Discover Your Voice - Recording Revolution Special Enrollment

In Week 1, I walk you through finding your comfortable range and “placing” your voice—which is the necessary first step to singing like a pro. You’ll also learn how to keep your voice healthy for life with some key tips on vocal care. Specifically, you’ll learn:

• How to use “visualization” to make singing effortless. (The reason that singing is so easy for great singers is because they can visualize the “sweet spots” in their voice… in this lesson I teach you exactly how they do it.)
• The popular beverage that is AWFUL for your vocal cords. (Almost everyone drinks this… but any good singer will tell you it’s terrible for your vocals for many reasons.)
• How to eat to manage acid reflux. (I used these techniques to limit the acid reflux medication my doctor prescribed to me… and although my doctor told me I’d need surgery at one point, because of a few odd techniques I use, it hardly affects my voice anymore.)
• How to “speak like a singer”. (Ironically, a lot of vocal damage comes from improper SPEAKING technique… and simply perfecting your speaking voice can help your singing immensely.)
• Why resting can be the WORST thing you can do for your voice… (And what to do instead.)
• How to clear phlegm from your throat WITHOUT clearing your throat. (Most vocal coaches will tell you that clearing your throat is horrible for you – and it is! – but almost no one talks about alternative ways to move mucus out of your throat safely.)
• How to know if you have “silent reflux”… and what to do about it. (“Silent reflux” is a form of acid reflux that goes completely unnoticed in a lot of people—holding a lot of singers back… in Discover Your Voice, I teach you how to identify it and what to do about it.)
• My take on common acid reflux medication. (I wish I knew this years ago… it’s affected me for life…)
• When you should opt for vocal surgery. (I take a different stance on this than many vocal coaches… if you have any serious vocal damage, you need to hear this.)
• The relationship between stress and the stomach… and how to manage both. (Believe it or not, stress can affect your voice ENORMOUSLY… in Discover Your Voice, I teach you my personal techniques for constantly keeping my stress levels low and my voice in top shape!)
• And a whole lot more!

Week 2 is all about “body awareness”… that is, becoming aware of tension in areas in the WHOLE body—not just the throat. Because it turns out that a lot of what causes vocal stress and tension in newer singers has more to do with the rest of the body than the vocal cords themselves… In this module, you’ll learn:

• How to identify and release “tension spots” in your singing voice. (Oftentimes, the problems that singers have are the result of a few key “tension spots” in their voices… in this lesson, I teach you how to find and eliminate them as quickly as possible.)
• My 3-step framework for releasing tension in the body & voice. (One of the biggest problems that new singers have is releasing tension in the voice AND the body… but this 3-step system makes it incredibly easy.)
• The common problem that causes guitar players to “choke” while trying to sing. (There’s a weird thing that happens to the body when trying to sing and play guitar at the same time… if you sing and play guitar at the same time, this could change everything for you.)
• How to REALLY sing from the diaphragm. (When a lot of people learn about singing from the diaphragm, they do it completely wrong… but once you learn how to “neutralize” the breath, all tension will release and singing with the diaphragm becomes second nature.)
• How to use the breath to make your speaking voice healthier. (Speaking improperly can quickly fatigue the voice… but once you understand this trick, your singing AND speaking voice will become much healthier and longer-lasting.)
• How to “link” the breath and the voice. (A lot of coaches will teach you how to breathe… and then leave you to put the pieces together on your own. In this lesson, I teach you how to breathe, and walk you through the steps to apply it to your singing.)
• And a lot more…

Week 3 is the first introduction to the “bridge” sounds I talked about earlier. This is where we really begin the process of “discovering” your voice. In this module, you’ll learn:

• How to “relax” your way into powerful, gritty belts. (When people first start learning how to sing, they think that adding distortion to the voice is a matter of force… but really, it’s a lot more relaxing than they think.)
• How to position your tongue & soft palate to “unlock” your full range. (A lot of the time, newer singer’s voices are essentially “blocked” by the tongue and soft palate… learning how to get them out of the way can unlock multiple new high notes instantly.)
• My 5-step process to blend all your singing registers into a single voice. (For a lot of people, it can feel like the voice is “split into two”… but when you learn this process, your voice will almost immediately become completely unified.)
• How imitating cartoon characters can unlock your voice’s full potential. (The voices of these 5 specific cartoon characters are my favorite “bridge” sounds… and you can use them to learn just about any singing style you want!)
• How to find your “mixed voice” effortlessly & safely. (If you’ve ever had problems blending your registers, you NEED to see this…)
• And a lot more…

In Week 4, you’ll learn how to transform common spoken phrases into musical riffs. When pro singers say that singing is just as easy as speaking for them, it’s because they’ve approached singing gently, the way that I’ll teach you in this module. More specifically, you’ll learn:

