What It Really Means to Build Your Voice

Published on 1 July 2025 at 16:49

We’ve all heard the phrase: “Some people are just born with a great voice.”

But what if I told you that most of what we call "natural talent" is actually muscle memory—something that can be trained, awakened, and built?

In truth, the voice is a muscular instrument. It lives in your body. And like any instrument, it can be strengthened, shaped, and fine-tuned.

This is the heart of what I teach in my upcoming eBook, The Vocal Awakening: A Holistic Path to Building Your Voice. In Chapter 4, I introduce the Muscular Voice-Building Method—a grounded, body-based approach that helps singers stop chasing “pretty” and start building power, freedom, and true vocal connection.


So, What Does It Mean to “Build” a Voice?

Most singers are taught to copy styles, smooth out flaws, or sing louder. But very few are taught how to develop the inner muscles that support and shape the voice.

Building the voice means more than just singing scales—it means working with resistance, using vowel-based exercises, and learning how to engage your vocal muscles consciously so that your sound becomes both strong and sustainable.


Tension Is Not the Enemy—Unconscious Tension Is

Tension has a bad reputation in the singing world. But did you know that safe, targeted tension is actually how you build strength?

In the Muscular Voice-Building Method, you’ll learn how to create healthy resistance in your voice—just like you would at the gym—so your muscles learn to coordinate, balance, and support your sound with ease.

It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about working smarter—with awareness and purpose.


Curious?

If this is speaking to something in you—if you’ve ever wondered why your voice feels fragile, inconsistent, or stuck—you might not need more style… you might just need strength.

With love and resonance,
