Singing Voice Training

Discover the true power of your voice.


Singing is as physical as it is creative—an athletic art form that engages hundreds of muscles at once. Think of me as a personal trainer, but for your voice. I help singers uncover their authentic sound and build a strong foundation with techniques that emphasize breath support, resonance, and control. Whether you’re working through challenges with pitch, tone, or stage nerves, I’ll give you practical tools that make a real difference.

 

Having the ability to read music is not required. I work with complete beginners as well as experienced singers who want to sharpen their skills for auditions, performances, or recording. Guitarists who sing—or want to—will also find guidance on blending vocals and playing with ease.

 

No matter your goal—karaoke confidence, audition prep, or simply singing for the joy of it—you’ll find a supportive space to grow your voice. I love seeing students of all ages discover what they’re capable of and step into their own sound.

michael's 8 laws of singing

My 8 Laws of Singing are a comprehensive framework that guides singers toward mastering their natural voice with strength, control, and expressive freedom. They cover every essential element of vocal development—from proper diaphragmatic support and breath control to intonation accuracy, clear enunciation, and open throat technique. The laws also emphasize managing stress and tension, navigating the vocal break (passaggio), and building vocal cord strength and coordination, helping singers achieve both technical precision and emotional authenticity.  I will help you identify each in which you’re already proficient, and strengthen the rest to give you complete control.
 
1. Breathe with Your Whole Body
Use your whole belly area to breathe, not just your chest. This kind of breathing (called diaphragmatic support) is what powers your voice and gives it strength.
 
2. Stay on Pitch
Train your ear and voice to hit each note cleanly—come down on the note instead of sliding up to it. Make every note clear and in tune.
 
3. Make Your Words Clear
People should understand every word you’re singing. Use good pronunciation and crisp, clear diction so your lyrics come through.
 
4. Keep Your Throat Open
Sing with your jaw open, tongue flat, and throat relaxed. Don’t close your lips too much or tighten your throat. This helps your sound come out full and strong.
 
5. Control Your Air
Let your breath out slowly and steadily using your diaphragm. This gives your voice power without pushing and helps your tone ring out naturally.
 
6. Don’t Tense Up
Stay relaxed when you sing—no clenching your neck, shoulders, or face. Let your breath do the work and keep tension out of the way.
 
7. Blend Your Vocal Registers
Move smoothly between chest voice, head voice, and falsetto. Try to keep your tone even across your whole range so your voice sounds connected.
 
8. Strengthen Your Vocal Cords
Just like any other muscle, your vocal cords get stronger with the right exercises. Strong cords help you sing louder, longer, and without strain.

“★★★★★ — Michael’s vocal lessons are incredible!  As a student, I’ve seen his coaching in action—one of our fellow singers won a karaoke contest and took home $500! I was there to witness it, and his energetic, supportive teaching truly makes a difference.  He’s built an amazing community of passionate singers!”

— Sonja C., February 04, 2025

“★★★★★ — Michael has been great to work with! I got with him because I wanted to win a karaoke competition (which I did!). I enjoy the level of detail in his lessons; I would definitely recommend him if you want to take your vocal sound to the next level!”

— Everett B., January 22, 2025

“★★★★★ — I always thought of my singing as okay. When I would listen to a recording of myself, I didn’t think it was bad; but I also didn’t think it was very good. I have no desire to be the next American Idol, but I really wanted to be able to pull out my guitar and sing around the fire or during parties and have people really enjoy it. However, because I lacked confidence in my ability, I had performance anxiety. In fact, I had never sung in front of anybody before. During my very first lesson, Michael gave me the tools and confidence to begin changing that. His approach is both encouraging and insightful. Highly recommended.”

— Kevin W., August 16, 2024

“★★★★★ — Michael is a vocal sound engineer. Just by listening to you, he can tell what needs work, how to do the work, and  the timeframe in which the work will take place. He is a true musician, in its purest form.”

— Patrick J., July 30, 2024

“★★★★★ — Michael is a fantastic teacher!! I have been singing for several years but never had any lessons, and working with Michael has been a joyful and extremely informative experience. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to sing!”

— Yvonne W., December 22, 2023

“★★★★★ — Very personable. Has a very good coaching style. I have only taken one lesson so far and feel very comfortable with Michael as my coach.”

— Ferzan A., December 08, 2023

“★★★★★ — I was hesitant about giving this a go since I’m 57, but the grief singers have caused me as a guitar player in a Rock ’n’ Roll band drove me to do it. I am so glad I did. Mike is great—very positive, and very knowledgeable concerning everything around singing. I am noticing improvement on a weekly basis, and I am excited about the future. He is a great instructor—hire him.”

— Walt M., August 18, 2023

“★★★★★ — First I want to state that Michael works with all levels. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, Michael will help to make you even better. I happen to be a beginner. Michael worked with me to figure out what techniques would best improve my singing. When I started, I could not sing a scale. I could not distinguish between notes. Now, I can definitely do a scale and I can match notes on a piano. My voice and ear keep improving with every lesson.”

— Steph S., June 17, 2022

“★★★★★ — Michael has changed my life! I didn’t even know I had a good singing voice until he heard me being silly one day at a friend’s birthday dinner and expertly critiqued my musical peal of silliness! I was dumbstruck and thrilled but had too much performance anxiety to even sing in front of a teacher. He knew exactly how to work with someone like me, and I am having the absolute time of my life! Michael has the unique ability to begin working with each student exactly where they are, building both skill and confidence.”

— Jennifer J., February 05, 2020
