Delaney Simplified Singing Voice™ Training

Why do I post this picture?

We pay so much attention to our outside body but not enough to our our interior self.  Underneath  the skin and large muscles of grasping (or what are also called the muscles of extension) are a second, interior set of muscles called the muscles of initiation, or survival, or simply the emotional muscles.  These are the singers muscles!  The problem with most singers is that these muscles are tight (called flexion) and they need to be flexible and very adaptable. We need to be able to lengthen them over and over in order to produce a natural singing voice.

So how do we learn to condition them?

Having worked with singers since around 1984, being a therapist singers were sent to when their teachers told them to see David to help them with their tension, I know that it is only a dedicated singer who will pursue this level of commitment.  The holding or tension which we carry is ‘fear’ from traumatic experiences we had as children and behavioral habits we acquired from our families and society long ago.  I have found that only singers who have a ‘need’ to sing in front of others, for whatever reason, will go this next level.  Here in Boulder Colorado, I seldom see this level of need nor commitment.  New York City was different because the competition is so fierce there that singers are pushed past their comfort zones in order to get the kind of work that is satisfying to them.

Summer of 2012 in Boulder, Colorado…

Next summer, I will offer at 4 day class in Boulder for anyone who wishes to learn how to develop their ‘singers’ body.  The 4 days will will consist of:

1) learning a method of removing the tension from YOUR OWN BODY (with a little help from your friends)

2) learning to develop your body from the inside, out;  to awaken and develop the small singers muscles and improve overall body flexibility

3) learning the basic mechanisms, techniques, and strategies for developing your own unique and natural singing voice

This is by invitation only: so there will an interview process for being accepted into this class.  Please contact me if you are interested.
