I’ve been in therapy for years. And sure I’ve come a long way and I’m very proud of my successes with the development of my “self”. But I just started voice lessons and really investing in my singing and oh my gosh it is so powerfully therapeutic. I’ve really had to learn how to trust myself and I’ve learned so much about my self worth and confidence. It’s like my personality is growing alongside my voice and I truly never expected my singing journey to be as deep as it has been for me. This video really helped me put aside my judgements and trust the process. And find empowerment in my achievements. Thank you for being such a compassionate soul!
I watched this video again and got even more out of it than before. Thank you for explaining the difference and interaction of the observer and experiencer. Sometimes during my songs I would be observing and wondering what the audience was thinking. Bad lol! I also saw the need to trim my song selection to just a few for a while. Thank you for your insight and inspiration. I wish I could give this video a 2nd like. Lol.
As a chronic observer, thank you for this. From those rare occasions when I've reached to experiencer stage, I can say that it's a lot more fun. So thank you for this guidance on getting there again.
This is exactly what I was searching for! For the past year or so I stopped believing in myself and trusting my voice. It's still an uphill battle. But your videos are what I needed. I feel like crying every time I watch them because you address everything I felt inside. And now I feel seen and understood.
Madeleine, thank you for the bottom of my heart. This was everything to me. I let myself be the experiencer of your words tonight so I could take it it and absorb your message. I need to put this on repeat for a few days to really let it sink in, then revisit it often. 💕
Hello ma'am! I'm a choir in our church and a musician. I played the guitar. There are sometimes that i lost my confidence in my voice. Thank you for you video and it helps me a lot. Singing in the church is not to prove that i am good but to render a song to the Lord and sing a song for His glory but i want to give the best for His glory. Thank you for the message it really helps me a lot, i learned many things, new things from you.
I struggle with the lack of skills and what my body wants to respond and it definitely responds in a traumatic way. There’s definitely a connection to the response and what I anticipate the performance is.
This is such a struggle for me. And I feel like it’s exacerbated by the worship band format. It’s not like a regular band or a regular practice for performance where you practice over and over and over before you perform. It’s like you have one practice with the group that Wednesday and the Sunday you’re on the stage making a habit. And that’s not nearly enough time for my body for my everything. For my confidence. It’s just not enough time and it sucks
I'm a chronic observer and have trouble leaving that at the door when I perform - I can do it well on my own but in front of a crowd is another story. This is my number 1 priority at the moment, leave the observer at the door. When I simply experience the song and the feelings invoked it sounds so much better and I feel so much better.
My god, you put words to an experience I had recently that I didn't know for to explain to anyone else and I had the fear that I would not be able to recapture whatever it was that I did and what had happened and you've LITERALLY just given me the map back to that path. Thank you beyond words. Truly, thank you ❤️
Totally agree, this was a fabulous lesson that encapsulated a recent singing experience I had and now I know why I had it and how to trust it can happen again. Thank you Madeleine you are the most fantastic teacher. I really do feel like you are talking directly to me!
She’s way up there as one of the best teachers on TH-cam. This lesson was worth it’s weight in gold for me. So on time!!! I really got it!! Thanks girl!’ Love your personal style too!
Heart, soul, magic, love, passion are major components to what brings out our best voice❤️Listening & learning to love our voices is important to improving it..
Well I looked through some of the comments… And apparently I’ve commented before! But I have to comment again. Madeline Harvey, you touch my heart. You help me see. And you give me courage… Not only through what you say but through the lessons I learned implement into my own thought process and technique. So, I wanna thank you again. You, my friend, are very much appreciated.
Thank you so much Madeleine! In 3 days, I'll be singing in front of a live audience for the first time and I'm really going back and forth with my anxiety, but at the end of the day I have so much soul to give, no matter what my vocal strengths or weaknesses are... I know it would be a waste to let the anxiety swallow me, I won't allow that. And your words have truly been helpful. Fingers crossed everything goes well! :)
Madeleine this is absolutely awesome.This is yogic teaching of singing which first time I am listening.thank you so much.I have to listen this video many many time to understand and experience beautiful aspect of singing …can be called ultimate……love you adore you 💞
You have articulated something that I've been intuitively grasping for the past few weeks, thank you so much for this message. It completely crystallized my understanding of that aspect, also it ignited my passion for singing even more. You have such beautiful energy, I love it!💜
This video is so underrated! This really helps because I've been having trouble being confident in my singing and it just doesn't sound like how I want it to since I always stick with the observer but now I know that I need to let go a little and have the experiencer take control for a bit or my voice is going to sound like the same expressionless thing it does now. Thank you so much for making this!!
Mel Blanc captured vocal characterization of mixed voice cracking with Elmer Fudd. If you can be satisified with your first note sounding like Elmer Fudd and still keep going you will not die...yet... but may crack up laughing, Internal positive feedback generates external positive feedback... it's all good... even if you do suck.
