We All Play the Same Instrument


A lot of people believe that famous singers were born with magical vocal cords.  However, the definition of "muscle" proves that the vocal cords of a famous singer are no different than yours.  We are all human and we all have the same muscles.  You just need to learn how to play your human instrument.

A PERFECT EXAMPLE

A lot of inexperienced singers have the same question about their voice:  "What the heck? How does this thing work?"
Well think of it like this.  You are at a concert and can't help but notice how amazing the guitar player is.  Is it his guitar that is special?  No, it is just like any other guitar.  However, he has become very familiar with his instrument and can play it very nicely.  Well now lets say you took his guitar backstage and messed with its tuning and switched around the strings.  He would come back on stage and sound horrible.  You know why?  Because he would be unfamiliar with his instrument.  Now HE would be saying, "What the heck? How does this thing work?"

A lot of people think singing is a mystery, but it is only a mystery if you do not know how the voice works.

Again, we are all humans and share the same muscles.  When you see those huge bodybuilders on TV that look like a pile of rocks, don't say "wow how did they get that big and strong?"  Everybody knows how they did it.  They spent time and hard work in the gym every day conditioning their muscles.  Well that is what you need to do with your voice.  Condition it everyday with proper technique and you too will be able to hit notes like your favorite singer.

Think of your favorite singer right now.  Ok... Now, what is the difference between YOUR vocal cords and THEIR vocal cords?  NOTHING!  Of course there are differences of length and thickness, but that just determines how deep or high your natural sound will be; that is just like the difference between the thickest string on a guitar and the thinnest string on a guitar.  The point is: WE ALL HAVE THE SAME INSTRUMENT!  Some are just more experienced and know how to use their instrument. 
 
Now think of your favorite guitar player.  You can buy that same guitar.  If you and your favorite guitar player have the same instrument, then that means they are only better than you at guitar because they are familiar with their instrument.  You and your favorite singer also share the same instrument.  The only difference is that they are more experienced and familiar with their voice.  With proper training, you too can learn how to play your human instrument.

If you haven't checked it out already, I highly suggest taking a look into Brett Manning's Singing Success.  Go to the website and check out the online video in the "Free Stuff" section, listen to the before/afters, and the before/after contest.  The great thing is that they offer a 6-month money-back guarantee.  If you don't see results, you have 6 months to return it for all of your money back.  Its a great start and will build the foundation of your voice.  Good Luck!
