We’ll also learn a basic anatomy of the voice and talk about the importance of building vocal resonance. We’ll start our vocal training with one of the best warmup and workout exercises: the lip roll!

What People Are Saying

I am so blown away by this course! I am leading a couple songs this weekend at the main services and I NEEDED the pieces to come together like they did. Subbing the warm ups for the words totally solved my problem with Great I Am!

Also, my baby girl loved the pharyngeal exercises. LOL!

Charmaine,

Wow! Words cannot express how much this has helped me grow. Although I haven't mastered it but I am well on my way. I can totally hear the difference in my voice. I had issues with getting to my head voice but these exercises helped me jump over those hurdles to find that mix and bam! Light bulb moment!

I am so glad I found The Worship Vocalist... You are a blessing and an answer to prayer. I can't wait to start the Master Your Voice classes. I call you blessed in Jesus' name!

Stay strong, stay fervent, & stay the course!

Hi Charmaine,
I am SO very impressed at how you hold a balance between the technical teaching and the spiritual aspect of singing. It is SO SO important for worship leaders to do both... work with excellence and yet surrender completely and humbly. So easy to sometimes forget one over the other... I have seen both unfortunately and I want to be careful to watch out for that myself.

I wanted to share that last Sunday, I could feel a huge difference in my voice, and for the first time, it was noticed by others too! I was approached after and told that my vocals were much tighter. So excited, it feels like such a win and motivates me even more to keep going!! Not that my motivation was waning in any way! 😊 – but this really felt like a big payoff to me.

Thank you for this! I'm excited that this is just the beginning. I feel my voice getting stronger and can't wait to notice even more improvements!

meliD81

So inspiring! I have gone through all the videos but intend to re-do them! And continue to build, I intend to show up and do this. I am almost glad I had no prior training because I feel like this is pure treasure God has led me to learn from!!

crystalheart

This course has been so helpful to me! Singing in church this weekend I felt like I actually had strength in my chest voice and it didn't give out on me! 😁 I definitely have a ways to go but these workouts have become a daily part of my drive to work! Thanks so much!!

Meet Your Coach

Hello! So glad you’re here! I’m excited to coach you on your voice and help you improve and gain confidence in your worship leading! So often we get up there to lead worship, and all we can think about is our voice… what’s going wrong, what’s already gone wrong, that high note that’s coming up—it’s so distracting and frustrating! I want you to be able to think about everything except what’s going wrong in your voice—I want you to be able to focus on God… on worshipping passionately and authentically, leading your congregation and listening to the Holy Spirit! I’m excited to share what I’ve learned (and continue to learn!) along my journey of vocal development and worship leading—and I pray that it will be a blessing to you on your journey!
