WHY DO I NEED THIS TRAINING?

Very, very few people can teach themselves to sing. Most self taught singers incorporate incorrect muscles, and either remain “stuck” in their chest voice, or they sing breathy and weak, using the sound they were taught in chorus class, which definitely does not work in the real world of music!

You need a strong “mix” to be able to compete in today’s vocal market. The mix is the strong upper register, which creates a powerful and exciting sound. Sing Like a Star vocal training will teach you to sing with a healthy, yet powerful vocal production that will develop the sound YOU want to have for the music YOU want to sing!

Many voice teachers are still teaching the outdated “choral” or “classical” styles they were taught in school. They do not know how to train voices for rock, pop, and gospel styles. The saying “if you can sing classical, you can sing anything” is simply not true. You need a different approach to sound current.

There are other teachers who encourage pushing the chest voice too high (“belting”), which results in vocal damage, hoarseness, nodules, and ruined careers.

At Sing Like A Star, you learn how to “mix”, your range expands tremendously, you have great high notes, power and control, and best of all, you are doing all this in a healthy manner so your voice will be spectacular for a lifetime.

WILL I STILL SOUND LIKE MYSELF IF I TRAIN MY VOICE?

YES! Sing Like A Star vocal training will enable you to sing in any musical genre you choose, in a natural and free production, in any style- Rock, R & B, Broadway, Gospel, Jazz, Country, or Classical. Sing Like A Star singers can be found on Broadway, in highly competitive university degree programs throughout the country, and on every major record label, singing in every possible musical style.

Sing Like A Star vocal training teaches you to sing freely and effortlessly in any vocal style with stamina, consistency, emotion, control, and power. We teach you how to be the best YOU, with your unique sound and quality, rather than forcing you to sound like someone else!

In order to access the emotional powerhouse within, you need to have a reliable technique that will allow you to express all your emotions with complete confidence in your vocal instrument. You need to be free to perform from the heart. Training your voice at Sing Like A Star studios will give you the vocal freedom to be a true artist.

WHAT ADDITIONAL TRAINING DO YOU OFFER?

We offer songwriting instruction, keyboard for songwriters, performance coaching, artist development, music theory and audition preparation. Please visit the “Individual Lessons” drop down of the “Services and Rates” page on the website for more information.

We can use skype to do an audio- only lesson, or we can do lessons by speakerphone, facetime, or even cell phone. There really is no reason not to have a lesson, with all these convenient methods available to you!

WHY IS SING LIKE A STAR SO UNUSUAL?

Tricia Grey, MM, and Sing Like A Star Studios bring you over 25 years of professional performing and teaching experience in all areas of voice- pop, rock, R&B, gospel, and classical. We also offer songwriting instruction, demo recording and production, and preparation for university degree programs.

Tricia’s unusual combination of 25 years in the music industry as a professional singer/songwriter along with academic qualifications (Master’s Degree in Music), and referrals of qualified students to music industry connections make Sing Like A Star Studios the only place for you!

HOW QUICKLY CAN I EXPECT TO IMPROVE?

Most students are thrilled with their immediate and dramatic improvement in range, power and tone. The more consistently you practice, the quicker you will see results. The technique works very quickly, but only if you do your part- practicing for a minimum of 30 minutes every day, and taking consistent weekly voice lessons. You will see a dramatic difference within 3-6 months, and within a year, you could have an entirely new voice!

We record the lessons using the SD card, so you can practice at home.

WHAT CAN I DO TO REACH MY GOALS QUICKLY?

The smartest investment in your vocal future is a weekly (or twice weekly) Sing Like A Star voice lesson and daily practice! 30 minutes per day, EVERY day will work miracles. Parents should be aware that most children and teenagers are probably not going to acquire this habit completely on their own. You will need to monitor this new behavior and reinforce positive efforts. Sometimes this habit is acquired slowly, over time, as students begin to see the valuable payoff to good practice habits.
