This is an excerpt from helping a patron during our recent office hours event. In this clip, Lily describes challenges around starting directly in her desired voice and we talk solutions. Then, we explore her higher pitches as she reports they sound less natural and more "off" -- we find the reason and talk about solutions!
Everyone from the recent office hours gave me consent to share these recordings so be on the lookout for more throughout this month!

This is an excerpt from helping a patron during our recent office hours event. In this clip, Gwyn demonstrates the progress she has made thus far and we work together to take it further. This clip is a great example of how to approach driving improvement in sound production by relaxing and staying fluid while searching for higher and lighter foundations.

Hi! Group class sign ups are now live! We've also added a page to give more information about the programs for those interested. Group courses are super exciting as they allow more individuals to get help with voice at an affordable price point compared to private lessons. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below!

New Practice Files:
Hi! Recently we met and did some guided voice practice. Here are two tracks from the session. I will be releasing other guided voice files in the coming days and I will continue to make more guided practice file content like this. You can find them attached below.
They are both ~10 minutes long and cover different things. Mostly a variety of warm-ups.

3rd Annual Christmas Livestream is happening!
For those who don't know, it's become a bit of a tradition for me to spend Christmas with YouTube and the community. I love being able to provide a comfy space for those without somewhere to go. These streams often go 5-7 hours. The more the merrier!
This year will be a bit special. I will be giving away musical equipment and voice lessons.
Giveaways will include:

Hi all! I forgot to post this to Patreon when I released it!
Do you think you are tone deaf? You probably aren't. Less than 4% of the population has true tone deafness. Even if you are one of the rare individuals with congenital amusia it can still be improved (see link below). For most pitch strugglers out there, you simply haven't learned how to match pitch or what it means to match pitch. This video describes a long standing, tried and true method for learning pitch awaren...

Hi everyone. I've been sick for nearly 2 weeks and have completely lost my voice during this period. I've been quite frustrated because I can't film videos, can't do audio feedback, can't teach lessons, and can't record vocal music.
This piece is kind of the embodiment of frustration, anxiety, and concern. It feels a bit like the unanswered question.

This video is a demonstration of using voice synthesis tools to model a voice from scratch. I build up a masculine voice then I feminize it. This video is much different than usual. I just felt like making it and it was fun. As always, infinite thanks for being here.

Hi everyone! Early this year, Clover and I put a significant time into developing a fairly comprehensive book resource. It has grown quite large and we are still actively developing this but have decided to develop it in a revolutionarily different way than we first anticipated. To complete that, it will take more time than estimated back in March.
In lieu of that, I wanted to share this resource because it's sitting around in a usable state and I think it will be super useful for...

I hope you all enjoy this! I wanted to try some new content stuff. It was really fun. <3
I'll be mixing in more diverse content in between my educational releases in order to keep a steady stream of new stuff happening. The highest quality education videos typically take ~1.5 months from start to finish so instead of just having a bunch of dead time while I make those, I'll do more things like this, live streams, and other short educational videos.

I was chatting with some voice friends last night and I was asked, "what do you do when students come back and haven't practiced?" I shared several ideas that are important to me and realized it would be a good theory blog post to expand on here. So here are a few key considerations I have when interacting with a "student who didn't practice":
Strategies to deal with students who didn't practice:
• It's essential to lay the ground work for good practice habits f...

Candor on the Discord server asks, "Is there an exercise to help separate pitch and resonance control". So I decided to make a video showing 3 approaches to help someone separate pitch from resonance.
1. Harmonic Ladders
2. Visually observing pitch while moving resonance
3. Using an external pitch source to remove pitch from the equation to train the ears to hear what resonance changing on a constant pitch sounds like.
I have attached the external pitch file to t...

Hi! I used to upload more of these short little videos. Definitely want to make more exclusive patron content like this so be on the lookout for it. This was in response to someone on the Discord asking about how to work on resonance in singing // how to hear resonance in singing.
If you have any questions you'd like answers to in a video format just post below!
thx so much for the support as always. my energy levels have been great lately as my intestine heals wooooo!! :D

I spend a lot of time making massive chords in JI. Someone named Rahul Peter recently posted a large 27-note, 12 pitch class chord from a Jacob Collier T-shirt and asked how it could be tuned microtonal. I thought this was kinda fun so I went ahead and made a video on it. Everyone responded positively to the small clip I made in the other thread so I hope y'all enjoy this.

Hi everyone! Recently, we gathered in the server and had a wonderful workshop. This workshop was focused on exploration, experimentation, and thinking of voice beyond "individual parameters". 10 participants helped lead the way between tons of experimentation, silly noises, vocal gender exploration, and much more.
While we often discuss voice as a series of components such as resonance, weight, pitch, etc, these are simplifications that make it easier for beginners to aurally reco...

It begins very basic, teaches you what to listen for, gives you exercises to plays with, discusses how to make use of it, what issues to avoid, and other considerations.

This workshop will be an exploratory gathering where we play with and talk about all sorts of amazing voice things with an emphasis on exploration. Many individuals feel lost when it comes time to "experiment" and "explore" the voice. This workshop will focus on direct action with voice. Many people will have an opportunity to directly participate so be sure to join us for the fun!
