I know I’ve been MIA, and YouTube is still the best way to find all my fav singing tips and explanations.
BUT I wanted to share a quick life update! Surprise! We’ve got not one, but TWO more boys up in the house now.
So…you may not be seeing me again for a while, because Mama’s gots her hands (and heart) very full.

I’ve been a little quiet here, and I’ve got some life updates! My son, Wesley Peter, was born on February 23 and I am loving Mom life more than I ever would have imagined. And the busyness of being a mom and a business owner has made me realize something important...I ain’t got time for flashy videos or sexy photos. I’m better suited for long form technical tutorials which you can find on my YouTube channel Singing Tips with LJDstudios. So if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of vocal technique, hop on over there and find me. I may check in on IG from time to time, but you won’t see nearly as much of me here. I’m too busy loving on my new little one! Thank you all for your support and happy singing!

Well friends, tomorrow is the day! Wish us luck and I’ll see you on the flip side! Probably with tips for singing lullabies. 😂

📣 Interrupting my usual programming for a personal/professional update!
✨ I’m so excited to now be 36 weeks pregnant and going LIVE with on her Youtube Channel Fertility From the Soul this Thursday at 11:30 am MDT to discuss vocal alignment for recording personal affirmations.
✨The path to pregnancy was not the easiest for me. My husband and I were committed to a natural pregnancy, but it took some time. I never could have prepared myself for the emotional roller coaster we were on for almost 2 years.
✨During that time I discovered the power of using my inner voice and my physical voice to create personal affirmations. I recorded phrases that felt true and authentic to me and listened to them daily. They were a huge help in keeping me focused and positive throughout the journey.
✨Finding your voice is more than just singing. Ask anyone who has ever taken a voice lesson. Our voices are so intrinsically linked to our sense of identity, that often times in finding our voice, we find deeper truths about ourselves.

🎉 GIVEAWAY alert!!
I have quietly been working on this Three Tiered Approach to Becoming a Better Singer for months now, and it’s finally ready to launch. I created it with the intention of it always being a freebie, but honestly, I’ve put so much info in here I might have to start charging for it someday…
So stay tuned because for now it’s free 👏 and comes with…
➡️ A downloadable guide
➡️ A SIX video library that will teach you how your voice works AND give you concrete exercises for “playing” it more skillfully.
So stay tuned because I’m launching this bad boy soon!

I refuse to say good riddance to 2021. Sure it had its lows, but it also had its highs. I have no doubt that 2022 will be no different, and I for one am looking forward to it!
Happy New Year!
