How to Create Peace and Clarity in Your CORE

How to Overcome Anxiety Using Breath and Intention
Using the power of Breath and Intention, to Empower Your Voice Though I have always been a musically expressive person, when I first heard about the chakras, I actually did not believe they were real. The idea of having seven major points that governed certain organs in my body, radiating different colors and notes, and spinning clockwise when in balance seemed strange to me. It was not taught to me in school (as it is to children in India) and …
Vocal Olympics
Have you been watching the Olympics? https://corevocalpower.com/vocal-olympics-tay-zonday/ Even though they’ve been around forever, I still think it’s exciting to see the world come together in a way that brings unity because people are actually genuinely interested in watching another person who has disciplined themselves to excel in what they do.

My Biggest Singing Exercise on Trust…
A couple years ago I was just fiddling around at home with the two songs “Don’t Worry Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin, and “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes and I realized the two songs are pretty similar. I created an arrangement doing all the vocal parts a cappella on my GarageBand and then last year I was in Sedona Arizona, and was playing up in the lovely mountains and just for fun, decided to grab some footage en route, …
Secrets of Singing Outside
https://youtu.be/kbYCbPtUAx0 One of the most popular questions my students ask me, is how to warm up their voice so they do not hurt themselves. There are many techniques a person can do, including the exercises in my Practicing CORE Vocal Power CD, but if you want to get the most out of your vocal warm ups, the location of where you sing is also an important factor to consider. Oftentimes, singers are afraid that other people will hear them when …

https://youtu.be/gG_Jw67es_U Connecting Voice and Nature When’s the last time you went out into nature? Walked around barefoot in the grass or sand? Smelled the air? or Felt the breeze? If you haven’t spent time in nature recently and you feel out of alignment I’ve got a wonderful tip for you! A great way to get into alignment with the earth is to go barefoot and stand in the earth. Then take in a silent loving breath and resonate on “Oh”. …
Can Anyone Learn to Sing?
Can Anyone Learn to Sing? Dot Teaches Hearing Impaired Student to Sing! (Listen to Before & After Audio Tracks!) When this young man called me, and asked if I would work with someone who was hearing impaired, I thought “Well, why not?” If what I knew was true about pitch issues, and, like Arthur Joseph taught me, “singing has more to do with the brain and muscle memory than hearing,” and “less than 2% of the population is ‘tone deaf'”, then why can’t I …
