Objectives

The objectives of any singing method are to develop artists with an amazing vocal technique and unique interpretive ability by which they can sustain a long career. Your technique should be more than sufficient to realize your dreams regardless of your chosen genre, be it classical, Broadway, pop, gospel, R&B, soul, blues, jazz, or country.

Singers with a solid technique have a uniform sound from high to low and the ability to sing at any dynamic level throughout their range. A good technique also involves clear diction of vowels and consonants and a variety of colours in order to express a wide range of emotions while singing.

Your technique should allow you to sing easily for an hour or two per day without too much fatigue. The measure of fatigue is the level to which singing affects your speaking voice (hoarseness, raspiness, the raising or lowering of pitch in your speaking voice) during the current day and, more importantly, the following day. Vocal damage is cumulative. Being vocally tired from singing is normal. The question really is, do you allow yourself to recover adequately? If your voice hasn’t completely recovered after a good night’s sleep, you overdid it. Take another day off. Singers who get into vocal trouble (lose their voice, have nodules or bowed cords, etc.) routinely overdo it and are unaware of the fatigue in their throats. You must become acutely aware of what your throat is telling you to stay in top vocal shape.
