You’re an artist.
Music is your art form.
Your voice is your medium.
Let's Talk About Your "Sing File"?
You have a "Sing File" in your brain.
We all do. In that tiny moment before you sing, your "Sing File" opens, and your brain sets you up to sing the way you've always sung. Every time.
When it works for you...
...that's great. It means that you've associated certain things you like with your singing. Those things are part of your "Sing File," and that file loads before you sing. So that you can sing. In your really unique way. It makes you sound like you.
You didn't mean to create that file. It just happened. It happened as you sang in your bedroom as a teenager... with a group in high school... and as you fronted the band or sang in the musicals. You've been building and reinforcing that "Sing File" every time you sing. And now your brain sings before you do.
​
What's frustrating is the stuff that's happening that you don't want. Like, you're too quiet, or you get voice cracks. You might feel your range is too small, or you get vocal fatigue after you've sung for a while.
You CAN Hack Your Brain!
You can use your brain's ability to both guide the process and be shaped by the process. (Nice, right?) You can teach it to expect singing that feels divine, reaches high & low, and lasts as long as you need it to.
I've spent the last 20+ years working out a systematic approach to singing based on brain science. It's amazing (seriously...read the quotes on this site + the socials) and works predictably. It gets singers the vocal strength & freedom they want without changing the way they sing.
Strength, freedom, and when you go to sing, it's you. It's the way you've always sung, but better. Easy. Healthy. Loud. High. Badass.
NeuroVocal Method is some magical stuff. I've trained voice coaches from all over the world to teach this way. Cuz it's amazing.
​
Think...brain hack.
Think...going in the back door.
Think...the same but better.
When you get it, you're going to LOVE IT!

About Meredith
I don’t hold up "standards", I solve problems. I help singers find their voices. And I love my job.
​​
I love brains and how they work. I'm a science nerd. I wrote a book about how to tap neuroscience to make singing easier and healthier. I wrote it so anyone can understand. Cuz it's wow!
​
Four years of classical lessons in high school. Not because I loved classical music. I’d never heard a classical singer. I loved R&B, punk, and singer/songwriters.
​
Then a year abroad tending bar and singing in pubs.
​
Then two years of classical lessons at the University of Wisconsin until I found what I’d always wanted: the Studio Music & Jazz degree at the University of Miami! Yay!
Three more years of classical lessons! What?
​I didn’t know how to sing the music I wanted to sing when I left Miami. I joined a road band, sang five or six nights a week for nine months, and trashed my voice. Shocker, right?
​
Back to my parent’s basement, a day job, vocal therapy, and piano lessons for a year.
​
When I got to Chicago, a friend helped me find a voice teacher who could help me. He was a studio singer and concert performer. He lived in the same world that I did, and taught me how to sing for that world. It was the first time in my life I felt like I was actually singing.
So I took graduate level how-to-teach-voice at Northern Illinois University, and set out to (read this in your best Baptist Preacher voice) save all the microphone singers!
​
For the next 20 years I was a freelance singer in Chicago. I taught band singers during the week and sang with bands on the weekends. I headlined at most of the jazz clubs in that jazz town, sang on cruise ships, and with society bands. I headed up The Center For Voice in Chicago, directed choirs, and was a church music director. I recorded a CD of original jazz tunes. I did a lot of different gigs for music, money, and both.
Retro Meredith. chick singer.
If you want to know about how NVM came about, you can read the story on the About NVM page. I wrote Money Notes: How to Sing High, Loud, Healthy and Forever in 2016. It’s about NeuroVocal Method, and about microphone singing.
​
What I want YOU to know is that I’ve been there.
​
I speak the language of the college-educated classical singer, and the language of the band singer. (Also, band leader, acapella group member, musical theater actor, big band singer, and, most importantly, professional Christmas caroller.)
I don’t hold up standards, I solve problems. I help artists find their voices. And I love my job.
