When we speak or sing, the brain sends signals to the vocal cords, guiding their movement and determining the pitch, tone, and power of our voice. However, for many individuals, this connection between the brain and vocal apparatus is not optimized, resulting in limitations and suboptimal vocal performance.

Brain-based training aims to bridge this gap by targeting specific brain regions responsible for vocal control, and enhancing their functionality through various exercises and techniques.

How Brain-Based Training Works

Brain-based training for your voice involves a combination of cognitive, physical, and sensory exercises designed to stimulate brain regions associated with vocalization. By challenging these areas, we can create new neural connections and improve overall vocal performance.

Here are some key components of brain-based training:

Cognitive Exercises

To improve your voice, you need more than just physical practice. Cognitive exercises such as mental imagery, visualization, and auditory training can enhance neural pathways and improve your ability to control pitch, tone, and volume.

Mental imagery involves mentally rehearsing your vocal performance, visualizing yourself hitting the perfect note or delivering a captivating speech. This exercise activates the same brain regions involved in actual vocal production, reinforcing the desired neural connections.

Auditory training focuses on improving your ability to perceive and reproduce accurate pitch, tone, and vocal nuances. By training your ears to detect subtle differences in sound, you can develop a more refined and precise voice.

Physical Exercises

Just as athletes train their muscles to enhance performance, vocalists can benefit from physical exercises that target the muscles involved in vocalization. Exercises like tongue twisters, lip trills, and jaw stretches can strengthen and coordinate these muscles, allowing for better control over your voice.

Moreover, incorporating techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing and body posture into your vocal training can improve overall vocal resonance and projection. These exercises help you harness the full potential of your vocal apparatus.

Sensory Exercises

Our brain's ability to integrate sensory information is crucial for accurate vocal control. Sensory exercises involve stimulating different senses such as touch, sight, and kinesthesia to enhance your vocal performance.

For example, using touch to feel vibration patterns in the vocal tract can help you develop better resonance and timbre. Kinesthetic exercises, on the other hand, involve using various body movements to create better body awareness and alignment, leading to improved vocal projection and control.

The Benefits of Brain-Based Training

When done consistently and with proper guidance, brain-based training can unlock a multitude of benefits for your voice:

Improved Vocal Range and Flexibility

By optimizing the brain's control over your vocal apparatus, brain-based training can expand your vocal range, allowing you to reach higher or lower notes effortlessly. It also improves vocal flexibility, enabling you to transition between different styles and genres seamlessly.

Enhanced Vocal Power and Projection

Brain-based training strengthens the connection between your brain and the muscles responsible for vocalization. This increased coordination and control translates into improved vocal power and projection, allowing you to deliver more impactful performances.

Greater Vocal Control and Accuracy

Through targeted cognitive exercises, brain-based training sharpens your ability to control pitch, tone, and vocal nuances. You gain better control over your voice, resulting in more accurate and precise performances.

Reduced Vocal Fatigue and Strain

By incorporating physical exercises that promote healthy vocal habits, brain-based training can help reduce vocal fatigue and strain. Improved muscle coordination leads to more efficient vocal production, minimizing the risk of vocal injuries and discomfort.

Increased Confidence and Presence

When you discover and unleash the full potential of your voice, you gain an undeniable sense of confidence and presence. Brain-based training allows you to express yourself authentically, captivating your audience and leaving a lasting impression.

If you are a singer, you are an athlete. And the athletic skills that make you a great vocalist come from one source: your brain.

The Singing Athlete is the first book of its kind: a view on voice training through the lens of both the physical body and the nervous system. As one of the top teachers of professional Broadway performers, Andrew Byrne has developed a unique synthesis of athletics and neuroscience that will guide you to higher levels of performance.

In addition to his work on Broadway, Andrew is devoted to studying the training methods used by Olympic athletes as a Master Practitioner of Z-Health functional applied neuroscience. He has taken thousands of hours of research and boiled it down into an easily digestible form that will help you unlock amazing new vocal skills.

When you buy The Singing Athlete, you’re not just picking up a book. You’re getting a complete training system. With your purchase, you get lifetime access to The Singing Athlete Video Guide, a companion website that includes over 150 training videos. You’ll learn the correct form for every drill, explore awesome bonus content, and download PDFs to track your progress.

Through the fully illustrated book and the accompanying videos, you will learn to:

• Breathe correctly for stress reduction and optimal vocal support

• Exercise your tongue, jaw, and throat in ways that lower threat in your brain

• Use your ears and eyes to improve vocal range and stamina

• Heal any scars that might be holding you back

• Eliminate reflux, tinnitus, sinus problems, and other vocal stumbling blocks

• Move better, feel better, and sing better

FAQs

How is The Singing Athlete different from other vocal training systems?

When you study voice, your instructor is always practicing neurology—either accidentally or on purpose. A lot of voice systems can tell you about the anatomy of the voice, but The Singing Athlete provides a crucial missing piece—how to train your brain. Once you understand how your nervous system is in charge of your singing, the way you practice will shift forever, and everything your teacher says will make more sense.

I’m an instructor of a certain style of vocal training. Can I integrate The Singing Athlete into what I already do?
That is one of the greatest strengths of this system; this material can fit in seamlessly with almost any style of training. The Singing Athlete is designed to complement what you already do, providing a new framework to expand and focus your thinking. Lisa Rochelle (NYC Singing Voice Specialist) says it this way: “The Singing Athlete negates no other system, no other technique, and no other pedagogy. It can be used to meet a singer where they are.”

I’m not a Broadway singer—I sing other styles (pop/country/R&B/classical, etc.) Can I get good results from this book?

The Singing Athlete is independent of vocal style. You can apply these exercises to any vocal style, from heavy metal to grand opera. Whether you want to sing “Quando m’en vo” or “Call Me Maybe”, Andrew has got you covered.

How does The Singing Athlete Video Guide work?

Learning movement is a visual process. To get the most out of the exercises, Andrew has shot a video of each drill. This will allow you to make sure you’ve got the form right, as well as learn details about how to use and tweak the drills. Once you’ve purchased the book, you can get lifetime access to the video gui
