John Mayer

Donat Barbe — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 00:22:20 +0000

John Mayer deserves the Featured Artist spot. He is an inspiration to all the young singer-songwriters who believe they have what it takes to make it. John is the “real deal”. He has spent his entire life so far perfecting his guitar playing, writing, performing, and singing skills. He still warms up every single day with Roger’s exercises and the results “sing” for themselves. For more info go to www.johnmayer.com

Sarah Brightman is the biggest selling soprano of all time. Roger worked with Sarah on the upcoming REPO movie. Her latest album is called Symphony. It is a beautiful collection of all that is unique and amazing about this legendary singer. Few performing artists have sustained a chart-topping career spanning three decades. And fewer still can lay claim to a career that has so boldly conquered the separate areas of dance, pop, rock, musical theatre, classical and world music. www.sarah-brightman.com

Voice lessons are not about talent

Donat Barbe — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:49:33 +0000

Every time we open our mouths to speak or sing we are affecting ourselves and the people hearing us. By opening up your voice to its greatest possibilities, you will experience positive changes both physically and emotionally. Change the way you sound and enjoy the success it will bring to you.

Drop your jaw

Donat Barbe — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:48:33 +0000

Most people simply do not open their mouths enough to let the sound come out unobstructed. I do not mean that you should smile and go very wide. I want you to simply drop your jaw down a bit and not keep your teeth so close together. This will send more sound into the cheek area where it will bounce around and come out more resonant and full.

Use melody

Donat Barbe — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:34:13 +0000

When you sing a song the melody is important. Why is it that most people are singing boring songs. They stay on one note, they have no interesting dynamics, and they bore the listener. I say, pretend you are singing while you are speaking. Move it around, shake it up, swoop, dive, soar. Let your voice be as interesting as you are?
