Free your voice
Your vocal cords are your instrument, and they vibrate in order to produce sound–just like every other instrument on Earth. The only difference is, you can’t physically see this instrument.
That means you have to learn to feel it.
Overview
Singing is available to anyone with a voice–your vocal cords are your instrument.
However, much of what is taught on how to sing today flies in the face of science. The result is, singers don’t get the beautiful, rich sounds from their natural biology–and in extreme cases, can develop vocal nodules. Instructions like “breath control” or “singing in the mask” or “projecting” all became popular, but none frees the voice to perform as nature intended.
This vocal training is in response to that. If you would like to sing as nature intended, read on.
Your Instructor
After decades of performing on stages worldwide, Jim Carson now exclusively focuses on coaching students using tutorials that build on an historic method of singing.
“My mission and privilege is to pass on this singing method, with its roots in 18th-century Italian techniques, to the singers of today and tomorrow.”

My life from a very early age has been driven by a deep love of music. Even as I pursued other professions or found myself at the brink of medical school, music always pulled me back.
Many years and experiences later, my career continues to include the art. I have coached brilliant musicians and up-and-coming beginners.
I’m proud and humbled that my students have won Grammy Awards, performed on Broadway, and toured on stages worldwide without losing their voices and while discovering new ranges. But I’m also proud of my non-professional singers who learn to sing freely, for fun and for joy.

What students are saying

![Catherine Russell, singer]()
My voice was damaged when I found Jim Carson. He opened me up to a voice I didn't know I had, and I began to use all my voice in different ways--which greatly expanded my options for different types of vocal work. I highly recommend Jim's technique to any singer who is working on vocal health and maintenance. He is a true healer.
Catherine Russell, Grammy® Award-winning vocalist

![Suzanne Vega]()
I sought out Jim Carson as my vocal coach because it was getting harder to hit high notes and hold the long notes as I got older. It’s great working with Jim! Now I perform with strength and confidence, hitting higher notes than ever!
Suzanne Vega, Grammy® Award-winning singer

![Brian camelio]()
Jim has a profound understanding of the human voice, but even beyond that, his ability to share this through teaching is unsurpassed. Not only has Jim given me the gift of a voice, he has helped me become a better producer for others along the way. He is one of the true greats.

![Bradley onstage]()
Since I began studying with Jim Carson in 1996, he has guided me through 15 Broadway shows--from Sondheim to opera to rock. His unmatched expertise and science-based technique have given me a healthy, versatile instrument and true vocal freedom.

![Joseph Vann]()
Making sure that hinge was working properly and palate was moving made all the difference in the world, and permitted me to soar to higher notes as though floating on clouds! You have certainly built quite the voice in me!

Jim is a truly wonderful teacher, taking you from wherever you are, and making you better than you could ever have imagined.”
