subject: THE BEST METOD OF SINGING YOU CAN GET IN YOUR LIFE [print this page] Marjorie's Story Marjorie's Story
Hello, my name is Marjorie Searcy and I am a singer. "Hello Marjorie." Sounds like a warm welcome to a 12-step program doesn't it? Well, I kind of felt like that. I wanted to be a great singer, especially of popular styles (jazz, rock, country, pop), but I couldn't quite do it. I knew how to sing in the classical, "head voice" approach and I knew how to have a pretty cool sound singing popular songs that were down low (in my "chest voice"), but when I tried to sing a challenging pop song that had any higher notes in it, I would "flip" over to my head voice and sound like an opera singer trying to sing R and B. Not good.
I was afraid of that "break" in my voice and when I would approach it, I would wimp out and sound pitiful. Here I was with a college degree in music and still having the same problems I was having in high school. I didn't think there was a different way to sing. I thought this is just the way I was made and there was anything I could do about it.
Then I met a vocal "guru." He showed me a different way.The light bulbs went off as I began doing exercises that taught my voice to "blend" the low and high parts of my voice. A whole new world of singing opened up to me. Gradually as I learned to sing in this "Middle Part" of my voice, my confidence grew. I had a low voice, a high voice and a MIDDLE VOICE that bridged the two. That was the beginning of my journey to being the singer I always wanted to be.
Soon I began to see how help other people with the same issues. I developed more exercises and techniques to compliment what I learned from the guru. As I started to teach other singers, the method worked. This method, THE MIDDLE VOICE METHOD, is what I have used to teach hundreds of singers. Now is it available for YOU to become the singer you want to be.
