Who is Lindsey?
Perhaps we have some things in common:
You love to sing. You have a lot to say. But sometimes it feels like you keep hitting the same wall. Sometimes you don’t know how you fit within the hierarchy of your industry. You have tons of information about what repertoire other people say you should sing…often it all contrasts.
Boy, do I hear that. You are not alone! I spent most of my younger life trying to figure out why singing - the thing I loved most to do in the world - was also the thing that freaked me out, brought me to tears, made me feel tiny and insignificant.
But GOOD NEWS! I have spent most of my career as a singer and educator to figure out how to feel as awesome singing as I wanted to.
And, yeah, I absolutely had to work on my technique. And take a ton of courses, and learn and sing as much as possible.
And then one day, “IT” was there and suddenly it was like my voice had finally shown up and I started singing and feeling awesome about it. Maybe not perfect, definitely knowing there was still work to do, but …. wow …. my inside singing self matched my outside singing self.
Despite singing as a voice major in college, studying theatre performance and acting, doing master classes, auditioning my face off, doing summer YAPs, trying not to get sucked into the head games of name dropping in the waiting areas for auditions, blah, blah, blah….I couldn’t figure out what it was that helped me move from a place of fear and terror of not being good enough and move toward a place to freedom.
Luckily for me, I got the awesome opportunity to spend my doctorate degree trying to figure it out. And I got some answers!
Maybe you are a singer performing at major opera houses or in regional theater or on Broadway.
Maybe you don’t trust you actually can sing.
There are concrete tools you can use to help yourself.
I’ve spent a bunch of time sussing them out. I keep taking more classes and working with more people and get you more tools that could help. In fact, it’s kind of my favorite thing to do.
If you have a desire to minimize the internal forces that keep you from being your best self, Integral Voice Works is the place for you. I know from experience how frustrating it is to know you have more to give that feels inaccessible.
Trust me - there is a way forward!
Yeah, it’s not a magic wand. You might have to do some soul searching and try thinking about things in a different way - your singing, the world, your self.
But that’s actually good news! You don’t have to cross your fingers and hope that this time you’ll feel good about what you’ve sung or how you’ve performed/auditioned/etc.
Instead, you get to learn tools to implement and truths about yourself in order to - finally, finally - figure out how to live in your own artistry and trust that you are enough, your voice is enough. No really, you are enough.
