About The Balanced Singer (TBS)

TBS is a resource for you to discover proven methods and techniques that are designed to make you a better singer—fast!

Whether you’re just starting out on your journey, or are a seasoned performer on tour, you love singing and want to be the best singer you can be.

As you take steps to find ways to be a better singer, perhaps you’ve encountered some of these issues in the singing world:

  • Conflicting opinions on what works and what doesn’t work
  • Generic, random information that doesn’t work
  • Methods that promise all kinds of claims or your money back
  • Instructors that barely know what they’re talking about, or worse yet, can barely sing a note
  • And the egos of so-called YouTube gurus as they battle it out to be the most knowledgeable “expert”

Isn’t all of that just exhausting, and yet you still haven’t found anything that actually works for your voice?

Most singers like you just want to be the best they can be.

Here are the most common questions singers ask us:

  • How can I to expand my range?
  • How do I get more power in my high notes?
  • How do I sing with vibrato?
  • My voice hurts when I sing; how can I sing with less strain?
  • How can I keep my voice healthy?

These questions can be resolved by learning how to sing with vocal balance—and that’s where TBS comes in!

With TBS, you’ll learn that vocal balance really is the basis of everything when it comes to singing. And the great news is that it’s not difficult to learn.

All those questions above will start to disappear as you learn how to use your voice and sing the way you want.

We are passionate about singing, and we’ve been training singers for a long time. With over 70 combined years of experience, we’ve worked with singers at every level and stage of development.

And with years of our own training as singers and voice teachers, we’ve developed and honed the best methods and techniques to get you the voice you want.

How do we do this? By teaching you vocal balance.
