“I’ve been a musician all of my live and one of the things that I’ve always wanted to do is to be able to sing very well but I always felt very limited because my normal speaking voice is a baritone and I could never seem to be able to hit a note higher than about E above middle C and have it sound halfway decent. A little bit about my background – I’ve been a musician but my profession is post production audio. I’ve done a lot of work over the years with different people.
One of my biggest clients was James Cameron and I was fortunate enough to win an Emmy award for sound editing on a project I did with him. I started one week ago (training) with Thomas. That very first day I hit in full voice a high E thanks to the techniques that Thomas showed me and it was not hard. I actually was able to do it very easily and realize that this is an octave above the E that I previously had to really strain to hit. Now it’s been one week. I’m back and today I hit a high Ab (above tenor high C) and it sounds probably better than the E (above tenor High C) that I hit the week before.
I’m very excited about the possibilities this is opening up for me. I’m going to be able to sing things I never thought I would ever be able to sing much sooner than I ever thought I’d be able to do it and it’s all thanks to Thomas’ instruction, following his advice and practicing the lessons that he’s given me. ”
