✦ There’s more than one way to do singing
For singers ready to do more, but uninspired by the options in front of them. Sing with more colour, charisma and artistry. Find a vocal sound and style that hold attention. Create a direction that genuinely excites you. Turn “one day I’d love to…” into your next thrilling chapter.
What's getting in your way
Your voice still has a few tricks left to learn.
It's only the shower that hears you sing.
You have ideas but nothing to show for it.
You’re too established to risk starting again in a new direction.
What you do no longer works.
You think you’ve left it too late.
You’ve lots of the go, but none of it excites you.
You’re terrified of singing in front of others.
You have plans, but no are stuck on step 2.
The audience switches off when you come on stage.
You're waiting until you're "ready".
You have absolutely no idea what you want to do next.
Love singing, lost on the way?
Adult singers have a hidden advantage the average 16-year-old simply will not. They have stories, taste, life experience, an opinion or two to call on — and most likely a few scars to show for it too. Incredible for singing. And often the dividing line between singing well and reaching that “the room goes quiet” singing magnificence. It’s the foundations of exceptional singing projects, distinctive artistry and charismatic vocal delivery. Take heart if just getting started in later life — you are already ahead. And if you are further down the road, singing for some time now and somehow lost on your way, it’s likely this is the missing link and what you need to return to. Magnificent times lie ahead, if you let them.
“I started out as someone who had a desire to sing… …but was too painfully nervous to ever perform with confidence as myself in front of crowd. It couldn’t be further from where I am now, in the middle of planning my own Sassy, Swinging Jazz, Cabaret Show. Through The Magnificent Singer I have gained great knowledge and confidence to not only look forward to performing on stage no matter how big or small but also as someone who can turn up with confidence at a last minute gig having never rehearsed with the band!”
—SHARON LENIHAN. SASSY-JAZZ SINGER
4 Ways to Make Your Singing Magnificent
✦ TECHNIQUE
Sound like you, only better.
Get a better-sounding voice. More control across styles. And the ability to put a song over with conviction.
✦ STYLE
Make people believe you when you sing.
More distinctive phrasing. Stronger interpretation. And the performance charisma to make every song feel like yours.
✦ DIRECTION
A good voice is not a plan.
A clearer direction. Better ideas for what to do next. And a singing project you can actually make happen.
✦ PIANO
Put your singing in the driver’s seat.
Get beyond a few random chords and pieces. Use the piano for style, creative independence and a little authority on standby — allowing you to perform, write, arrange, teach and direct rehearsals without needing back-up.
Do singing your way
I was fortunate to grow up in a musical household, where music was always just there. Over time, singing led me through classical, jazz, and contemporary styles — and eventually to creating The Magnificent Singer for adults who want to do something more interesting with their singing. Your singing aspirations may be modest or world-conqueringly ambitious — either way, things tend to start happening once you find a direction that fits.
— Elizabeth, Founder of The Magnificent Singer
