How this singing study proves anybody can sing:

You have all seen or heard of "Super Size Me," a documentary about a man who eats nothing but McDonald's for 30 days in hope to prove the facts about the health risks. Well I am here to prove whether or not anybody can learn how to sing with this singing study. I have NO singing experience what-so-ever. NONE! (as of the start of this singing study) So, for the next 6 months of this singing study, I will be working with Brett Manning and Singing Success to see if they can take the average person with no experience and turn them into a good singer. You will be able to track my monthly progress with audio clips and journal entries. Brett works with singers every single day, but those singers have been singing for years or at least have some experience. So... what can he do with a singer from complete "scratch"? Lets find out...

Note: Before going straight to month one of this singing study to watch the transformations in a beginner's voice, I highly recommend you read the following paragraphs below that explain how the voice works and why this means that it really is true that anybody can learn how to sing.

How do we know this is possible?

After reading this section you'll believe that anybody can learn how to sing.

We are all human and have the same vocal cords (except for small differences in size, thickness, etc), but the point is that all of our voices are made of the same parts just like all of our bodies are made of the same bones. There is nothing "special" about the vocal cords of famous singers. They are the same kind of vocal cords that we all have. The only difference is that famous singers are familiar with their voices and have mastered the coordinations required for radio-friendly sounds. You have those same vocal cords; you just need to learn how to use them properly to make those same radio-friendly sounds. That is what we hope to prove to you with this singing study, and here is how we know this is true:

Most beginner singers have the same question about their voice, "What the heck, how does this thing work?" Now, say you are at a concert and notice the guitar player is amazing. Is it his guitar that is special? No. The guitar is the same as any other guitar. He is playing so good because he has become very familiar with how his instrument works and has mastered it. OK, well now pretend you take his guitar backstage and rearrange all of the strings and mess with the tuning. Now that "amazing" guitar player will come back on stage and will not sound very good at all. Now HE will be saying "what the heck, how does this thing work?" That is proof that there is nothing special about the instrument, it is just how familiar the musician is with his instrument. Can anybody learn how to play an instrument? Yes. Can anybody learn how to sing? Of course! That is how the idea for this singing study developed.

Think of your voice as that instrument (because it really is one). All of the singers on the radio have that same instrument: the human vocal cords. If you do not sound good then it is because you are not familiar with how your instrument works, and the singers on the radio sound good because they ARE familiar with how their instrument works.

The bottom line is that the science behind how the vocal cords work proves that anybody can learn how to sing. Bad singers are not familiar with how the voice works, famous singers are familiar with how it works. The good news for you is:

Anybody can learn how the voice works and therefore become a singer! You just need to know the correct vocal exercises that automatically train your voice to sing.

Here is the real proof:

I have never attempted to sing because I knew I just couldn't do it; I was too embarrassed to even try. So after more than 20 years I finally decided to see if anybody can learn how to sing by volunteering myself for this singing study. I have NO singing experience and my voice is horrible (as of the beginning of this singing study). Your vocal cords are a set of muscles, and like all muscles they need to be exercised. Can you imagine never using a muscle your entire life and then deciding to finally use it over 20 years later?! How weak do you think it would be? Well I mean I talk every day, but my vocal cords have never done the stretching and thinning out that they do while singing. They are very, very weak.

I came into this singing study knowing nothing about the human voice or the coordinations required for singing. I never knew there was a chest voice, mix voice, head voice, etc. I thought you had one voice for everything and I would tense up, squeeze, and shout for high notes. It was BAD. It is a good thing I never sang before this singing study, or else I would have damaged my voice long ago. I had no idea what I was doing. Think of it like golfing. If you have ever tried golfing then you know you can't just swing as hard as you can and try to smack the ball across the field. It all lies in the proper technique and precision to get the most out of your swing. You can't add the power until after you have the foundation of the technique down. It is similar for the voice. So many people (myself included) think that you have to squeeze the sound out when singing which just leads to shouting and a very strained sound. The key is vocal freedom. The sound shouldn't be squeezed out of your vocal cords, it should be released freely without tension. Over the next 6 months of this singing study the goal will be to become familiar with these coordinations and new sensations that come with a free and relaxed sound.

Can anybody learn how to sing? Lets prove it once and for all...

Please note: this singing study is an example of a singer who has absolutely NO previous singing experience. If you train with Singing Success, and you already have some singing experience, then your results should be much better, MUCH faster!
