The Middle Voice Method

I discovered Marjorie Searcy's "Middle Voice Method" quite by accident. I'd been having tremendous difficulties with cracking on big notes and not being able to sing the belting notes I used to sing with no problem. Sometimes after a challenging song, my throat would hurt and occasionally I would even be hoarse. I felt hopeless until I happened upon Marjorie's website. I remember thinking it would be some kind of miracle to find someone who actually understood the problems I was going through with my voice. I immediately bought and downloaded all of Marjorie's exercises and singing tips and knew, after a few days of using them, I was on the right track to gaining back my vocal range and ability to sustain those difficult big notes without hurting my voice or compromise on tone. Not only did Marjorie's exercises make me sound better, but they taught me the correct way to sing without straining. She made me realize it's really very simple if you understand the middle voice and how to use it correctly. When I met with Marjorie for a face to face voice lesson, her kindness, dedication, and understanding set her apart from all the other voice teachers I've had. Before we met, I had no idea what the middle or mixed voice was and how important it is for a singer. I'm so thankful for Marjorie's help because without her I'd probably still be singing the wrong way and still frustrated with my voice problems. Thanks Marjorie for bringing my voice back and making me sound great!

I have known Marjorie Searcy for many years and have even had the pleasure and honor of singing with her before our voices were not at the best place vocally that they could be-through a turn of events we took different paths and a few years later we reconnected at a function she was singing at. When I heard her sing I absolutely could not believe my ears--her voice was not the voice I had heard before--my jaw dropped when I heard her vocal ability--it blew me away. When I asked her what she had done to sound like this she said she had been studying and improving her voice to be able to find her "middle voice" I instantly became curious and set up a couple of lessons with her. At one of the lessons I had a breakthrough. To sum all this up I would say Marjorie Searcy has a great gift not only in her own singing ability, but she has something even better, and that is a love for coaching people who want to better their voice--she does it with much encouragement, patience, and of course, many different vocal exercises that will help you strengthen your vocal weaknesses. She packs all she can in a vocal lesson. And by the way ,you ought to hear her sing!!

"Marjorie rises to the top of of the line of vocal coaches! She's crystal clear about explaining the cutting-edge techniques she teaches. These techniques effected a marked difference from the very first session . . . more control that resulted in no more stretching for those dreaded high notes! We highly recommend her and her Middle Voice Method is invaluable!"
