Brava! Adele!! On Adele’s website, she says, “Oh goodness!! I’m absoloutly flabbergasted! In between laughing my head off, welling up, needing to sit down and trying to maintain an open fire (which is pretty much impossible huh!?) I keep having flashbacks to Sunday night. The most incredible night of my life. Thank you to you all, I am so overwhelmed, it’s the strangest feeling. I ...

The music world is saddened by the untimely death of Whitney Houston, named ‘The Voice’ for her powerful and gorgeous singing. Over the last several years though, the voice was in great decline probably due to drug and alcohol abuse. Whitney’s voice was not only her identity but also her fame and fortune.

I avoid Karaoke nights like the plague. It’s a bus man’s holiday for me because I’m a singing teacher and when I hear amateur singers, I immediately know how I would use Sing Like You Speak™ to improve their singing.

Talking with a student yesterday during her lesson about using breath release to keep the voice healthy, I had to mention Audra McDonald as a great example. Here’s what I mean: when you sing a word that begins with a vowel, such as “I”, which you do quite often, the tendency is to start the “I” in the throat.