• How to use “mini songs” to start composing your own melodies and phrases… even if you have zero musical experience. (Like I said, this course is about becoming a MUSICIAN… and these mini songs are a perfect place to start.)
• A simple way to master jumping from your head voice to chest voice. (One thing that I see beginners struggling with constantly is the ability to jump effortlessly between their head voice and chest voice without cracking… in this module, I use a commonly spoken 5-word phrase to teach you just that!)
• How to sing loudly without fatiguing the voice. (Belting should be just as easy as yelling to your friend across the street… and in this lesson, we “bridge” those two concepts to make your belts effortless.)
• An easy way to “dip your toes in” as a songwriter. (Everyone has to start somewhere… and in this module, I walk you through how to come up with unique melodies over just about any backing track.)
• How to make singing as effortless as speaking. (The reason rockstars can go up on stage night after night is because they may as well be talking… once you understand this, you’ll be able to sing just as easily.)
• And a lot more…

In Week 5, we start working with the major scale—which any musician will need to understand at some point in their career—and start learning an easy way to identify pitches by ear. We’ll also begin to slowly grow your range so you can start accessing those coveted high notes. In this module, you’ll learn:

• The weird “quiet” way to stretch your range. (This technique is basically the opposite of what most people would do to grow their range… which is probably why it works so well.)
• The first step to learning to sing by ear. (There are a few specific intervals that make up the “building blocks” of all music… in this lesson, we begin to learn how to recognize them by ear.)
• A game you can play to cement your “singing by ear” skill. (Games make it way easier to learn things… and this one will cement your knowledge of musical intervals…)
• The “color by numbers” method of internalizing the major scale. (As a singer, it’s important to have musical intervals “internalized” so that you can create melodies on command. In this lesson, I teach you a quick “numerical” guide to the major scale to help quicken that memorization.)
• How to find the “confidence notes” that sound best in your particular voice. (If you listen carefully, every pro singer has a few “confidence notes” where their particular voice really shines. In this lesson, I’ll help you identify those notes so that you can milk them for all they’re worth!)
• And a lot more…

In Week 6, we take some time to focus on the role your face plays in your singing voice (hint: it’s a big one), and walk through a few ways you can get feedback on your voice to double the speed of your growth. In this module, you’ll learn:

• The anatomy of the inner face… and how each part affects the sound of your voice. (A lot of newer singers rush past fundamentals like this… but the truth is that your favorite singer probably knows how to utilize every single muscle in their face and throat to get the sounds they want.)
• In-depth instructions on how to configure the face to master your singing voice. (More specifically, you’ll learn a quick system for how to move different parts of the face, mouth and throat to change the sound you produce.)
• An introduction to recording your singing voice. (If you ever want to be a pro singer, or even make music as a hobby, you NEED to know how to record yourself… and this lesson teaches you the first step.)
• How to fix specific “ugly” sounds in your voice. (A lot of newer singers make these specific “ugly” sounds… and in this module, I show you the “shortcut” to turning them into powerful belts.)
• A simple way to gauge your voice WITHOUT recording yourself. (This trick is great for people who don’t have a microphone to record themselves with… because anyone with two arms can do it.)
• And a lot more…

Week 7 is all about training your brain to be a “musician’s brain”… that is, a machine that can spit out melodies, harmonies, and amazing riffs on the spot. In this module, you’ll learn:

• My 4-step process for getting the sound you want out of the voice. (This is the point in the course where we start to bring everything together… and turn bad sounds into GOOD sounds.)
• How to “create relationships” with different notes to make singing by ear effortless. (If you want to compose music, you’ll need to learn how different intervals sound… and more importantly, FEEL. “Creating relationships” with different notes is the way to do that.)
• How to stop yourself from choking on weird words when singing. (A lot of singers have words and vowels that trip them up and create massive tension in their voices… But if you break words down into these 2 elements, and you’ll be able to navigate around any weird words you come across in a song.)
• How to train your ear to become a “harmony machine”. (In this lesson, I explain the building blocks of music… and once you understand them, your ear will naturally begin to pick out harmonies from a song on its own!)
• How to “pre-place” notes in certain areas of the voice so you don’t have to think about it later. (Pro singers have this down pat… they don’t have to “think” about where a note is in their voice… they just do sing it! In this lesson, I’ll teach you how to “program” that into your brain.)
• And a lot more…

In Week 8 we begin to tackle rhythm. This is something that a lot of singers don’t think about… until they get a polite tap on a shoulder from someone telling them that they’re totally off-beat in a song. In this module, you’ll learn:

