Core Vocal Power

CORE Vocal Power is 25+ years worth of my vocal successes, failures and ever-refining process of helping thousands of singers, actors and speakers gain voices that go far beyond what they could have imagined. It is a unique, structured formula that teaches you how to have self-mastery over your instrument, which essentially is all of you–not just your vocal cords.

C.O.R.E is a powerful acronym that serves as a structure by which performers can have an empowered voice. It gives singers an opportunity to have a very well-rounded instrument, which means they will have the mental and emotional stability to perform, as well as the physical.

Basically, CORE Vocal Power raises the bar for all singing programs because most of them only will provide the last step–Exercises. In this program, you work equally in all four steps to give you a solid foundation to sing from.

The four integrative steps of the C.O.R.E. Vocal Power® method, are:

In school, they didn't teach me how to not care about what other people think, and overcome nerves, or how to stop my voice from sounding weak in certain situations. They didn't teach me how to gain the mental clarity I needed to commit to the message of the song, and how to win over an audience. But they expected me to do it.

Somehow I managed to audition every semester and stay in the program, but even after graduating, I was unable to make sense of why I could pull off certain singing events with power and grace, yet other times–like at important auditions, I experienced a shaky, voice which seemed to betray me. I knew there was something missing. Something I wasn't taught. So...after I graduated and moved to LA and performed in a couple of shows, I went on hiatus and decided to work on myself and read all the self-help books I could find, study with world-renown coaches, and research every vocal technique known to humankind.

The result is an ever-evolving system, now known as C.O.R.E. Vocal Power®, the World's Leading-Edge Holistic Approach to Empowered Singing.

C.O.R.E. Vocal Power® teaches the student to master THEIR VOICE in 3 Ways:

The psychological, which assists students in recognizing and shifting negative thought patterns in the MIND, and replacing them with positive, empowering ones. This allows singers and speakers to feel connected, present, and confident.

  • Helps improve: pitch issues, rhythm issues lack of clarity, self sabotage, confidence, remembering lyrics, improvisation, control issues, vocal awareness, ability to tell a story, etc.

 The SOUL,which allows the performer to connect powerfully to the energy of their voice, energy their voice, and commit to the emotional message of the song, or performance.

  • Helps improve: nerves, anxiety, sensitivity, feeling empathic, a weak voice, energy blocks, balancing emotional energy, lack of stage presence, healing, etc.

The BODY, where performers learn to master their VOICE and receive specific exercises tailored to the vocal muscle memory and physical stamina needed

  • Helps improve: weak voice, larynx stability, range, vocal blowout, lack of stamina, vocal coordination, vibrato, runs, riffs, vocal flexibility, dynamics, stylization, movement, power, etc. 

Your questions answered

What is your CORE voice?
Your CORE Voice is the true, authentic, free voice. When you sing from your CORE, you are 100% present, you accept your voice 100%, and you feel 100% safe doing just about anything with it. (Example: vocal runs, riffs, harmony and improvisation).
When you sing from your CORE Voice, you don’t have to worry about hurting it because you’re using a balanced instrument. You have complete command over your voice and it expresses through the real you.
Your CORE Voice doesn’t have to be a “perfect” voice, but once you discover it, your voice will continue to evolve from this true foundation.
What are the benefits of developing your CORE voice?
Sing freely without being nervous or “micro-managing” your voice
Begin to build upon the character of your voice
Create your own vocal signature
Add nuances such as vocal stylization, color, texture, richness, intonation, resonance and power. Usually, these nuances show up as a natural part of your voice, but can be accentuated as you create your own style–always honoring the message of the song.
Sing from the truest part of yourself in any situation
What is CORE Vocal Power philosophy?
The philosophy of CORE Vocal Power® is that when you strengthen and refine what’s on the inside (CORE), you benefit on the outside (VOCAL POWER).
Instead of beginning with physical exercises, you are first guided to learn powerful tools that will prepare you mentally and emotionally, so that when you do learn the technical exercises, you will have a solid foundation and you won’t fall into the common traps of becoming too mechanical, nervous, or damaging your voice. These CORE foundation tools are vital to helping you deliver an engaging performance with vocal mastery.
When you do the CORE work, you discover how naturally powerful and dynamic your voice truly is. You will take it to new heights beyond your imagination while you learn how to use the inner muscle that opens the door to inspiration, and brilliance.
Unlike many vocal training programs, CORE Vocal Power® doesn’t require conformity or surrender of your uniqueness, but instead, enhances it.
Many people who use this program have experienced the benefits of having that extra focus, connectedness and singing power that gives them a professional edge over other performers and speakers.
