Finding Your Voice

In Baton Rouge I met with a friend to talk about vocal coaching. Kirk is a great singer and a seasoned performer and he is working toward becoming a vocal coach. He has been singing cover tunes for years in local coffee shops, restaurants and venues in town. He asked me “How do I find my voice? How do I find out what I really sound best on? Who I really am as a singer?” I was floored. Kirk had been singing professionally for over 20 years.

Remembering the angst of that feeling, I told him my story and how I had felt much the same. I had sung everyone else’s songs and could sing a lot of styles well, but I didn’t know who I was as a singer. I didn’t know what I wanted to sing or what sounded best in my voice. I finally realized it had everything to do with what I wanted to SAY as a performer. When I connected with WHAT I wanted to say in my songs then it was easy to start choosing songs, even writing songs that reflected who I was “as a singer.” Like a favorite style of jeans, I began to find songs and a style that fit me just right. Singing them felt right. So, if you are stuck and unsure of how to “find your voice,” give some thoughts to what you are passionate about and what you want to spend your time singing about. You will drift to music that matters, that moves you and you will begin to move your listeners as well.
