Delaney Simplified Singing Voice™ Training

Are you a performer who is not satisfied with the way you presently sing? Do you want to be performing in front of audiences and seeking better control, ease, and power without ever forcing/hurting your voice? Do you wish to build strength and stamina in your singing , especially for live performance whether you are an actor, dancer, rock,  or pop-singer, or rapper?

 

Not happy with your current singing voice…

You love to sing in front of audiences but are not happy with your results.  You have vocal problems at times and feel like you just can’t achieve your best, particularly when in front of others.  You lack vocal power and the feedback you have received is that you can’t be heard or you are pushing.

Most singers have experienced this same issue at one time.  You know what your singing voice potential is, but, when you are in front of the audience, you lose power and are dissatisfied with your results.  You have perhaps had voice lessons but you didn’t really see enough results.

I have studied singing in the past but I hit a ceiling and am still not satisfied with my sound.

You are not the only one who feels this way.  Many of the people who I have worked with had felt the same.  They said that they just knew they had a better voice but no matter what they did, they could not get it ‘off the ground’, especially in front of an audience.

I have been having problems in my throat when I try to get louder.

Many professional singers have this same issue which is why many have to cancel performances and down the road have surgery; at the least go on voice rest.  There is a way to use your full body to learn never to hurt your throat and thus to sing with natural ease and power.  Relaxation is the basis of this approach and many singers don’t understand how to integrate the basic principles of singing voice production. If you sign up for the newsletter, you will receive the report, “HOW TO SING FOR HOURS WITHOUT EVER HURTING YOUR THROAT”.

I am afraid that I will never be able to improve my singing.

Given the misinformation in the field, it is natural to have this thought.  But honestly, if you can speak, then you can sing.  If you don’t hurt your throat when you speak, then you can learn not to do it when you sing; they are the same exact same process.  The only difference is that you have to extend the sound on the vowel- what is so-called ‘holding the note’ which is actually learning to sustain the vibration.

Case Study:

A singer was referred to me by a former student.  This person loved to perform stage and was quite a good actor.  But he had to limit the roles he took because he had a limited vocal range and could never ‘break out of the cardboard box with his sound’, as he put it.

Acoustics versus force…

In the theater, you need to be able to be heard in the back row but without forcing your voice. This performer became frustrated that he couldn’t achieve this  goal and was willing to try yet one more voice coach.   We quickly discovered that he was using too much force and this was preventing him from being able to sing with ease and at the same time with good resonance.  Since he had so much experience performing, it didn’t take long for him to discover that speaking and singing are the same process and that he had been doing something other than nartural singing.

Without accurate placement in your singing, you will sound other than you…

The minute this actor began to sing, he suddenly sounded like someone else and his natural and rich resonance was cut off.  He discovered that it was body tension and lack of body knowledge that was inhibiting his singing and within a few months he had transformed his singing and was taking the leads that he had for so long wanted.

Chemistry is important…

No-one can be all things to all people; this I learned in my 58 years of living.  The best way to see if we are a match and if I can provide you with what you are wishing for in your voice development is for us to set up an initial session.  This is a time when you get to ask questions and voice your concerns.  I have a chance to listen to your voice and see if I feel as though I can be a resource for you.

You can walk away from this initial meeting without having to make a commitment; get to live with your gut feelings before you decide, if you wish. This also gives me a chance to do the same thing.  Because my approach is related to who you are as a person, we both need to feel a natural impulse to work with one another.  People often have a superficial notion about what singing training is; you ‘practice singing’ I often hear.  But so much of our work is leading you to a use of your voice that you have not perhaps experienced and this can be slow work- but very rewarding.

Because our body if our historical record of where we have been, it can hold tension in ways that prevent us from accessing our true voice, our true power, and personality.  My 25 plus years of singing voice training helped me recognize that few of us know the true power and potential of our voices.  But once you learn how to access its power, not through force but through relaxation, another world is opened to you in regard to your performing.  This is what I help you discover.
