Hello to nearly 3000 new followers! I am thrilled to have you here 🎉😊

My name is Susie 👋I am an opera singer based in Ireland and I set up the vocal health coach at the beginning of 2024 to help other singers and professional voice users struggling with voice problems and vocal tension.

I had experienced my own voice issues with Muscle Tension Dysphonia and Vocal cord nodules and luckily I was able to recover fully with support from professionals and my own research and work.

I am a trained vocal habilitation professional and I am hugely passionate about helping singers experience more freedom and ease.

Singing SHOULD feel easy and open and enjoyable.

SO TELL ME 🙌🫶 What can I help you with? Is there anything in particular you are looking to change in your singing? Comment below! 👇👇

Dropping your jaw is VERY important….

BUT like everything we need to make sure we are doing it in the most efficient, anatomically correct way possible which means being mindful to open at the Tempero-Mandibular Joint which is right in front of your ear canal!

In fact, if you find this opening - it might even feel like you have opened up the space that ‘pops’ when you are on a plane (and it feels excellent) 🤣

We need to allow the jaw to just hang open and then it can respond and open further as we ascend in our range.

If we are opening using our CHIN we will close off this space at the back which can contribute to many other issues such as difficulty reaching higher pitches, tongue tension, constricted pharynx etc.

For years I was always told to ‘drop my jaw’ but NOONE taught me what this feeling actually was until I started investigating for myself 🫠🫠

Give this a go and let me know in the comments if it works for you 👇

The basics are EVERYTHING

Check in with your basics today:

How are your onsets?
How are your dynamic changes?
Are you changing pitch effectively or are you getting stuck?
Is your ‘support’ working for you or is it switched off?

Spending 5 minutes a day on simple technical exercises will do more for your voice than any complicated routine.

And I promise you , you will be amazed at how your singing improves overall!!

What basics are you working on?

If in doubt - keep it simple!

Particularly if you have to build up the coordination or you are working through any voice issues.

And what is even MORE important than a simple exercise?

Consistency. Repeating it over and over again until your body, your brain, your voice and your nervous system know what is going on.

Simplicity
Consistency
Repeat

It always comes back to basics, particularly if you have been struggling with tension or fatigue in your voice or you have been experiencing technical issues for some time.

We don’t need MORE gadgets or straws or magic exercises or potions - we need to do the simple things WELL.

Ask yourself:
- how’s your siren?
- how’s your messe di voci?
- how are your onsets?
- how does your ‘support’ feel?

If the answers to these questions are : shaky, uncertain, difficult, pushed or forced. THAT is where we start.

My 6 Month Vocal Confidence Programme closes its doors next week and it is for singers who want to finally get clarity, clean up their technique and experience easy singing again.

Comment VOICE if you are ready to find vocal ease, easier high notes and more freedom. My 6 Month Vocal Confidence Programme is open for enrolment and is for high level singers struggling with fatigue or tension.

I’m a vocal health coach who has helped numerous singers struggling with tension AND I have recovered myself.

It is a process, it takes time and it requires patience. Start by paying attention to your behaviours and habits. Notice how you are breathing and holding yourself.

We only sing for a small portion of the day. What we do 99% of the time makes such a difference.

Comment BOOK to chat to me further about your voice issues and I can explain more about how I work and what my 6 Month Vocal Confidence Programme involves 👇

This is not about pushing more or using 1000 metaphors to help you find freedom. It is about clear instruction, precise exercises and guidance so you can find your voice again. There is no one size fits all. It is a programme for you and your voice.

Let’s all remember this. Your air and sound work TOGETHER (alongside resonance, articulation etc) to produce the sound you want. One does not take precedence over the other. We need to find a good balance between the two so we can experience that freedom we want.

Compensatory behaviours happen if we are experiencing difficulty in how our breathing is working and also if our larynx isn’t very happy. It is a two way street.

Confusion in our technique happens when we are trying to do too many things at once. My advice? 1. Focus on how you are producing your sound first THEN Learn how your breath supports that properly.

By going back to basics and working on both of these elements and then coordinating them to work in tandem we find the magic and we find freedom 💫

PS singing doesn’t have to be confusing or hard. It should be enjoyable and easy 💖

Early bird pricing ends tomorrow for my 6 Month Vocal Confidence Programme. DM me SIX if you want to sign up at the lowest price!
