Course content

4 sections • 41 lectures • 1h 22m total length

  • Introduction1:24

    Explore how vocal psychology blends self acceptance, healing, and self actualization with technique to overcome emotional blocks, freeing the body for performance on stage, recordings, or open mics.

  • What is Vocal Psychology?4:20

    Vocal psychology presents a mindset for singing and performing with freedom and emotional connection. Emotions drive technique, so mastering the mind enables authentic expression and healing for performer and audience.

  • Mind, body & voice2:57

    Singing engages mind, body, and soul, and empowering thoughts create a resonant, warm, intentional voice while self-limiting beliefs weaken muscles.

  • Self-limiting beliefs2:11

    Identify common self-limiting beliefs in singers, understand their protective function, and learn how learned habits, stories, fears, and excuses create obstacles to growth.

  • Blocked throat1:12

    Address how a blocked throat creates a lump or tight feeling when singing and hinders self-expression, linking the throat chakra to voice and a workbook meditation.

  • Jaw tension2:22

    Explore jaw tension as a sign of blocked throat and repressed emotions, and learn to express feelings and reframe beliefs to release mouth tension while singing.

  • Blocked chest0:53

    Open the chest and solar plexus outward while singing. Shyness or anxiety tightens the chest; viewing the audience as friends relaxes the upper back and opens the heart chakra.

  • Blocked core0:39

    Learn how the core acts as trust in singing, how anxiety and lack of core engagement affect focus, and how mental states influence chest solar plexus and vocal performance.

  • Face your demons2:38

    Face your fears by guiding an inner dialogue with blocked parts of your system, acknowledging beliefs, and negotiating productive performance plans—supported by a coach or trusted friend, or solo meditation.

  • Mantras & turnarounds2:31

    Turn negative self-talk into powerful turnarounds by writing a list of self-limiting beliefs and replacing them with positive mantras, practiced daily for 30 days to boost resonance and mood.

  • Create a new belief system1:39

    Create a new belief system by listing desired beliefs and, for 30 days, looking for proof in your singing and performance that supports them.

  • Coping toolbox1:49

    Develop your coping toolbox by forgiving yourself on bad days, committing to feeling better, and collecting strategies that change your state—from hiking and meditation to singing and workouts.

  • Vision statement1:39

    Craft a concrete vision statement for your ideal life as a vocalist and person, answering guiding questions to map a near-term roadmap, listen to your intuition, and pursue fearless learning.

  • Closing remarks - section 10:19

    Celebrate the deep work, remove tension, and open up for emotion and connection with your audience. Prepare for the next chapter on emotion and connection with your audience.

Requirements

  • An open mind
  • A willingness to learn
  • Full commitment to developing your voice and yourself!

Description

Hi darlings!

My name is Maru, and I'm going to teach you how to sing, perform & think like a professional artist, and how to set yourself up for a successful singing career.

I started my career as a psychologist in the Netherlands, and quickly realized I wanted to follow my passion for music. Long story short, I really did not know how to sing or how to perform at all, I was far from a natural singer. The one thing I had was the sheer determination to learn.

I’d love to share with you how I went from an ‘ok singer’ to consistently getting the most wonderful praise for my vocals, hearing my songs on the radio, getting signed as a singer/songwriter for Sony/ATV, and most importantly: singing in front of large & appreciative audiences all over the world and actually ENJOYING it instead of feeling...embarrassed.


Here’s what you can expect from this course:

Section 1 addresses all the possible obstacles you may face, from feeling physically blocked to any self-limiting beliefs and negative self-talk you may experience. ANY issue is solvable with the right tools, the right technique and the right mindset!

Section 2 offers an amazing way to lead from emotion when you sing. This is a GUARANTEED way to win fans and deeply move your audience.

Section 3 delves deeper into what it means to be a professional artist. Having a great voice is amazing, but only the beginning if you want to make singing your career! We will go over some crucial elements that separate the amateurs from the pro’s.

Section 4 focuses in on ways to continuously improve your voice, your performance and yourself. Progress, not perfection is the goal!


Please note: this course does not offer singing exercises! We focus on building a brand, a style and a success mindset. Please check my course on Voice Technique for the technical part of singing.


My former and current students are now releasing songs professionally, doing regular live gigs, are getting private auditions on talent shows such as ‘The Voice’ & ‘America’s Got Talent’, and are confident singers on stage and in the studio. I've been very fortunate to sing professionally and get the most exciting opportunities, after genuinely thinking I did not have a chance... and now YOU can learn how to be a professional artist.


Set yourself up for success by considering these tricks and ideas that took me years to accumulate!


Rooting for you,
Maru


PS: I’ll gladly answer your questions in the discussion board!
