Voices in Motion Training

Hello my name is Tyreese Kadle, happy to meet you and thank you for visiting my blog! I wanted to create this space to share my knowledge and ideas about the intertwining of exercise science and singing.

I believe EVERY CAN SING. Truly believe, everyone can learn to sing. We think of singing as this solely talent based art that unless you were born with it you'll never possess skill. While it still can be difficult for someone to grasp, singing can be as simple to learn as riding a bike. But what most people are unaware of is that their posture and inactive muscles can have compromising effects on the vocal output they wish to have.

I am a vocalist having spent over 10 years specializing in operatic singing/musical theatre and also, a certified personal trainer with over 5 years of experience. While I

have noticed a tremendous amount of crossover benefits between the two worlds on a physical level, there is a number of trouble areas shared. I have witnessed this in myself and my numerous clients. We live in a world that increases muscular and skeletal complications from sitting too much, leaning forward to work on on our phones/laptops, or just general lack of understanding of their bodily mechanics.

While I think everyone can learn sing, not everyone can or even needs to meet the demands of operatic vocalizing. The tools I teach translates to any form of singing. whether it be contemporary pop, jazz, R&B, rock and more! My method relies on bringing attention to my clients own body alignment so they know what muscle groups connect to increasing breathe volume & optimal phonation/making sound emission,

My hope is to not only make my audience here aware of these possible limitations, but show the impact to their vocal performance. Along with being able to correct these muscular stumbling blocks, my clients will be able to rely on tactile coordination to repeat the process. Unfortunately our body is way more integrated than we are thought to be, so a misalignment in our hips may stem from the ankles and cause pain in the ankles and back. Likewise, neck pain can related to inactive deltoid/shoulder muscles. Everything is connected, therefore my goal would be to train the whole body, focusing on areas to maximize our performance. It is long-term work so although the impacts will benefit our singing but also our total quality of life.
