, only to thaw out again when the spring comes the following year. He follows this strategy for 14 years until he spreads his mothy wings.
Now. that. is. survival.
That’s Dedication!
Well..... has your musical inspiration and vocal technique frozen solid?
Do you need some creative and musical thawing??

Force Choked by Darth Tension
Force Choked by Darth Tension:
I was watching Star Wars the other day with my kids, and something occurred to me when Darth Vader couldn't take any more insults from Admiral Motti (the Death Star commander who mustered the courage to confront Vader's "sorcerer's ways”). This of course resulted in Vader’s decision to force choke Motti’s sneering windpipe from 10 feet away.
Poor Vader... the guy needs to get his emotions in check.
But as singers, we also know what it’s like to be in Admiral Motti’s shoes/windpipe. While singing with tension is a far cry from literal choking, not being able to sing the notes you want, not being able to breathe freely, and most of all, feeling scared or unable to function while on stage, are all real issues.
Thankfully I have an antidote!
In my latest mini e-book, I teach you the fundamentals of How to Sing Without Tension. Admiral Motti only wishes he could’ve thought of these tension-reducing techniques whilst Darth Vader had his grippy force tentacles around his throat.
Get it while the Grippin’s Good!

The perks just keep on coming, my friends.
When you are in the studio here at www.BoulderVoiceLessons.com, we do an Old Skool thang that has been tested through time.
All the Singing Students in the studio, at the end of the semester, get together for a studio class.
We all gather to sing in front of each other, wall practice the same technique, and basically… we all sound awesome.
Bestable of all, we get to practice the songs we've been werkin' on in front of real life non-digital people!
This is where your skillz get put to the test.
Competition, my lovelies, is what makes the cream rise to the top…
"Anyone who imagines they can work alone winds up surrounded by nothing but rivals, without companions. The fact is, no one ascends alone."
- Lance Armstrong (The greatest, hardest working athlete that ever lived)

Video Voice Lessons - Boom or Bust?
Can you learn anything from a video lesson?
Video Lessons are mainly there to peak your interest… to start a fire within you to have the desire to work towards that goal.
Take a martial art like Jiu Jitsu… it’s easy to get caught up in YouTube videos about Jiu Jitsu moves (right???? Or am I the only one here... crickets... awkward....)
You spend 3 hours (that you should have spent sleeping) going down the YouTube rabbit hole of watching matches, watching instructional videos, only to roll into the gym, and you find that all of your digital learning doesn’t really work out for you as you get chocked out over and over again (at least that’s my experience!)
If you’ve got a willing partner, you could work on the things that you learned, but the moves that a true-to-life class will drill, stick far better in your toolbox of tactics than you could ever hope for with a YouTube video instructional video.
It’s the same with the voice! You need to be able to sing for the teacher. The teacher must hear your voice, especially in the beginning, to see if you are doing the exercises correctly.
The Chest Voice Exercise and the Falsetto Voice Exercises are integral, fundamental steps to your progression. You can’t move on to the next level, or belt, unless you have a working knowledge of the fundamentals.
So get in touch, and let’s get you started off right. I’m here to help.

By the way, I am a current student of JiuJitsu at Easton Training Center in Boulder, CO. I can't recommend it enough as an exercise regime, but it's especially helpful for singers. It's an amazing workout; you’ll learn to control your emotions, your fears, but mostly your breath.
How many times have we, as singers, felt nervous or scared of the stage? It's different for everyone, but there's nothing like perspective to make you not worry about stage fright, and a martial art, especially JiuJitsu, often puts you in uncomfortable physical and mental situations.
I've learned so much about the breath through these situations. It might not be for everyone, but if you're interested, and in the Denver/Boulder area, check out Easton (tell them I referred you!)
Peace!
