Episode: Voice Liberation Method Update + The Power of Resonance
In this voice note, I check in with you on a Thursday to share some exciting news: I’m about to record the very last video of the Voice Liberation Method course. It’s been weeks of intense work and I’m really proud of what’s inside.
What’s in the Voice Liberation Method: Each of the 7 weeks includes approximately 75 minutes of content broken into short, digestible videos covering a psychological/mindset lesson, a vocal technique exercise, a speech exercise, and a guided visualization set to original music. Each visualization is inspired by a different chakra point and a stage of the hero’s journey — starting with the root chakra and safety in Week 1, and building toward arriving home transformed by the end.
This Month’s Community Theme: Resonance. Resonance is the ability to be heard across a room with ease — using your natural resonators (the bones in your face, chest, and skull) to project sound without strain. I also think of resonance as your vocal “sparkle.” When you’re feeling dull or shut down, your tone goes flat. When you lift your cheeks into what I call the “phony smile,” you unlock that bright, resonant quality.
In the community this month, we’re exploring questions like: What makes you unique? What lights you up? What could you talk about for hours? And — do you still have access to those things, or did you stop at some point?
The Personal Story Behind the Work I share how my own vocal sparkle disappeared when I was around people who didn’t want me to succeed — and returned when those people were gone. I talk about discovering that my smile muscles had become stiff and frozen from years of controlling my facial expressions in an unsafe relationship, and how breaking through that tension felt like the shaking you experience in an intense yoga pose.
I also reflect on my years as a classical soprano — music scholarships, being a paid first soprano — and how chronic shoulder tension from growing up with a father with severe PTSD made a professional singing career feel impossible. None of my voice teachers thought to look deeper at what was causing that tension. That experience is exactly why I built the Voice Liberation Method the way I did.
Course Launch Details: The Voice Liberation Method launches February 7th. Pre-order pricing is available for two more days, then it goes to full price (still a great deal). Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered — you made this process so much easier.
