✦ The Magnificent Singer
Helps adults ready to do more with their singing but feeling uninspired by their immediate options, find a vocal sound, style and performance charisma that holds attention, create a direction that genuinely excites them, and turn "one day I'd love to..." into their next thrilling chapter. Don’t just sing. Be magnificent.
Love singing — lost on your way?
Adult singers have a hidden advantage the average 16-year-old simply will not. They have stories, taste, life experience, an opinion or two to call on — and most likely a few scars to show for it too. Incredible for singing. And often the dividing line between singing well and reaching that “the room goes quiet” singing magnificence. It’s the foundations of exceptional singing projects, distinctive artistry and charismatic vocal delivery. Take heart if just getting started in later life — you are already ahead. And if you are further down the road, singing for some time now and somehow lost on your way, it’s likely this is the missing link and what you need to return to. Magnificent times lie ahead, if you let them.
✦Where Singing Could Take You
Start Your Art. All thrilling experiences start with an idea. A collection of songs. A recording project. A live show. A choir. A concert series. A collaboration. A community. A collective. A collection of work you're proud of. An ‘80’s rock intimate soiree. Your imagination could take you somewhere magnificent, if you let it.
What's getting in your way
It's only the shower that hears you sing.
You have ideas but nothing to show for it.
You think you’ve left it too late.
You’ve lots of the go, but none of which get you jumping out of bed with excitement.
Your voice still has a few tricks left to learn.
No one knows you sing.
You’re too established to risk a new direction.
You don't know the right people yet.
No one likes your voice.
You’re terrified of singing in front of others.
Life is busy. You have to rely on other people.
You know what you'd love to do, but not how to make it happen.
The audience starts talking when you come on stage.
You're waiting until you're "ready".
You have absolutely no idea what you want to do next.
What you do no longer works.
Design your
singing life
The architecture of a singing life. There’s no one way to be a singer. You will go through some or all of these stages, sometimes several times.
1. Adventure Stage — shamelessly experiment
2. Curate Stage — keep only the good stuff
3. Mastery Stage — fill in gaps and get good, really good.
4. Artistry Stage — make something special
5. Showcase Stage — no point hiding away in the attic
6. Influence Stage — get known for what you do
7. Reinvent Stage — move on
“I started out as someone who had a desire to sing… …but was too painfully nervous to ever perform with confidence as myself in front of crowd. It couldn’t be further from where I am now, in the middle of planning my own Sassy, Swinging Jazz, Cabaret Show. Through The Magnificent Singer I have gained great knowledge and confidence to not only look forward to performing on stage no matter how big or small but also as someone who can turn up with confidence at a last minute gig having never rehearsed with the band!”
—SHARON LENIHAN. SASSY-JAZZ SINGER

Do singing your way
I was fortunate to grow up in a musical household, where music was always just there. Over time, singing led me through classical, jazz, and contemporary styles — and eventually to creating The Magnificent Singer for adults who want to do something more interesting with their singing. Your singing aspirations may be modest or world-conqueringly ambitious — either way, things tend to start happening once you find a direction that fits.