• How to “internalize” rhythm in your body & mind. (The reason why some people “just have rhythm” is because rhythm is so internal to their body and mind that they don’t have to think about it. In this lesson, I’ll teach you how to achieve the same thing.)
• 3 specific ways to “enter” a note to completely relieve tension and add expressiveness to your singing. (Most singers focus solely on holding a note… but it’s equally important to know how to safely and confidently BEGIN a note.)
• The 5-note scale that sets the stage for vocal improvisation. (Ever wonder how singers can go on for hours just making stuff up over a chord progression? It’s because they’ve “internalized” certain scales… and in this lesson, I teach you a simple scale you can use to improvise over almost any song.)
• 6 grooves you can use to discover your own unique singing rhythm. (I’ve even included downloadable groove tracks so that you can practice as much as you’d like…)
• The “lazy man’s” way to learn how to riff like the pros. (Learning to riff in this particular way makes it almost effortless…)
• And a lot more…

In Week 9, we focus on melody & harmony. One of the most amazing things a singer can do is harmonize with another singer… and this skill is crucial if you ever want to play music with other people. In this module, you’ll learn:

• How to internalize specific harmonies so you can sing them on “autopilot”. (As a singer, you’ll hear different chords and need to react without thinking… this is how you do it.)
• How to pick out chords by ear. (If you want to play along with a band or just jam with other musicians, this is a crucial skill to have.)
• How to train your brain to “hear” harmonies that aren’t there. (Every pro singer can do this… and it’s the key to being able to harmonize on command during a jam session or in a studio.)
• How to create your own harmonies over existing songs. (I’ve even included 14 audio tracks you can use to practice…)
• A weird “mechanical” way to write hit melodies, even if you’re not creative at all. (If you ever wondered how Beethoven could write despite the fact that he’s deaf, this is how he did it.)
• And a lot more…

In Week 10, we finish mastering harmony and start getting to work on vocal distortion. This part of the program will be huge for any of you rock and metal singers out there! In this module, you’ll learn:

• How to use the most annoying sound in the world to grow your range. (This sound will drive most people crazy within seconds… but with one “tweak”, you can use it to unlock your range in ways you never thought possible.)
• The difference between “false cord” and “fry” style distortion. (And how to use both of them to distort your singing in different ways.)
• How to scream completely effortlessly. (Just like singing, screaming shouldn’t “stress” your vocals at all… if screaming has ever been a struggle for you, this is the training for you.)
• A “follow along” walkthrough to recording your first song. (All you need is a phone with a voice recorder and you can start composing your own music right here and now!)
• How to distort your vocals by using LESS air. (A lot of people think you need to blast a ton of air into your vocal cords to distort your singing… but in this lesson, I’ll show you how using LESS air can be more effective.)
• And a lot more…

In Week 11, you’ll completely master the blending of your head voice and chest voice, so that you never have to worry about your voice cracking at a key moment during a song. In this module, you’ll learn:

• My “one-stop” routine for warming up your entire voice. (I’ve used this specific technique for years, and it’s prevented me from suffering any vocal damage despite singing almost every day.)
• The song you can use to blend your head and chest registers perfectly. (I believe in learning by doing, and this song is designed to make your head to chest blend completely seamless.)
• How you can overcome your vocal break by purposely “breaking” your voice. (Ironically, when you purposely “break” your voice in this specific way, it can lead to a much clearer, more powerful mixed voice.)
• How to connect a great singing tone to the FEELING of singing well. (The whole point of this program is to internalize the feeling of singing so you never have to think about it again… this is the first step to singing as effortlessly as the pros do.)
• A “follow-along” training you can use to maximize your range. (In this training, I show you all the common mistakes people make in trying to sing higher and how to overcome them… all you have to do is follow along with me!)
• And a lot more…

In Week 12, we wrap up the program by covering how to stretch your range to its limits and stylize your singing with articulations and vibrato. In this module, you’ll learn:

• My simple rule for taking care of your voice. (Above all else, follow THIS rule if you want your voice to stay powerful for your entire life.)
• How to modify your vowels so that your voice never “breaks” again. (There are specific vowel placements that make it easier to sing high notes… in this lesson, I explain how place vowels at the different areas of your voice to maximize your range.)
• A way to “accidentally” hit your highest notes. (In this lesson, we use a VERY annoying “bridge” sound to help you accidentally hit the highest notes in your range.)
• How to train your voice to be as dynamic as your favorite singers. (The best singers out there can sing loudly and softly with the same amount of precision… in this lesson, I’ll teach you a few “bridge” sounds you can use to develop a masterful dynamic voice.)
• The effortless way to “fall” into POWERFUL vibrato. (Vibrato should be effortless… and with this technique, vibrato becomes so natural that you can “fall” into it on command.)
• And a lot more…
