Kevin W. says, "I always thought of my singing as "okay." When I would listen to a recording of myself, I didn't think it was bad; but I also didn't think it was very good. I have no desire to be the next American Idol, but I really wanted to be able to pull out my guitar and sing around the fire or during parties and have people really enjoy it. However, because I lacked confidence in my ability, I had performance anxiety. In fact, I had never sung in front of anybody before. During my very first lesson with Michael, he had me stand in the middle of his living room and sing a song of my choosing. I was very nervous. However, once I began singing, he immediately made me feel comfortable. It got to where I would look forward to my lessons so I could sing in front of an audience!
I was astounded that during my very first lesson, he was able to identify and correct a habit of mine that I would hear in my recordings which made them sound amateurish. So, after only one lesson, I was already ahead of where I was prior to meeting with him. Eventually, Michael explained to me that I already possessed most of the skills I would need to be a good singer. He compared my voice to a "wild horse that just needs to be tamed." As I would sing for Michael, it seemed he was always able to identify the exact same spot of a song that I myself recognized that didn't sound "right." More importantly, he was able to tell me what I needed to do to remedy the issue.
I am very grateful for Michael for helping to "fine-tune" my voice and helping me with my performance anxiety. I am a better singer because of it. I cannot recommend him enough." Read more
