Optimize the Breath.

Simple strategies.  Big shifts.

This summer take a deep dive deep into one of the most discussed and confusing topics related to singing: the breath, and its role in vocal support and healthy singing.

This 8-part workshop series will reinvigorate your breath and voice as one through movement, touch, imagination, and more. Every week you will feel your voice become more resonant and easy to produce.

If you’re a singer, voice teacher, actor, musician, or expressive human, give yourself the gift that is equal parts professional development and self-care.

This summer you will learn…

…how to make every stage of the breathing cycle easier, smoother, and fuller

…how to balance the mouth & nose for additional resonance and vocal freedom

…how to use the whole torso instead of just parts of it

…strategies to reduce sticky tensions

…a ton of fun new ways to explore in practice and/or with clients

Through simple strategies that snap the breath into alignment quickly, as well as longer interospective lessons that will take you deep into your senses, you’ll see and feel your breath in new ways that will organically improve your singing.

What You Can Expect

Mondays in

July & August


Every Monday, we’ll gather on Zoom from 1–2pm EST for a unique journey into the senses.

No two sessions are the same, each offering a new way to explore and sense the breath to support the voice.

Each session has three components:

  1. Mini lesson: These are quick ways to boost the breath and energize the voice. They're easy to use in performance to ensure the voice stays in the pocket and you stay out of your head!

  2. Maxi lesson: Often related to the mini lesson, the maxi lessons are will delve into concepts like pre-phonatory tuning, the suspension phase of the breath, balancing nose & mouth breathing, whole body breath, connecting breath and expression, a little bit about springs, spirals, stethoscopes, and skin... Sometimes these lessons will be interoceptive deep dives, sometimes they will feel like whimsical voice games, but they'll always be powerful.

  3. The breakdown: Through a visually stunning slide presentation, you’ll align your experience with your mental model giving it some juicy updates.  Pedagogy nerds, you're going to love this part.  It's often quite fascinating.

The lessons can be cross-pollinated too! Though each session is distinct, there are dozens of potential variations of each lesson when combining them with others, which will keep things interesting and facilitate new depths of integration and automation - that means better singing with less thought!

This is NOT your typical breath training!

Fix problems

without trying to fix problems

The symptom is rarely the cause of the problem. A wilted leaf has little to do with the leaf, right? This program will show you how to create the conditions where problems solve themselves.

Instead of identifying faults and correcting them one by one, we will work with the whole system and see it get better, as a whole.

For singers

voice teachers

and other voice users!

This workshop series is for anyone who loves to use their voice, wants to use their voice better, and for those who teach voice to others. It is fully accessible no matter how much you know about the voice.

This will be the breath of fresh air you deserve

Hi, I’m Jeremy.

I’m a Canadian voice and movement coach. I work with clients both on Broadway and on their way there, in the film industry in LA, and with singers around the globe.  I also work with populations who have challenging vocal diagnoses helping them optimize their vocal function, often surpassing the expectations of their SLPs and ENTs.  I host a 9 month community of voice teachers and voice nerds interested in learning singing techniques that are holistic, experiential, and align with the true nature of the body. You can learn more about Body Based Voice Ped here.

I have a masters degree in vocal pedagogy and have taught classes for both undergraduate and graduate students focusing on performance, pedagogy, style, and also voice & movement integration - like we will do this summer.

I am a 500 hour certified yoga teacher, 300 hours of which with Jules Mitchell of the book “The Biomechanics of Yoga.” I also am a certified teacher of Feldenkrais “Awareness Through Movement” lessons, which will be the style of learning you will experience this summer if you decide to join Breathe Easy.

I have presented at symposiums and conferences including PAVA, ICVT, The Voice Foundation, and have been a special clinician for organizations including NATS, IVA, Svara Project, and more. You can find my writing published in “The Vocal Athlete Workbook,” “The Voice Teachers’ Cookbook,” “Classical Singer Magazine,” “Nate: Internos,” and NYSTA’s “Voice Prints,” and on podcasts including “Singing Teacher Talk,” “The Intelligent Vocalist,” “VocalFri,” and many more.

FAQ

  • It’s more like we will be using the breathing system to improve the whole singing system. Though we will target the torso and breath, we will also widen our mind’s eye and see how the torso can optimize resonance as well.

  • Absolutely not! If you’d like to feel your voice improve through enhancing your breath, you will get that no matter how much you know about the voice already.

  • No worries - everything will be recorded and available within 24 hours of the session. The replays are yours to keep.

  • You can expect 3 parts in every 60 minute session:

    A few minutes to say hello and share any singing or teaching wins along with new insights.

    An experiential breathing lesson.

    An open discussion that will answer questions and unpack the various sciences within the lesson.

    We will nourish our intellect as well as our sensory system!

  • Every kind!

    This is a style-agnostic approach that will make anything you sing fuller and easier and expand artistic options.

    These are more than techniques you apply when you’re singing. They are more like taking your car for a tune-up - it’s easier to drive and a smoother ride.
