Go From Saying....

😳 “Ugh! Everything’s so high — how am I supposed to belt that?!”
You’re classically trained, but every casting call feels like a pop or rock marathon you didn’t sign up for.

😩“I swear, I can’t get cast unless I can mix belt through the ceiling. ”
Cue the tears, the tight throat, the spiral

😐“Why does that final note in my aria feel like a scream for help instead of a clean sustain?”
You know you're good at certain styles — but why does your voice still sound shrill, strained, not you on legit stuff

🤮“Please please PLEASE don’t make me sing legit musical theater don't make me pull out my ....soprano ☠️— switching from mix belt to head voice feels like crossing planets.”
You can do both… you just need to know the difference in styles and how to adjust your sound.

To Saying...

😉“Actually, mind if I option up? My high mix belt feels solid today.”
Confidence and trust — not panic — when the note goes up.

🤗“I love this new contemporary theater piece. The high mix belt at the end? That’s my money note.
And yeah, turns out I sound 🔥 on Pop too.”

🥳“That sustained high note? My favorite part now. It’s where I shine.”

👍“Oh, you need a head-dominant mix? Got it. Want a mix belt instead? Easy.”
Because when your voice is trained for style, versatility becomes your superpower.

As a pro singer, you need to be versatile...not a one trick pony. 

 Hi, I'm Sarah- I'm a professional singer turned voice teacher. And developing Advanced Mix has been my OBSESSION for my entire vocal journey. I always knew that it was important for a singer to master vocal versatility- after all, the more vocally versatile you are, the more jobs you could get and the more ways you can express. But for some reason, for YEARS, no one could give me a straight answer. Did no one...know? Why couldn't someone just tell me point blank what went into certain sounds?! WHAT made an opera sound different from a rock singer? Why were singers seeming to get locked into one style over an other? I was just told over and over "you're either born singing classical or contemporary. That's it 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️"

Still, a voice in my head protested "But we're INSTRUMENTS!?  Just like violins or clarinets, our voices are instruments! All you have to do is learn to PLAY it in a different way, right? A violin can fiddle, but it can ALSO solo in a symphony! 

Still, years went by with no answers, and the search continued. How do we get our voices to do that!? The question really came to a boiling point when I graduated from one of the best music conservatories in the world and STILL didn't have answers. I assumed I would just ride on my pretty soprano sound forever- wrong. The industry had other plans. All of a sudden, I was thrust into a world of contemporary sounds: mix belting, pop, rock- none of which were my strengths. The passion and curiosity of exploring sound suddenly turned into desperation. If I wanted to WORK- I needed to figure this out. fast. 

 But it wasn't until I became a voice teacher where I started to get answers. I finally dove into the nuances of vocal balance and then eventually...into the world of breaking the rules. I had to learn how my instrument worked before I knew what was in my control to change my sound.  I basically had to know what ingredients I needed before I tried to bake a cake! And then when I finally got the ingredients under my belt, an entire world of style and sound opened up to me 

And that's how Advanced Mix was born: because we all need vocal technique....but at the end of the day "good technique" isn't enough....we need to be able to have control over our sound and color to be true artists. And to get PAID to sing. AND do it in a way where we don't end our career by trying to DIY extreme singing and end up hurting our damaging our sound.
