Speech Level Singing: The Technique of Legends
In the middle of his concert at the famous Forum in Los Angeles, superstar Stevie Wonder stopped the show to acknowledge, in front of thousands of fans, a man who has had much to do with the success and longevity of his vocal career. He wasn't referring to his manager or record producer. He was referring to Seth Riggs - his voice teacher.
Seth Riggs is considered by many to be the best and most successful voice teacher in the world. He is certainly the busiest. No other teacher, past or present, has ever matched his phenomenal track record. His students are a veritable "Who's Who" of singers, actors, dancers, and entertainers throughout the world.
Seth Riggs's vocal technique and the methods he uses to teach the technique were forged and tempered by the fierce demands placed on the world's top performers, who must often perform several shows a night - night after night! A great deal of money is always at stake, so his clients' voices must be able to function easily, without strain. It is no wonder that whenever singers come to Los Angeles from other parts of the world, producers, directors and fellow performers send them to see this master vocal technician.
Tricia Grey, MMus was trained by Seth Riggs in Los Angeles from her
teenage years and began teaching his technique at the age of 20.
Throughout her demanding academic, teaching, and performing career, Speech Level Singing kept her voice in top condition. Tricia is now bringing SLS to the Southeast States, and also teaches SLS via webcam to students all over the world.
Speech Level Singing (SLS) Technique is unlike any vocal technique in existence today. SLS technique enables singers to develop a healthy, strong voice with great high notes and no breaks or strain. Students learn to sing from the chest voice to higher notes by "mixing" into the upper register, rather than forcing the chest voice up, or disconnecting into a weak, breathy tone. The resulting voice will be smooth and balanced throughout the entire range, and the vocal range will increase dramatically. SLS technique allows the singer to negotiate the "bridges" of the voice easily and without muscular tension, which results in the ability to easily sing in any style with soul, emotion, and flexibility. Speech Level Singing technique produces voices that remain healthy throughout a lifetime of singing.
Rather than forcing you to sing in any particular vocal style, SLS allows you to sing freely and expressively in the style in which YOU like to sing! Professional gospel, R&B, jazz, pop, musical theatre, and opera singers around the world all rely on Speech Level Singing Technique to maintain their voices and their careers. Over 130 Grammy Winners are where they are today because of Speech Level Singing! When you want a great technique that will give you amazing high notes, strength, power, flexibility, and a healthy vocal production, Speech Level Singing is the answer!
Broadway Dreams Founder Endorses Tricia Grey, MMus and Speech Level Singing!
(published in the Fulton Times)
Youth today, led by the devices of advertisers, marketers and corporate giants, all crave the red carpet. They desire to live a life of the stars, and many, fueled by the unpredicted opportunities available to them via producers like Disney, Nickelodeon and shows like American Idol and America’s Got Talent, desire a professional career as a performer.
There are many pitfalls that a parent of a child who loves performing and dreams of becoming a star should be aware of. The first and perhaps most important is proper training. Just as a parent would never send their child to play contact sports without proper supporting gear, so too parents must be ever vigilant in providing their aspiring dancers, actors and singers the support of proper technique. Because young performer’s bodies are still developing, damage done to their “instruments” at this stage of the journey can have life long repercussions.
This is particularly true of the voice, says Tricia Grey MMus of Sing Like A Star! ™ Studios. “If your child’s goal is to become a vocal performer, then finding the right vocal technique, voice teacher and or vocal coach is absolutely imperative. They must begin to employ a technique that will give them freedom from strain, provide them with awesome high notes, endless power and the ability to sing in any style with ease and control. With this in mind Speech Level Singing (SLS) is the only method to consider. SLS is the preferred vocal training for hundreds of Grammy and Tony award winners, and countless movie and television personalities. So needless to say, it is the most sought after vocal technique in the world of music today. Producers know that a performer with SLS training will have the vocal dexterity, and more importantly the vocal stamina needed to sing with power, soul, and emotion in any setting!
