Hi Singers! Do you want to improve the way your voice sounds? Like, you're good with pitch, you have some vibrato, maybe you even feel good about your range, but your tone lacks "richness" or "depth". In that case, let's work on tone! One way to feel more confident as singers is to notice when our true voice is being dampened or hidden. Improving tone can help you release and embrace your unique voice! Sing along to the following exercises:
- Hums (resonance)
- Ooowee-ooowee-ooowee-ooowee (vocal color changes on each pitch)- Ya-ya-ya-ya vs. Yeah yeah yeah yeah (dark vs. bright tone and resonance shifting)DISCLAIMER: Be sure to listen to your voice. If any note feels uncomfortable or painful, stop singing.

About Sing Confidently, Live Creatively - Theatre Kid Singing Tips, Singing and Performing, Vocal Exercises, Vocal Technique, Vocal Warm-Ups
From the publisher's feed
PODCAST RETURNING SEPTEMBER 2026!
Hi performers! Welcome to the Sing Confidently, Live Creatively podcast, a show for professional and pre-professional performing artists who want to build confidence in their singing!
Are you intentionally pursuing a professional career as a musical theatre actor but your voice is not as powerful or reliable as you'd like?
Do you want to feel confident in your voice at auditions or on-stage, but don’t know how to develop your vocal technique?
Do you wish you could learn how to belt, mix, improve your vocal range, or sing riffs, but you don't know where to start?
I get it! Hi, I’m Estelle, a Professional Singer, Actor, and Voice Teacher in my online studio, Creatively Performing Arts. I also teach and music direct locally in North Carolina at various music studios and theaters!
I grew up performing, but everyone kept telling me to save the arts for retirement or the weekends. So after college, I went to medical school, thinking that was the safest path. But I realized I had those creative passions for a reason and couldn't stay in a career that hid my gifts. So, I decided to leave. Dramatic, I know, but I'm in theatre after all!
After I left medical school, I started a Masters in Music and Music Education at Columbia University (hybrid) and developed my voice intentionally while helping other singers along the way. I began to build confidence in my dreams and my voice beyond what I'd ever known!
I want to help you do the same - build confidence in your singing voice so you can live your creative dreams!
On this show, you will learn how to sing with more confidence, how to train your voice consistently, how to prepare your songs for auditions, how to belt, how to develop mix technique, how to breathe properly as a singer, and more!
You’ll get mindset tips to help you take action on your creative gifts in spite of imposter syndrome, self-doubt, rejection, and fear of what people think.
With incredible guests, from Broadway performers to a Latin Grammy award winner, to local theatre and music artists, and my own current and past experiences, this will be your one-stop shop for all things singing, performing, and creative inspiration! Plus, you’ll hear lots of fun musical theatre references!
Alright choir lovers and theatre-kids-turned-theatre-adults, this is your time.
Start singing with CONFIDENCE today!
