In Week 2, you'll learn the truth about singing practice, why you don't have to be able read music in order to sing, and I'll bust a whole bunch of myths about singing that you've probably been told over the years.

I'll take you through different ways to do 5min "silent singing sessions" wherever you are, and how to find hidden pockets of practice time that you can use to give your voice a boost.

I'll introduce you to the idea of Non-Musical Soundmaking: my secret weapon to give beginners access to their voice in a way that removes all the pressure of singing (or sounding "good").

Finally, I'll give you a simple tool to help you track your internal experience and develop a powerful connection to the inner movements of your body (especially subtle, small muscles like the vocal folds).

How you listen to music will determine how it comes out of your mouth, so this module is all about conscious listening.

I'll show you how to add more music into your life, how I use music as a tool to enhance everyday activities, and how to discover new music you've never heard before.

Plus, an easter egg for those who go deep into the course: I've added 11 of my personal playlists, containing hundreds of songs, to give you inspiration and a jumping-off point to make creative playlists of your own.

Next, we'll expand your ears, taking you deep beyond the surface of a song, into the layers that you might be currently missing. This will give you a deeper appreciation and enrich your experience of every song you listen to.

Finally, I'll show you a fun and silent technique to open the throat, and avoid potentially damaging constriction, so that you can continue to explore and expand your range without fear of hurting your voice.

This module goes deeper, showing you easy methods for soundproofing spaces in your home, giving you more confidence to explore your voice in a comfortable place.

I'll take you through a guided vocal yoga sequence, including a series of stretches and simple exercises that help you to tune into your body, and "tune it up" in preparation for singing... finishing up with calming self-massage for your head and neck.

This week, we're going to break the "sound barrier" for the first time (but don't worry, I'm not going to throw you in the deep end).

We're going to use the gentle movement of sighing to help you settle in to making sound in a comfortable, relaxing way.

As you let a sigh become a sound, your voice will naturally feel more comfortable to emerge from hiding, without feeling forced or "pushed" off the diving board.

I've also included two custom-made Spotify playlists (with 4+ hours of songs) that I created as a supportive "soundscape" to help you gradually transition into making sound without feeling totally exposed.

Next, we'll explore the world through the lens of "private practice in public" - a creative, innovative way to find safe spaces outside of the home for you to explore your voice without fear of being heard by those around you.

(If you've already downloaded my free guide, the Secret Sound Excursion, you'll be familiar with this concept.)

I'll share my recommendations for ready-made "secret soundmaking" locations, and you will plan out all the places that may be available to you in your environment - in preparation for next week's exploration.

This week, we explore the unfortunate damage that talent shows like Idol, Got Talent, The Voice, and X Factor can do to your "singing self image".

The normalization of humiliation-based entertainment can make you feel scared to open your mouth, for fear of an invisible panel of judges criticizing your every note.

You might just be singing alone in your room, but hours of exposure to secondhand embarrassment, seeing others branded as "bad singers", can cut off your voice before you even dare to begin.

But what is a "good" or "bad" voice... is there really such a thing?

Then you'll get to experience the magic of Non-Musical Soundmaking, where you'll be surprised to find that the making of strange noises can do more to improve your vocal control than traditional methods like scales, arpeggios, and vocal gymnastics.

I'll take you through a series of vowel and consonant exercises that will give you a feel for how your voice makes sounds, and what each sound feels like to your mouth, lips, jaw, and throat.

You'll experiment with the full spectrum of sounds in creative ways (including my "vocal story" technique to unlock parts of your voice, usually hidden away by fear of embarrassment.)

Finally, you'll take these vocal explorations out into the world as you experience the Sound Excursion that you mapped out in week 5.

This module unpacks the myths and misconceptions about "deep breathing", the role of the diaphragm, and why you probably don't have to think about your breath as much as you may have been told.

I'll also share with you the reason why most of my clients need to work on using less air when they sing, rather than more.

Finally, I'll take you through my "cute puppy" and "whiney toddler" exercise - these take less than 5min each, and are a subtle, quiet way to warm up your voice, gently stretch your vocal folds, and develop the upper part of your range.

If you've ever heard a recording of your voice, and felt like you *never want to speak again*, don't worry, it's completely normal to feel that way.

I'll go into why this is, and why what your perception of what you sound like doesn't reflect what others are actually hearing.

You'll also learn why you should never compare your voice to professionally-recorded, multi-layered vocal tracks (recording studios have powerful tools to enhance, adjust, filter, and "photoshop" the voice in ways that most people aren't aware of).

This week's practice will take you through an exercise that I think of as "pilates for the voice". This exercise builds stability and consistency of your vocal control, in the same way pilates builds stability in your core.

We'll explore how different vowels and pitches change the quality of your sound. This exercise will help you get to know the full range of your voice, and where your "edges" are.

This week is all about keeping your voice healthy, how to protect it against damage, and getting your "hum" on.

You'll learn why drinking water or honey-lemon tea doesn't help your voice as much as you think it might, and why clearing your throat is one of the worst things you can do for your voice (and what I recommend doing instead).

Finally, we're going to do a "hum-along" exercise, which doubles as a quiet way to use your voice, as well as an amazing vocal warm up (I also include a link to a playlist with a bunch of songs that are great to hum to!).

This week, I'll shed more light on how the music industry "photoshops" voices, giving us an unrealistic impression of what a good singing voice should sound like.

When highly processed vocals are all we hear, this can contribute to a poor vocal self image.

The key here is: you should never compare your real-life voice to artificially enhanced studio recordings.

Next, you'll learn how to shape your sound by training the muscles of articulation.

You'll be surprised at the significant improvement in your sound that can result from applying this very simple adjustment to your vocal instrument.

If you find that people often ask you to "speak up", this technique can also help you develop a clear speaking voice that doesn't sound muffled or mumbly.

And now, for my favorite part of the program:

After 10 weeks of developing a new relationship with your voice, you are now ready to use your voice in a creative, fun way!

Using my voice and guitar as a supportive foundation, I'll take you through a guided vocal play exercise, where you'll experience the magic of creative vocal exploration.

We'll use all the simple techniques you've learned over the last 10 weeks - such as long sustained notes, breath-to-sound and humming - to take your soundmaking from "non-musical" to musical.

In the final week, I have a special surprise for you to solidify your new identity as a singer...

...and a challenge (should you choose to accept it).

Now you get to decide where to take your vocal journey from here: whether you're ready to take private lessons, join a choir, or just get your karaoke on with some friends (and I'll offer a list of resources and starting points to help you find your way in your next phase as a singer).

I've personally spent over $30,000 on university and specialized vocal skills training over the last 15 years.

I've been a vocal coach for 10 years, and have worked with more than 500 individuals on developing their vocal ability and relationship with their voice.

Private vocal coaching can set you back anywhere between $80 and $250 per hour, depending on the reputation of the teacher (and how fancy their studio is...) and you usually need at least a dozen lessons to see (and hear) real results.

I originally priced Secret Singing Lessons at $997, and it's packed full of value. However, I received feedback from many folks that they couldn't afford it at that rate.

I want singing to be available to everyone, and I want you to be able to be a part of my mission to change the world, one voice at a time.

So I halved the price.

You can get the entire 12-week Secret Singing Lessons Course for $497, with lifetime access to the videos, guided audios, and PDF guides.

The advantage to taking the course online is that you can learn at your own pace. There's absolutely no pressure to complete the course in 12 weeks - you'll be able to log in anytime and pick up from where you left off.
