Vocal Exercises To Smooth Vocal Glitches

Listen as I demonstrate a weird but highly effective vocal exercise that helped me get my voice back, and that I use with my students to smooth out glitchy areas in their vocal range. My thanks to vocal coach Mark Thress for sharing the scale with me, which I find best to do in this slow-motion way, morphing the syllables into each other to create flexibility and stability in the vocal apparatus.

Doug Smith Interview: Voltage Bros to Mercy Club, Working Night Shift

In my interview with Doug Smith you'll learn how this gifted music maker working with R&B icons including Millie Jackson, Nikka Costa and Prince quit it all one night. Called to the ministry, he traded the limelight to be a flashlight working with the homeless, planting gardens in 'food deserts', and working 'the night shift' to help rescue and change lives.  And he's back with music, too! Now Doug (aka 'Truth') and fellow former Voltage Brother Paul Scott (aka 'Pjaye') write, produce and perform as 'Mercy Club'.  They let me include a little snippet for you!
