What Are Your August Plans?
Who are you seeing in concert? What project are you currently working on? What do you want to see happen here? HELP ME LIVE VICARIOUSLY THROUGH YOU! HAHA! I'm just kidding...mostly. While August brings a lot of transitions for me, the main transition I'm excited about is moving from months of court stuff to finally having more time for music and community. I've had so many things I want to do here, but increasingly less time to do them until now. While I it won't all be ready in August, I will be starting the setup of my new course versions, memberships, and a new vocal program, using this community as the hub. With that also comes ramping up content like I've been wanting to do for months. But there's something particular about my ADHD brain that I want to keep in mind. Often, if I tell you all the details, my brain marks it as done already. So, I'm really only going to say that I'm excited about what's coming, and would love to hear more about... What would YOU like to see here? I'm also producing an alt. rock artist while planning out my own music for this Fall. Being in the hard rock genre with a southern gothic soul, I've been thinking about collaborations as I build. I have a connection with Lzzy Hale, but I'm nowhere near where I need to be yet to bring her on. Taylor Momsen and Dorothy Martin also are on my list for the future. But I'm looking smaller, like Jared Benjamin, Lø Spirit, or others on the rise in social media. Is there anyone you would recommend?

One of my favorite songs is "In the Air Tonight" (Court stuff really sucks). Looking forward to your new injection of energy and creativity. While I don't use screams as such, I've incorporated grit into my voice to add character and emotional expression. I'm working on my range and adding grit to my mix and head voice. Your advice and explanation of vocal positioning has really helped me understand "where" my voice is coming from and "how" to manipulate it (going from what was a pretty bland tonal quality, into something that is much more entertaining and unique). I look forward to your future insights as I continue to grow through your wise tutorage.
CHOOSING Your Voice
Most singers want to find their natural voice. Yet in reality, you choose the voice you want through training and developing the sound YOU want. Here's why.

Great explanation! We're all singing covers and forced to "imitate". We can't just build one voice to fit all. Knowing what works (and what sucks) and then learning how to change it; now that's a goal! You've changed the destination; from finding "your voice" to exploring all the possibilities. You've changed vocal training to "a quest"! It's no longer just reaching the "Your Voice" destination. Thanks
Mindset Before Goals
Oftentimes, especially when setting goals, mindset is more important than method. Here's why.

It's a process. Life often gets in the way (and that damn break!) Ha
You Underestimate the POWER of Your Voice
There are plenty of ways to develop power in your voice. None of them will work if you don't have this.

So, back in the day (60's) we wore band uniforms; expressing a statement about the band. When you were in "costume", you assumed a certain persona (not your normal self). Today bands play in tee shirts and casual clothes. Wearing uniforms really put you in a "power" position! (I've got to admit, on stage with my tight velour bell bottoms and Beatle boots would get the girls screaming!). I really need to build that "power" confidence as the lead singer in my band; rather than just being one of the band members. It's a concept that goes against my laid nature, but I think it would strengthen what you're talking about, and totally change my performances; dramatically. Thanks for your insight.
If You Want Good Grit, Do This
If you want good grit and rasp, there are 3 main things to focus on. Here's what they are.

I play guitar (rock, pop, blues, folk). Adding grit and color can gives some "pazzazz" and makes my performances more interesting and entertaining.
