Course Description

Do you find yourself straining for the higher notes when you sing? Does your throat sometimes get tired or sore after singing for a long time? Do you feel that you have a limited range? Or do you sometimes find yourself running out of breath at the end of a phrase?  All of these problems can be solved through a better understanding of how to breathe properly while singing. Proper breath support and breath management will also increase the size of your voice and enable you to sing with more power and expression and less stress on the throat.  It will even help you to sing more beautifully when you are singing very softly, and it helps to keep your pitch accurate too.

Your breath is the engine which drives your voice.  The ability to access your breath in a natural way is essential to a strong and healthy vocal technique. The study of breathing properly to sing can be very complicated, and even if one understands it scientifically, it can be very tricky to actually implement physically.  It is an area where different voice teachers may have different approaches, some based more on anatomy and some based on using imagery to “trick your brain” into freeing your voice.  Singers who have had little or no formal training often hear phrases like “sing from the diaphragm” or “breathe into your stomach” but many are hard-pressed to actually understand how to apply these ideas to singing.

This course avoids all the complicated theory and cuts right to the heart of the matter. It is simple to understand and simple to apply, and relies on basic fundamentals. The information contained in the course is stuff that any good singer knows about, and comes from conventional wisdom about singing which has been passed down for generations.  No fancy new methods here, just tried and true techniques.

The course is about developing an awareness of good posture and body alignment, and on allowing the breath to flow freely to the voice. It also stresses the importance of maintaining a consistent connection to the diaphragm, and contains exercises to strengthen that connection. 

The goal of the course is to alleviate vocal tension through the proper use of the body and to promote a free and effortless tone by letting the power of the breath do the work for you.

The scale patterns used in the demonstrations and exercises are very easy to learn, and there is plenty of repetition.

the course is good for beginners, i expected a lot more breathing exercises like sshhh or appogio breathing techinique to form a daily routine. thanks

By Freddie Almazan on 1/6/2025

Okay course. Nothing spectacular. I would have liked to see more exercises for daily practice but I suspect that that would be in his other course

By Anna Evitt on 5/8/2021

Coming back to singing after a few years and wanting to avoid developing any bad habits, this is exactly what I was looking for. Very easy to follow and I noticed immediate improvement. Good explanations of why each element is important and I'll definitely be revisiting regularly to practise along with the videos!

By Preethi Sowndharya Venkatesan on 1/1/2021

I have been using this exact exercise for about 2 years every time I practice my singing and it has done wonders for me. I am aware of my breath and which part of my body I'm using. I highly recommend this course. Robert is a great teacher, doesn't beat around the bush and gives very precise instructions.

Another powerful course by the author that cleanses the confusion around correct breathing and singing. This course takes away all the guesswork about breathing and vocalization. Thanks again for taking the time to make this course. My sincere respect for sharing this knowledge with the rest of us. I highly recommend this course. Milton

This is the second course that I have taken with Robert. I would readily encourage any beginner singer to take his courses to help understand the fundamentals of great singing. Robert has an encouraging manner that makes the material interesting and easy to master! There is lots of explanations and tips to help you as you go along. I am looking forward to more of his courses!

By Holly Schermerhorn on 5/29/2018

I really liked the course. I wish the course had more chord exercises, but, it really was a great course overall if you have problems with fast songs and breathing while you sing, this is the course for you. I really recommend his advice and it's really fun for kids who have a dream to sing.

By Sharon Wood on 2/16/2018

This is by far the BEST series I've seen on breathing technique! Robert is engaging and easy to listen to and understand, and his tips and vocalizing exercises help immediately improve the voice! Absolutely fantastic - I highly recommend this course as well as his vocalizing course! A+++!
