We are in our heads onstage because we were taught to sing through thought instead of experience.
If you want to be out of your head, teach your body not your mind.
Hi, I’m Jeremy!
Learning to sing was a challenge for me. I didn’t feel anything between my eyes, placing the sound one place or another felt like a guessing game, and I didn’t even feel distinctions between head & chest voice. The most popular model for teaching voice was so at odds with the way I was processing what I was learning.
In college I trained to perform, and when I fell out of love with the stage I began to teach and realized that I didn’t know anything. Somehow I learned to sing well enough to do it as a profession, yet somehow after 15+ years of training I had no idea when to choose a 5-note scale over an arpeggio, one vowel over another, or do a breathing exercise.
I started reading books, and I started taking courses. I found mentors and started to grow. I branched my learning out into other areas like yoga and the body, Feldenkrais and experiential learning, fascia and biotensegrity, and I also started to incorporate techniques from Acting the Song classes that I was teaching.
I’m proud to state that my pedagogy is unique and wholistic, and draws upon a way of learning that is organic and provokes my students’ curiosity.
“Fascia is a key concept that all of us in the singing world need to know more about and to understand, and there's no better person to give you insights into this than Jeremy!”
