I have a passion for singing but a perfectionist personality type, which has held me back from being the singer I have always wanted to be. I feel that anyone can sing but that people fall into 2 categories: 1) Those who just “get it” and 2) Those who have talent but can’t quite get the techniques their teachers are giving them to work (The Frustrated Singer). I am the Frustrated Singer. After years of different teachers and experimenting on my own I am finally seeing things a bit more clearly but still have many blocks and frustrations with the art form. I want to cover techniques, inspiration, and the performance aspects of singing and hope this blog will help other singers break through their blocks and help them become the singers they have always wanted to be.


This is a work in progress and meant to evolve over time. I hope you use the information that will be presented here and keep in mind that what works for some won't work for others but the most important thing is to just keep at it.

David Carroll

I am working on a couple of longer posts but wanted to show some examples of male singers you may or may not know about. First off is David Carroll. A amazing vocalist! And probably my favorite male singer in musical theater. He had a voice that was amazing and sadly his life was cut short (so we don't have many chances to hear his instrument) There is a great recording of him, the bonus track, on the Grand Hotel cd singing "Love Can't Happen." He also can be heard on the American cast recording of Chess.

Take a look at how Seth Rudetsky deconstructs the song. Amazing.