What a gift you are, Madeleine. I'm gaining so much through your videos. Thank you for all you do for this community! Grateful to have found it & you!!! Much love from Chicago!!!
I just love your generous spirit and courage to talk about these things….and how to deal with fears in singers. I feel less alone listening to you. I never get to talk like this…so thank you. ❤
Thank you Madeleine! ❤️ I have a feeling that this is going to help me so much. I love singing, really. Singing is all for me. The problem is when i try to sing in front of people I start getting nervous and i feel like I can’t sing anymore. I’m sure it’s all about confidence and not my voice- it’s mentally and not physically issue, which makes the fight even harder for me. I hope it’ll get better. I hope I’ll get better. Thank you❤️
I'm gobsmacked - that was a beautiful explanation of art and performance, or how to perform, and how to quiet the critical voice. I'm still catching my breath a bit from the concepts. First vid of yours I've watched, a pretty powerful place to start!
Thank you for this... I've always been so disconnected when I perform in singing, and I never understood why. In practice, I could feel it and emote... but when performing, all my practice goes to 💩 Visualizing it and feeling through it this way was so helpful! I realized that I definitely did not trust my own voice and I now I understand how to practice through observation and experiencing in a much more productive way. Gonna try this often!
From this moment I know that you're the one I want to start my singing journey with. I'll do my best to get the most out of all your videos and when I'm where I wanna be I'll come back and thank you for all❤. You're an awesome coach❤❤. Wish you the best❤❤❤
Madeleine I, I really needed to hear your words and every single sentence is so true to how I feel and have felt. There is such a nice connection to oneself. i have always felt within me that there is a song to be discovered but its hiding because of the fear of being judged. which comes from trauma when in school as a child in a music lesson I was asked to sing a song to get a good grade, which somehow left traces of not daring to sing in front of people. then I hung out with people who were good at singing but I didn't dare. Within this six months I have a new gained courage in waves from singing to myself a little bit to myself and my little children. I'm practicing listening without judging myself but it's hard. During a month or so of singing, I notice incredible progression and I know I can do more. then the wave ended and I did other things. but I know deep inside of my core that I have somethings maybe it is a feeling that want come through. Thank you for giving me hope and bringing great instructions.
This has been a beautiful video and insight that you've shared with us....and your doggo snoring was the icing on the cake... I love the way you've talked about such an etheral subject indeed. Thank you for your vision and encouraging spirit with us!
I love watching your videos. You have the most loving way of teaching. I think from now on, my observer is going to look and sound like you. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You are a blessing.❤️
Wow. Thank you for this. I have a hard time getting past the fear element of messing up and how that feels. I think this was the first time I ever took a moment to imagine what it would be like if an audience did enjoy my voice.
Amazing ! How nicely you took all fear and frustration out of the performer and launched the possibilities of presentation to possible best satisfaction and pleasure. A magic of *instinctive sound* of emotion. *Heart To Heart*
Thank you so much for your videos...I have actually been struggling with this a ton lately to the point where I have been afraid that I would "ruin" singing for myself which would be devastating because it's one of my most favorite things in the world. I went from being maybe a little too picky to incredibly harsh and cruel to myself as I analyzed every single sound. I was no longer getting into that incredible feeling of being lost in the music because I couldn't shut down the inner critic that was essentially saying things that were untrue and words that I'd never imagine being able to to say to another human being without feeling like a monster. I definitely hope I can take your advice and practice being kinder to myself and allow myself to get back into what used to come so naturally to me. I love your approach because some vocal coaches while great at explaining the technical aspects, don't always dive into what it really feels like as a singer...and how it feels like it's ingrained in your soul.
Just saw this now! Thank you so much for your support! PS. It's always a pleasure seeing you in the live chat. You bring a lot of good questions and comments. Thanks for being a part of this community! Hope to see you at the next live.
Madeleine, God bless your soul! Just recently came across your page and this video was sooo good. So beneficial. Going to listen to it over multiple times. I had never heard it be broken down this way before, and will be implementing right away (I just woke up haha) I look forward to growing and learning from you!! Thank you soooo much!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world. I’m nearly recovered from lpr and it feels like a sign that you’re posting again. I love and missed the human part of singing sooo much, I’m very excited to experience it again soon!
I lack confidence sometimes when singing. It has to do with my shyness I guess, but when I'm done singing a song im like yayyy I did it. I love ur beautiful dog by the way
I know what you mean. I can only "really sing" songs that I connect with emotionally. Yet I have to be careful. Cause the personal experiences that connect me /w that piece of music... can easily get the better of me and choke me up. Sometimes when that happens it's a good thing and I can push it all into my facial expression. (We all know how facial expressions change your sound.) In this case it helps by adding a momentary touch of "authentic pain" to my sound. ...other times it gets the better of me and I end up sabotaged by snot 😂

