Description

Are you are serious about pursuing an entertainment careeer as a singer...let me show you how!  Join the ranks of recording artists, American Idol finalists, and Grammy and Tony winners that have come through my studios.   Take command of your voice! Learn the same singing technique used by more than 300 of the most recognized artists in recording and entertainment over the past 20 years! Tom McKinney’s approach to singing, called “Singing with the Ease of Speech” technique, allows you to sing freely and clearly anywhere in your range, with all the words clearly understood. Since you are not learning “WHAT” to sing but rather “HOW” to sing, this technique can be applied to any genre of music! How does the “Ease of Speech Vocal Technique” differ from other vocal training methods?  “Singing with the Ease of Speech,” also known as “Speech Level Singing Technique”, approaches the voice on a speaking level, meaning that it should be no more difficult to sing than it is to speak clearly and precisely. Tom works with students to build a bridge through the “break”, also known as the “passaggio” (”passage”), between the low voice (chest voice) and the high voice (head voice), combining those parts in the middle range to create the “mix” that most singers struggle to master, and many voice teachers don’t understand how to teach.  This sound is often mistaken as "belting," but without the potential damage that "belting" can cause. How long does it usually take to realize improvement in one’s singing, or speaking abilities using this method? Student’s who apply themselves to this technique with regular practice, can usually feel and hear an improvement in their vocal skills in a few short weeks. How much singing, or performance experience do I need in order to be successful using this method? Previous vocal study is not required to pursue the “Ease of Speech Singing Technique”, only the student’s commitment to practice the vocal exercises and follow the instruction and advice of the teacher. TOM McKINNEY IS THE ONLY MASTER INSTRUCTOR OF “THE EASE OF SPEECH VOCAL TECHNIQUE” IN TEXAS, AND THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES.  The first voice lesson will give the student and parents an introduction to this singing technique, along with Tom's professional evaluation of the student's vocal range and skill level.  Each student will take home a recorded CD of the entire lesson for their review and practice.  We welcome all students from beginners to professionals,  ages 10 to adult.  No previous training is required to start lessons, just an enthusiasm and willingness to learn to sing well.
