Learn the same singing technique used by more than 300 of the best and brightest stars in the recording and entertainment  industry over the past 20 years, which has amassed more than 140 Grammys, 12 Tonys, and 8 Metropolitan Opera Soloist Awards.

This technique, which builds on 35 years of study of Seth Riggs' Speech Level Singing Technique, allows the performer the vocal freedom to sing with ease through their entire range, high or low, loud or soft, without strain, no matter the genre or style of music.

Learn to sing as easily as you speak with one connected voice without fear of “cracking” in the break or running out of air at the end of phrases.

“This technique is for anyone wanting vocal freedom in a relatively short period of time. I teach in a way that allows a performer to sing with the same comfortable, easily produced voice one uses, or should use, when simply speaking because, in fact, singing is nothing more than elongated speech. No matter if you are singing high, low, loud or soft, nothing should feel different in your mouth or throat than well produced speech. Your tone and the words you sing will always feel natural to you and sound natural to your audience.”
