is an organized method of vocal training for Contemporary Commercial Music (CCM) styles, (those styles that used to be called “non-classical) based upon somatic (physical) awareness and aural discernment. The training is completed in three levels.
Somatic Voicework™ Lab
Sunday May 21, 2023
1:30-6:00 p.m. EDT
If you are someone who is using Somatic Voicework™ principles in your studio and would like to delve into the work with Jeanie, please come to this new workshop to have a chance to do just that! We are changing formats because we have been asked to try some new things. This is the first variation since Jeanie started with these ten years ago.
We will meet on May 21, 2023, from 1:30 to 6:00 p.m. EST with a half-hour break in the middle. For this first lab, Jeanie will work informally with participants one on one (or in small groups) on issues of their choice-like a mini-lesson. There will also be the opportunity to ask Jeanie questions along the way. In future labs, there may be a different focus.
There are three ways to participate: Full Participation for those who want to work 1:1 with Jeanie; Auditors who want to watch only in real time; and auditors who want to watch the day’s events on playback. *The labs are for those who have at least completed Somatic Voicework™ Level I.
Full Participants may register until May 19, 2023 at which time Full Participant registration closes. After May 19, 2023 all registrations will be for Auditors only.
Fees $125 USD
Please register as soon as possible as there are only 12 Full Participants slots available. Everyone will be sent instructions on how to set-up their Zoom settings in advance. This session will be recorded for those who cannot watch in real time.
Due to the nature of these online workshops, refunds cannot be given under any circumstances for auditors.
75% refunds will be available up to 48 hours prior for participants wanting to work with Jeanie. After May 19, 2023 there will be no refunds.

WEEK I: Working with Vocal Pathologies
When a singer has been given permission by a medical doctor or qualified speech language pathologist to return to singing lessons after a vocal injury (pathology) or illness, we must exercise great care when beginning that re-training. If you have no formal education to work with these recovering singers, there are some general things to know so you don’t accidentally re-injure them. Especially if you are the only singing resource person in your area, we urge you to attend this webinar.
WEEK II: Vocal Technique vs. Changing Someone’s Voice
Some singers mistakenly believe that vocal function lessons will permanently change their voices. They think formal lessons will cause them to lose their authenticity. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everyone who sings can benefit from functional training aimed at vocal health and stylistic honesty. You do not have to study opera to learn to sing well! We will show you the difference.
WEEK III: Exploring the Flexible Boundaries of the Voice and Body
A boundary is an edge or a perimeter. A flexible boundary is like a mesh net that stops debris but allows water to pass. Discovering where your voice wants to go and how much you can go beyond its typical comfort zone is crucial. On a short term basis you can maintain your vocal and physical boundaries but still override them safely. Learn how in this webinar.
WEEK IV: How Do You Teach Someone To Belt?
Singers who do not belt often associate the sound with yelling. Others think of it as a kind of squeezed shriek. And some people think it is something you are born with and can’t learn if you do not do it naturally. All of these ideas are wrong. Belting is a specific kind of vocal production which can be taught to any eager student. There is a process to teaching belting. Want to know what it is? Join us.
