***Holistic Voice Coaching & Creative Mentorship for Female Singers*** Have you drifted away from singing, but lately, it’s been calling you back? Did something shake your confidence and you’re trying to work up the courage to sing in front of people again? Have you always felt a deep desire inside of you to sing - and it’s getting harder to ignore? Are you longing to be seen and heard, but find yourself holding back and hiding instead? Do you wish you could reconnect with that part of you that feels alive when singing? Hey, I’m Lainey ~ Holistic Voice Coach, Creative Mentor, Singer & Songwriter. Reawaken Your Voice was born from a very dark time in my life when I stopped singing. I remember feeling like I lost a part of myself that I could never get back. It was so painful to know that I had music inside of me but I was holding it all in, frozen in silence. But as a fellow singer & friend who has weathered the storm, I want you to know ~ you can sing again. My mission is to guide you back home to yourself by transforming your relationship with your voice, reminding you of the song that is yours alone to sing, and inspiring you to breathe life back into it. If you’re ready to reawaken the dormant part of you that once loved to sing and is aching for a revival, then welcome home ~ this show is a gift from my heart to yours. In this podcast, you’ll receive loving, nurturing support to heal from past singing experiences, release the inner critic, and let go of limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in perfectionism, procrastination, imposter syndrome, and analysis paralysis ~ so you can rewrite your singing story once and for all. I’ll teach you how to create a personal singing practice with nourishing, playful, inspiring vocal warm-up exercises that re-ignite your creative spark, open your voice, uncover your unique sound, and develop the full range and potential of your God-given instrument. You’ll learn to embody confidence as you find the courage to share your voice and put yourself out there in a way that feels authentic and aligned with who you are becoming as an artist, singer, musician, and performer. Take my hand and I’ll show you the way out of your head and back to the song in your heart. If you’re ready to reconnect with your creative spirit, revive your singing practice, and share the music inside of you, then join me inside to Reawaken Your Voice. Dust off your songbooks, tune up your guitar, bust out your singing bowls, your shakers, your drum, have a seat at the piano bench ~ actually, all you really need is your voice, your breath, open ears and an open heart.

I’ll share with you 3 phases to bring the music inside of you into the world through your voice ~ not only becoming the embodiment of the music itself through your singing voice, but also becoming the embodiment of the dreams and vision you have for yourself as an artist and singer.

Have you been shying away from those high notes? Are you afraid to lean into them so you back off and don’t give them the full power of your sound?
Or maybe you’re someone who isn’t afraid to go for it, but when you do reach for those high notes, they feel tense, closed off, pushed, forced or even harsh? Almost like you just hit a ceiling and you’re trapped underneath?

Have you ever had a performance where everything went wrong? Or where one thing didn’t go well, but that’s the part you remember and so it just feels like the whole thing was a complete train wreck?
Have you ever received negative feedback after sharing your voice and singing your heart out and it left you feeling beaten down, wounded and timid, unable to ever sing again?
I know I’ve experienced both of these throughout my vocal journey.
In today’s episode, I’ll share a couple of those stories with you and I’ll also talk about how I was able to get back up and keep singing after what may have seemed like failure, rejection, or just an embarrassing mistake that shook my confidence.
As singers, we must learn how to build resilience and develop a thick skin without building walls around our heart… because it is the beautifully vulnerable heart that creates real connection when we sing. So let’s talk about finding that balance and finding the courage to get back up after we fall so we can sing again.

Hey Friend,
In today’s episode we’re gonna talk about all those unfinished songs and unused ideas that may or may not be piling up in scattered places throughout your mind, your computer, your phone notes, your journals, scraps of paper, bits of recordings... aaahh, yes. Such is the way of the creative spirit!
You see, I've recently had a perspective shift around this ~ from beating myself up for all that I've left unfinished, to embracing the nature of the creative process ~ and I’m here today to share that with you.
I'll also give you a little window into how I use writing and journaling to work through the noise of the inner critic and reconnect with my heart.
My mission for this episode is really just to encourage you and give you some perspective on the creative process and why it’s OKAY that some of your ideas have gone idle or dormant ~ so you can stop with all the internal criticism and instead, embrace your beautiful, wild and creative mind!

Hey there, Songbird!
In today’s episode, we’re diving into a little bit of vocal technique ~ but don’t worry ~ we’re keeping it simple!
We’re talking about getting to know your voice and its capabilities by gaining an understanding of your vocal range and how to navigate the different parts of it.
When you deepen your understanding of the resonance chambers within your body and how to tap into them as you move throughout the different parts of your vocal range, you can learn to access a wider spectrum of artistic choices and therefore be more expressive in your singing.
And when you have a better grasp of your instrument and how it works, your confidence grows, you begin to trust your voice, know your voice, and yes, even LOVE your voice.
