The Singer’s Newsletter is a vocal tip monthly email publication, geared towards vocalists, performers, musicians, speakers, presenters, and those who work closely with them. It features articles, guest tips from artists and industry, vocal health tips, performance opportunities, resources and recommendations for products and services, and updates on student successes and projects.

Free to subscribers, The Singer’s Newsletter started as a simple email in 2002 by recording artist and vocal coach, Teri Danz. It began as a give-back to students to keep them up on technique, performance, and recording issues as well as industry/local events, resources, and performing opportunities. Over the last decade, The Singer’s Newsletter has grown dramatically to encompass a large national and international email audience. Our sponsors include Casio, and The Modern Vocalist.

5 Tips to Singing With Confidence

Confidence in singing is not just one thing. It’s a combination of knowing your voice (and what it can do), believing in and knowing the material, practice, vocal and stage technique, experience, coaching, a need to express yourself, and, of course, just sheer gumption (i.e. bravado!). To build confidence, it’s important for you as a singer (amateur or professional) to work to get to a level where you can depend on your voice, and body, and know the correct notes, lyrics, and timing of the song.

Sponsor Update – Casio, The Modern Vocalist World

Check out Casio at NAMM 2023

Under the slogan “In Harmony with Life”, CASIO presents its new digital piano concept in the form of the Hero Model Privia PX-S7000 in 360° design. Highly innovative and pragmatic, the PX-S7000 presents itself as a contemporary alternative to the traditional digital piano, which integrates perfectly into the interior design of the modern home both visually and functionally.

With over 400 high-quality tones, including three legendary concert grand pianos (Hamburg, New York, and Berlin), it features the New Smart Hybrid Hammer Action keys with spruce sides and a matching beech stand with three fixed pedals. Other features include an LED touch ring, a bright, backlit LCD display for easy navigation, and Illuminated touch sensor controls with assignable multi-function buttons, and there’s so much more!

The PX-S7000’s beautiful design comes in your choice of Harmonious Mustard, Black, or White.
The main body of the PX-S7000 can be detached from the stand and played anywhere, thanks to its optional 8xAA battery power. Check it out!!

The new Privia PX-S3100 is a slim, high-performance piano that delivers a harmonically rich sound and a myriad of features that would suit and enhance any singer, singer/songwriter, or musician. If you’re looking for a keyboard that has all the best features and an affordable price tag, look no further!

Upgraded from the PX-S3000, a key feature of the Privia PX-S3100 is its slim body, unique among 88-key digital pianos with hammer action. With a depth of just 232 mm, it is meant to fit perfectly in a bedroom, home studio, or on the go. It has Casio’s original multi-dimensional Morphing AiR Sound Source which accurately generates the unique resonances of a grand piano. Along with Casio’s Smart Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard, you get the feel and weight of a grand piano in a lightweight, sleek version. How cool is this?!  (Editors Note: Singers! A keyboard is a must-have in your toolbox!)

This keyboard began as a novel idea of applying a colorful design to the speaker fabric and led to this unique collaboration with artist, Romero Britto.
