Are Your Fears and Doubts Preventing Your From Achieving Musical Success?

If the title of this blog post rings true, then my latest book, Mind over Music was written for you!

Mind over Musicwas born when my curiosity got the best of me. You see, my friend, Joe Vitale (The Secret, At Zero, Anything Is Possible) was never a musician, but he loved music so much that at the end of 2010, he decided he wanted to learn to sing, play guitar, write music, and release an album.

I’m Loving my iRig Pro I/O

Hello singers, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged about IK Multimedia. In truth, it’s not because I don’t still love the company. I just haven’t needed any new equipment for some time. Well, the time for new equipment is now, and I want to tell you about my latest purchase, the iRig Pro I/O, a portable audio/MIDI interface that allows you to connect any musical instrument, microphone, or MIDI…

Superior Sinus Health

Hey singers, just a little log to tell you about a new spray I found for singers who suffer from sinus issues, I, being one of them. When I sneeze, it is like a cat stuck on repeat. I will sneeze 60 to 70 times. It is the one thing tat really messes up my voice. I’ve been a Neti Pot user for years and it indeed helps, but I still needed something this year to help me overcome these random sneeze…

What is a pocketVox???

After two years, I guess I can come clean…During the summer of 2014, while performing on a television show in Tokyo, Japan, I had a shard of wineglass pierce the back of my throat as the glass exploded in my hand from the sound of my voice. It felt like a terrible bite and I could taste blood, but I ignored it, smiled, and went on, as we were in the middle of filming. Later that night in my hotel…

Best of the Best for Singer's: Vocal Insanity by James Lugo

Best of the Best for Singer’s: Vocal Insanity by James Lugo

Anyone who knows me knows that I support a lot of vocal coaches. But, when it comes to publishing a vocal coaching product other than my own, I am very picky about who I will work with to release a new vocal product. This is because I have a very strong work ethic and moral obligation to promote coaches who are on the same mindset as myself. When I discover a coach that has amazing work ethic, is…

Best of the Best for Singers: Reach for the Top-The Musician’s Guide to Health, Wealth, and Success by Timothy Jameson;Doctor of Chiropractic

Few know that I almost ended my vocal career back in 2002 as I was writing my first book. As fate would have it, I ruptured two discs in my neck, and not knowing for another week, thinking it was only a stiff neck, I finally felt the full extent of what I had done. The numbness in my neck changed from stiff neck to severe pain, the numbness moving down my left arm enveloping it in whole, as well…

Are Songwriter's and Fiction Writer's Brains Wired the Same?

Are Songwriter’s and Fiction Writer’s Brains Wired the Same?

Songwriters and fiction writers both live in fantasy worlds. Since I’m from both camps, having written and released songs, as well as written fiction novels, I can safely say that “we” (fiction writers and songwriters) live in this fantasy world of vivid imagination as our words spill out onto paper or into Word, whether we’re telling a tale of past loves through our lyrics or painting a picture…

How to Write a book (Fiction or Non-Fiction) in Seven Days

Hello singers…Many of my fans only know me as a vocal coach and author of Raise Your Voice, a singer, and an occasional glass breaker, ha-ha, but there is so much more to than meets the eyes. I’m a jack of many trades, but If I am being honest, my favorite trade is writing. I’ve had the writing bug since I was a child, and after spending years writing non-fiction books like Raise Your…

A Mobile Rig for Singers? (Part 1)

Absolutely!!! You CAN have your own vocal rig for recording and for the stage to complete your vocal setup without costing you an arm and a leg. Technology has grown by leaps and bounds in only a few years. Now the latest iPhones are as powerful as the PCs of 10-15 years ago. I remember using the DAW once known as Cool Edit Pro on my old Pentium II PC to record songs, recalling how slow and…

You Should Just Give Up Singing… How To Deal With Criticism – Guest Post by Benny Valenzuela

Benny Valenzuela is one of my students and my marketing manager. He found an article in his Facebook news feed after another one of my students, Henry Crescini, commented on a post by another vocal coach. The other coach said some things that aren’t very nice about shattering glass with your voice. I don’t mind being criticized, I get called names all the time, haha. It doesn’t bother me, I just…

I am NOT a Master Vocal Coach!

Over the past ten years or so, I’ve quietly watched a trend developing in the vocal coaching community, which has caused me to shy away from many of my peers. I say this not out of disrespect to any other coach, nor to start some argument. I say it simply because I am not an aggressive person and the trends I’ve seen are just not my style. For some reason, vocal coaching has become a competitive…

So, let me start by saying that I’ve written a lot about vocal health, discussed the issue with various doctors, even published the book Superior Vocal Health by David Aaron Katz (superiorvocalhealth,com) because I…
