& Notable Singers Trained by Thomas Appell |
 |
Amanda Spencer Contemporary Music Worship Leader and Choir Director at the Crystal Cathedral "When we started out I couldn't even sing in full voice at all. I didn't know why I didn't sound like other pop singers. My voice just always had that classical, musical theatre kind of sound. I had studied with some famous people (vocal coaches) but nobody really helped me till I came to you. It was within one or two lessons that I started to get it. It happened fast, it happened easily, there was no straining. It's just a really solid technique. You make me sound good." |

"Being a Los Angeles Clippers cheerleader has given me lots of opportunities to showcase my skills as a singer. I've sung the national anthem twice for Clippers games at the Staples center and I'm working on my career as a recording artist. You can't miss in front of a crowd of 18,000 people, and the vocal technique Thomas presents in this book and teaches in private lessons has given me the ability to consistently hit very high notes with ease and no strain. I increased my range by seven notes using this technique. If you want to increase your range without straining, buy this book and train with Thomas. You won't be disappointed."

Erika & Katherine Kerry 10 year old singer from South Orange County
"You just made it so easy. You made it make perfect sense for her. Within just a few months it was incredible - the change I could hear in her voice. I love the combination of vocal technique and your studio. Your studio is phenomenal. I brag about your studio all the time because when you go there it's state-of-the-art equipment so when you're recording their voice they get to hear right away what they would sound like if they were on the radio. I think that's really exciting and it helps motivate Katherine to want to do really well." - Erika Kerry (mother of Katherine Kerry)

Christos Hedinger

Christos Hedinger Pop/Rock singer from Vienna, Austria "I was looking for a good book with the CD added that I could use to somehow improve my singing. So I went onto the internet and was screening through amazon.com all the books-vocal instruction with CD added. So I ordered all these books- quite so many books that I got, and of course I got your book as well. I sent back all of the books but yours. And it was very easy to understand for me. This was the only book actually that made sense to me including the CDs and the examples that you have there - it made sense to me. I could understand what is happening - the way that you explain the vocal cords and how they are somehow working. That was really nice. It's the only book that has this explanation... There was this one sentence in your book which was important to me which said, 'It's possible to do it all by yourself, but it's almost impossible...' And that's why I just called you, and you called me back and here I am. If I had not done the work before... if I did not have the book, then probably it would not have been that fast within the three weeks what we did. I'm sure you have students that are faster than I was at getting to the HIGH C - by the way I did it once so it's okay... But understanding the whole process was really important to me back in Austria. But now facing you and you looking at me and telling me, "That's the way you have to do it." That helped a lot. When I came here I think I could sing comfortably to a middle C. I would strain with a D. I could not really use it in songs. After practicing with you two hours per day for now - three weeks I think I can pretty comfortably hit the G above middle C...." Thomas: "Before you read the book, if someone had told you that just by doing a few simple exercises you could extend your range by 6 or 7 notes would you have believed them?" Christos: "No. No way." Thomas: "And yet you're a medical doctor..." Christos: (laughs) "Yes I am. I thought if you have a low voice like mine with really thick cords you can not do anything about it... I thought that's it, that's you. You've got to accept it the way it is and that's fine. Try to work with the range you have." Thomas: "One thing that the book does, is it gets your belief level up so that you know it can be done and once it's proven to you that it's possible that unlocks this whole thing of ' Well maybe I can do it too.' Yes it does, and after reading the book and especially the way you were telling it in the book that you yourself had this problem. that your range wasn't much better than mine and that you can do it and I have the vocal examples on the CDs with you singing... you get the feeling 'Well it should be possible.' I know that I have a long way to go, but I will get there."

Mike Finnerty |
Mike Finnerty Pop/Rock singer/songwriter from Huntington Beach, CA "I could not sing high notes at all before I trained with Thomas. He showed me how to extend my range and sing comfortably on very high notes. I can sing for two to three hours now with no problem.Thomas also produced and recorded my album at his studio. We ended up transposing all of my songs up quite a bit because my vocal technique had improved so much. The songs sounded so much better with me being able to showcase my upper register. I was even able to sing all of the high harmonies above my lead vocals myself. The training that Thomas outlines in his book Can You Sing a HIGH C Without Straining? made a huge difference and my voice sounds incredible."

"Before training with Thomas I was a bass in the choir and had a range similar to what you would expect from a bass. It used to be difficult to sing notes above middle C. I remember being able to sing E above middle C, maybe F or F# on a good day. There was no doubt that hitting that F# was something I had to strain for much of the time, and a lot of music that I really enjoyed was just unreachable for me.
I was a little skeptical at first because there's a lot of material similar to this that one can find, but Thomas' material went through the physics and the physiology in a way that made sense. I could tell by the way it was written that this material was put together by a vocal coach that really knew what they were doing. When I read Thomas' book it was very clear to me that he had an understanding of the physics involved and that was why it was so powerful. In terms of singing a high C, that came in the first half hour of training. Previous to reading Can You Sing a HIGH C Without Straining? and working with Thomas I had thought that it was something that one had to be born with, a genetic gift, to be able to sing notes that high, and I found out very quickly that's not the case. It's really a matter of training." Click Here to View Blayze Quicktime Music Video and Testamonial |
