Marjorie's Story
Hello, my name is Marjorie Searcy and I am a singer. I love to sing
and really wanted to be a professional--not just a good singer, but a truly great vocal artist. I knew how to sing
with the classical, “head voice” approach and I knew how to have a pretty cool sound singing popular songs that
were down low (in my “chest voice”), but when I tried to sing a challenging pop song that had any higher notes in
it, I would “flip” over to my head voice and sound like an opera singer trying to sing R and B. Not
good.
I was afraid of that “break” in my voice and when I would approach
it, I would wimp out and sound pitiful. Here I was with a college degree in music and still having the same
problems I was having in high school. I didn’t think there was a different way to sing. I thought this was just the
way I was made and there was not anything I could do about it.
Then I met a vocal “guru.” He showed me a different way. The light
bulbs went off as I began to sing exercises that taught me to “blend” the low and high parts of my voice. A whole
new world of singing opened up to me. Gradually as I learned to sing in this “Middle Part” of my voice, my
confidence grew. I had a low voice, a high voice and a MIDDLE VOICE that bridged the two. That was the beginning of
my journey to being the singer I always wanted to be.
Soon I began to see how to help other people with the same issues. I
developed more exercises and techniques to compliment what I learned from the guru. As I started to teach other
singers, my method worked! This method, THE MIDDLE VOICE METHOD, is what I have used to teach hundreds of singers.
Now is it available for YOU to become the singer you want to be.
How the Vocal Exercises Work
You get expert teaching on the Middle Voice Method--step by step instruction on how your
voice works, what you need to do to tap into its potential and then two complete workouts targeting various parts
of your voice. Think of your voice the way an athlete thinks of his or her muscles. They have to keep them in shape
and build them up to accomplish what they want to do on the playing field. They don’t do just any
exercises either. Their trainers know which exercises will benefit them the most and use those exercises to improve
their game. Marjorie’s Middle Voice Method targets exercises that open up this middle part of the voice to create a
seamless sound from top to bottom.

singing.
Vocal Registers
Here is a great overview of the vocal registers before we tackle the 10 problems. Marjorie gives brief
descriptions of the Head, Chest and Middle Voice.
No Power
Many singers struggle with having a weak tone and not a lot of power or volume. By connecting our singing
voice to our speaking voce we can tap into a natural and strain-free full tone. Examples of how to connect speaking
and singing voice. Sample practice exercise for a confident beautiful sound.
Stress and Strain
Singers strain when the engage external muscles to do the work of the internal vocal folds. Signs of
strain are tightening of the jaw, raising or lowering the chin and tension in the neck or chest or facial
muscles
How to Last
This lesson gives the singer several tips to help his or her last note sound as strong, robust and
painless as the first.
Expanding the Vocal Range
A consistent challenging workout that is free of stress and strain will increase range, flexibility and
control. Explore uncharted territory in your vocal range with the lip roll.
Chest Voice Trap
This lesson helps singers who regularly “pull-up" notes in their chest voice. It offers help and relief
for singers who strain by trying to sing too high in their chest voice. This lesson gives great examples and
exercises for finding the mixed voice. Singers will also hear examples of the chest and middle voice. Listen and
sing these examples and you will be on your way to connecting your registers with a smooth, consistent and healthy
sound.
Weak Head Voice
Innovative sounds to connect you to your head voice. Tips for strengthening your head
voice and working out your upper range.
Stuck in a “Classical Head
Voice”
Finding and using the chest voice can be new and awkward if a singer has primarily used their head voice.
These tips and exercises will help you expand your range and gain power and control on the lower notes of your
register.
Vibrato and Straight Tone
This discussion about how and when a singer should use vibrato could quickly change the way you sing. This
lesson includes the 1-2-3-4-5 exercise example on straight tone, vibrato and the combination of the two.
Tips for Getting Those Low
Notes
This quick little tip can help you gain a note or two in that lower register. Remember to speak it, not to
force it.
Get Over Your Voice
It is all about the lyrics. Learn to communicate the song and create a powerful connection with your
audience.
Motivation to Work On Your Voice
Your voice is guaranteed to improve with these methods and exercises. Will you make the
commitment to discovering your potential?
Training Your Voice
Do you remember learning to ride a bike? It was no fun at first. Falling down, getting back up, falling
down, getting back up, etc., etc. There were tears. There were skinned knees. There were, hopefully, encouraging
words from your parents. Then, all of a sudden, a light bulb went off in your body and you could do it. Your
muscles were TRAINED and your brain was TRAINED to ride a bike. It was like flying! And from that moment you never
forgot how to do it.
It is same with your voice. Once you experience the Middle Voice, your throat and vocal cords, brain and
mouth and everything else that is involved in singing will start to work together. You have a new skill that
you have trained your voice to acomplish and you will have it forever.
Fortunately for you, you won’t have to hit the pavement and skin your knees to develop this skill. Just
a 30 minutes a day for several days in a row and you WILL learn. It is not hard. You can do it in your
car, in your home, wherever you can get a few minutes and those around you don’t mind you making weird sounds! It’s
as simple as that.
Vocal Coach in a Box
You may live in a music center, like L.A. or Nashville and have access to vocal coaches that
teach the principles in this method. They are out there. I learned from one myself. But they are expensive. Expect
to pay anywhere from $150 to $300+ per hour. And you will need several sessions to begin to see improvement. You
can learn with the Middle Voice Method in the comfort of your own home for a fraction of that
cost.
Traditional voice teachers, found in most cities, do not understand this method and will
generally teach you sing in your “head voice” all the time. If a voice teacher says to you “Learn to sing the
‘right way’ first with classical music, then you can sing anything, any style, better,” don’t believe them. It
simply is not true. If you want to sing in an operatic style, great. But if you want to sing in a popular style,
the Middle Voice Method is the ticket.
The Middle Voice Method:
The Secret to Great Singing
Are you ready to get started? Are you ready for an adventure? A new singing voice awaits you. Learn
the technique and sing the exercises. Don’t be discouraged if the exercises feel strange at first. Just be faithful
to work-out your voice with them. It won’t be long before the light bulb goes off and you are singing with
confidence in your Middle Voice.
For private voice lessons I charge $100/hour, more when I travel. I am confident that my method works and
that I am giving my clients a great value. I work hard and give my clients 100%. Even in my small town, I have a
waiting list. But it does take several lessons to start seeing the progress I expect. The good news for you is
that I have distilled the essentials of what I teach into what amounts to 4 CDs of material—teaching and vocal
work-outs for about half the cost of 1 lesson!
How Does It Work?
