Bücher von Valerie Morehouse

From over two decades of coaching singers, Valerie Morehouse has witnessed the power of a song. At its best, music elevates the listener and the artist above the mess of daily life, connecting us through our common life experiences. A song has the power to lift us from despair, or show us the darkest corners of our emotions. Music opens hearts and minds, reminding us of our humanity, as well as our personal truths. There is nothing in the world more powerful than frequency, and each voice carries its own unique signature. It is the privilege and task of the singer to dig deep, find their authentic voice, then share it with the world, or simply enjoy its gifts behind closed doors, if only for personal pleasure.Finding your voice, however, does not come easy. You must do the work in order to create the feeling of effortlessness in your singing. A lot of singers skip, or minimize this essential step, because it's not as much fun as writing a song or being in the recording studio. It is the commitment to vocal technique and training that gives you the stamina for a long career, allowing you to explore your range and then share your songs as you write and sing them.What if hitting those difficult high notes could be made easy? What if you could experience vocal health no matter the rigors of a demanding schedule? What if you were no longer limited by yourvoice in your own song-writing? Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's a dream that can be turned into reality, and your journey begins by standing on the shoulders of some of the giants of the music industry, who faced the very same vocal challenges as you.Valerie believes everyone's voice is unique and needs personalized exercises and guidance. However, after over two decades of vocal coaching, she feels it is her responsibility to share her knowledge beyond the walls of her studio. Rather than overwhelming you with chapters full of the exercises she uses with her clients, Val has decided to first share some of their stories, in addition to her own experiences throughout her career to date, taking you behind the scenes and on to the front lines, giving you first-hand accounts of what it's like to be a singer in today's global entertainment industry.