I’ve been in therapy for years. And sure I’ve come a long way and I’m very proud of my successes with the development of my “self”.

shes a ray of light in the form of vocal teacher
Glad to see you back. Missed you. Needed your input... Hope you're well. All the best. God bless.
As a chronic observer, thank you for this. From those rare occasions when I've reached to experiencer stage, I can say that it's a lot more fun.
So thank you for this guidance on getting there again.
This is exactly what I was searching for! For the past year or so I stopped believing in myself and trusting my voice. It's still an uphill battle. But your videos are what I needed.

Thanks... I've always unconsciously understood this but I've never heard someone say it out loud.
Jesus my soul is like... in tears, so many emotions to sort through, I'm excited for the future, thank you so much!
Hello ma'am! I'm a choir in our church and a musician. I played the guitar. There are sometimes that i lost my confidence in my voice. Thank you for you video and it helps me a lot.

NO DESIRE IS NEEDED OR SEEKING PLEASURE IN SINGING IS NEEDED, ITS JUST THERE, THATS WHEN THE TRUE JOY COMES.
I struggle with the lack of skills and what my body wants to respond and it definitely responds in a traumatic way. There’s definitely a connection to the response and what I anticipate the performance is.

I love that new intro with the piano!! It is riveting. The camerawork is exquisite and the outfits are splendid!

Madeleine
This really made me feel wow thank you for that ❤
Honestly, thank you so much
Words cannot express how THANKFUL I am for you and what you share! 🙏🏻
Heart, soul, magic, love, passion are major components to what brings out our best voice❤️Listening & learning to love our voices is important to improving it..
Barefoot at the piano! Let’s sing! ❤️🎶
I love how the doggy 🐶 was so relaxed.

Amazing exercise! Thank you for going here, it's a very new and bold video!
I LOVE this class today! Totally get what you are saying and it’s lovely to have it put into words.
Wow.....I have never considered this. Thank you. Perhaps this could be applied to real life too.
I'm gobsmacked - that was a beautiful explanation of art and performance, or how to perform, and how to quiet the critical voice. I'm still catching my breath a bit from the concepts.
First vid of yours I've watched, a pretty powerful place to start!
this is... it's a true meditation miz madeline. i have so much clarity on what i want now. i just. thank you so much.
This was a spiritual experience ❤️ Thank you for sharing your genius here! 🙏🏼🌈

Spot on!! So Cool Thank You
Thank you for your videos. Unlike any other and soooo helpful
couldn’t help notice your dog on the couch. Looks so comfortable
I needed this Madeleine. Thank you so much for inspiring us and inducing hope within us. You're the best vocal coach I know 🫂
You're the reason I'm still chasing music
Thank you for the great topic. You ate awesome 😎
Thank you so much for this content! I recently started voice lessons and I am having a hard time letting it go as I learn.
The intro is so beautiful
Madeleine!!! thank for this! i am from Argentina, big fan of your videos. It`s really beautiful and powerful to listen to you💜💜
Thank you for the advice :)
I know what you mean. I can only "really sing" songs that I connect with emotionally. Yet I have to be careful. Cause the personal experiences that connect me /w that piece of music... can easily get the better of me and choke me up.
Sometimes when that happens it's a good thing and I can push it all into my facial expression. (We all know how facial expressions change your sound.) In this case it helps by adding a momentary touch of "authentic pain" to my sound.
...other times it gets the better of me and I end up sabotaged by snot 😂
Thank you
Excellent.
Wow….. it’s like you made this video for me.
Awesome Madeleine ❤🤘🎩
