Can you answer yes to any of the following?

.. "I find it painful and a strain when singing."
.. "I struggle to reach high notes."
.. "I need a bigger range."
.. "My vocal projection is weak."
.. "I wish my upper register were stronger."
.. "I don't feel comfortable singing falsetto."

If you struggle with any or all of the above, Roxanne is holding a vocal

to her unique story of how she overcame severe vocal nodules without having
to have a throat operation.

.. Articulation,
.. Vocal blending,

As well as working on:
. Tone
. Pitch
. Vocal Style
. Performance
.... And much more.....

Below is an introduction to The Vocal Exercise Double CD Pack: -

Welcome to the beginning of your beautiful voice:

This CD exercise set has been developed as a result of my personal
experience as a singer, and the experiences of students I have taught.

If you develop and maintain your own routine, using these exercises, in
combination with correct placement and breath support, I guarantee you will
achieve a spectacular improvement, not only in your range, but also in your
vocal control and projection. Furthermore these exercises will greatly aid
in the healing of damaged vocal chords.

How can I be so confident of this?

Because I went through this process myself, having had to deal with damaged
vocal chords, due to incorrect placement.
After years of working gruelling schedules of nightly performances, I woke
up one morning to find I could not produce a recognisable sound when
attempting to talk. I hadn't seen it coming, as I was unaware that I was
singing incorrectly at the time, and here it was, every singer's ultimate
nightmare: no voice. Although sad and deflated by my circumstance, I decided
to find out what I could do about this as soon as possible.

Now, many vocalists have had to confront this issue at some point in their
careers: "Nodules" or calluses have formed on their vocal chords, as a
result of bad vocal habits. Sometimes these nodules are so pronounced they
are referred to as a "polyp".

Some people decide to have these nodules surgically removed. While this has
often proven to be a successful method for dealing with the immediate
problem, it does not take care of the cause, and many singers find that
their nodules, within months of having been removed, begin to reappear.

In contrast to this "quick fix" approach, I decided to heal the damage to my
chords while developing a new and much stronger long-term strategy to
protect and enhance my voice.

As a result of learning correct vocal technique, the nodules on my vocal
chords disappeared and my singing voice returned. Everything I hoped to
achieve happened, and more. My range began to expand well beyond what it had
previously been and I had developed greater projection and control.

Through these exercises you will find that, if you follow the advice I
outline in the tutorial, you will notice a definitive improvement in all
aspects of your vocal style and production and if you practise these
exercises on a daily basis, I guarantee you will achieve the best version of
your voice that you possibly can.

It's an exciting journey you are about to embark upon and I wish you all the
best with your new routine.
Roxanne

ABOUT ROXANNE KIELY

Aside from working on her own career as a musician, songwriter and
performer,
Roxanne has developed a strong reputation as a vocal tutor for the past 14
years, counting many of Australia's current singing stars as pupils. Check
her website for more details (www.roxanne.kiely.com). In 2001, Roxanne and
her husband, Stephen Kiely, consolidated their individual creative efforts
under the business name ScoopFX. The original intention was for the name to
represent and manage them as solo performers, as well as the vehicle of
their original music, Prodigal Twins, and covers band, Cover ME. Since 2003
the business has expanded into vocal and musical instrument tuition. Their
annual Student Concerts have developed such a successful reputation around
Sydney, Australia that Roxanne and Stephen were recently commissioned to
produce the inaugural Search For A Star competition (www.scoopfx.com/star/).

With a weekly base of 90 students, ScoopFX Music Tuition demands a lot of
their time and attention, but they both value their song writing skills and
keep them honed by bringing on and co-writing with promising students, thus
passing on a greater wealth of musical knowledge via ScoopFX Music Tuition.

In 1997, after becoming disillusioned with the lack of support for
songwriters at ground level in Australia, Roxanne, with assistance from
co-founder gilli moon, formed Songsalive! (www.songsalive.org). Within a
couple of years the organization had grown from a handful of members in one
city, to an international member-driven group which has become a force in
every country in which it is represented. Since 1999, Roxanne has been
directing virtually all aspects of the organisation's Australian arm.

In 1997, Roxanne wrote a song called 'Binomea' and had her 25 piece
children's choir sing for Channel Seven's "World Around Us" program. The
documentary concerned the famous Australian landmark, the Jenolan Caves.
Recently, Roxanne was presented with the TSA (Tamworth Songwriters'
Association) Award for two of her songs, "Little Bit Of You" and "Many
Dreams Later", from her self-produced and self-funded album entitled "See
The Difference".

TESTIMONIALS:-
"Since beginning singing tuition with Roxanne Kiely, I am amazed at how much
better I am singing on so many levels. Fair enough that may sound clich?d -
but I am a male vocalist who has been performing

professionally for over 10 years and have had singing lessons from well
known & established singing teachers the entire time. Only now (finally) am
I seeing results I wish I had been having 10 years ago. My family are all
musically inclined and after even the 2nd and 3rd lesson, they commented on
how enjoyable it was to hear me start singing as I was. It is honestly all
because of Roxanne and her method. I have her CD's in the car and practise
for maybe 20 minutes a day and am able to complete numbered exercises that
are over double what I could reach on my initial lesson. I have been seeing
Roxanne for a weekly lesson for approx. 2 months now and have progressed
more in that time, than I did with all my previous lessons from other vocal
teachers put together. Words can really not describe just how impressed I am
with both her and my progression."

"My 16 year old daughter Caitlin started vocal tuition with Roxanne Kiely in
Feb 2006. Caitlin?s voice had been developing nicely over a number of years
but in the last 6 months we have seen remarkable improvements in her vocal
range, quality and breathing. At recent performances many people have
commented how much more powerful her voice has become. Roxanne?s suggestions
for performance techniques have been invaluable and have given Caitlin so
much more confidence. Over the years Caitlin has tried many different vocal
exercises, but Roxanne?s method produces results. I don?t have to remind her
to do them, she wants to, because she can see real improvement. With Roxanne
it?s not just the vocal tuition, it?s the enthusiasm, the supportive,
encouraging style, not only from Roxanne, but also from her partner Stephen,
who is ready to help and give advice when needed. We feel so fortunate to be
students of ScoopFX."
Kim Harnett - 2006 - kim.harnett@...

"Alaina Bodley has been attending singing lessons under Roxanne's tuition
for the last 10 to 11 months. She started singing at 10 years of age and had
had no previous experience or lessons. Alaina first began singing struggling
to reach most notes, as her voice was very airy and husky. After an
examination from an ENT specialist it was noticed that she was close to
getting nodules on her vocal chords. Roxanne encouraged Alaina to practise
projecting her voice forward and use the correct voice placement techniques
in order to not damage her young vocal chords. In time, with lessons just
once a week, Alaina's voice has improved tremendously. Recently Alaina has
sung songs with relative ease, which in the past she struggled to get
through. I am extremely pleased with her progress and she is very pleased
with herself as well." -
