Hey, I’m Lainey ~ former opera singer turned singer songwriter, voice & creativity coach. Reawaken Your Voice was born from a time in my life when I had worked so hard to mold my voice into what I thought it was *supposed* to be that I lost my way as an artist and stopped singing altogether. After years of trying to categorize my sound and perfect my technique, I felt boxed in and creatively stifled by playing a role and singing other people’s music. I just wanted to express myself through my voice… to create for the sake of creating. I wanted to find my own voice… on my own terms. So I started to write songs and make the kind of music I wanted to sing. I rediscovered the joy and freedom of creative expression ~ free from judgment and fear. I blazed a trail to liberate my voice from the box I had placed it in ~ and now I’m here to show you the way.

In the second part of our conversation about exploring songwriting as a creative outlet, I go deeper into what you need when you're getting started with writing your own songs. Whether you’re a writer whose strength is in the lyrics, a singer who doesn’t play an instrument (or lacks confidence in your existing instrumental skills), a musician who plays by ear and wants to find your unique voice, or you can relate to bits and pieces of all of these, I’ll break down the essentials for you so that you can just get moving. I’ll give you an overview of what you need in terms of musical skills, song structure, where to begin, and how to bring your own artistic voice and style into it ~ so you can move beyond singing other people’s songs and into the creative world of writing your own music. <3 Lainey Related Episodes: 48 | Songwriting as a Creative Outlet Pt. 1: My Journey from Singing Other People's Music to Writing My Own Songs P.S.

Have you ever felt the desire to explore songwriting as a creative outlet? Whether you are just playing with the idea, wondering where to begin, or you've got notebooks full of songs and you're wondering what to do with this treasure trove of ideas, you're sure to find something of value in today's episode. I went on a little bit of a journey here, sharing my story of the pivot I made over a decade ago, when I stepped away from the opera profession and shifted to writing and singing my own songs... So much of a journey that I decided to break this episode into 2 parts, with part 2 going deeper into what YOU need when you're getting started with exploring songwriting as a creative outlet. So stay tuned! In part 1, I talk about why I felt called away from the well-trodden operatic path and into the wilderness of blazing my own trail as I began writing my own music and rediscovering my voice through songwriting. I pray that hearing my story will ignite some spark of inspiration in you to follow your inner voice, follow your heart, and answer the calling that's leading you to find your own artistic voice... so you can experience the joy and freedom of expressing yourself through your voice ~ in your own words, with your own stories, your own melodies, in your own creative style. <3 Lainey P.S.

Are you a singer who wants to make your own music and explore songwriting as a creative outlet? Do you feel like you have songs inside of you, but you’re struggling to get them out for one reason or another? Singing other people’s music is great and everything, but you have your own stories, your own experiences, your own feelings and emotions and concepts that you want to bring to life through music. And you want to do it in your own unique voice, with your own artistic style. But where to begin with all the moving pieces... the musical skills, the words, playing an instrument, the vocal style, the whole production of putting all these things together into a cohesive work of art? Or maybe for you, it’s not so much the “how,” but all the other creative blocks that seem to get in the way. The resistance. The inner critic. The everyday life stuff... Well in this episode, we’re going to get into all of that as I lay out 5 common roadblocks singers have to writing their own music and singing their own songs. But not only that ~ we’ll also bust through each obstacle one by one so you can get to the freedom and joy that come with creating something of your own and expressing what's on your heart. <3 Lainey Mention: 34 | Why Making Time for Your Creativity Isn't Selfish, but ESSENTIAL to Your Holistic Well-Being P.S.

Are you longing to experience the freedom of singing and the joy of making music without all the technical stuff and the noise of the mind getting in the way? As a vocal artist and highly creative person, you know that being free to express yourself and create for the sake of creating is a feeling like no other. But it can sometimes get lost in the pursuit of mastery, of conquering vocal technique and gaining the musical skills and knowledge to translate what’s coming through you. So if the answer to vocal freedom and creative flow isn’t found in vocal technique and musical mastery, then what SHOULD we focus on to get us to that place of feeling free in our voice? In today’s episode, I’ll dive into the ONE thing you need to focus on in order to truly set your voice free and express yourself creatively through singing and songwriting. And not only that ~ I’ll also share with you what that one thing opens up for you, what it allows you to do as an artist, how to get started with it, and why it’s important on your vocal, musical, and creative journey. Because once you get a taste of that freedom… you’ll want to find your way back to that place again and again.

There are seasons of the vocal journey when we step away from the stage, lean into the silence, and spend some time away ~ whether we’re seemingly forced into it or we intentionally choose to take a break from performing.

This one goes out to all the singing mamas out there, the musical mamas to be, the singers who also aspire to be mothers one day. Can we just say… motherhood is hard! It is both the most difficult thing I’ve ever done AND the most rewarding. So what does all of this mean for your creative life, your music, your voice, your art? Today’s episode is more of a candid, open conversation in which I’ll share a bit of my story, but I also want to give you some ideas in terms of what has worked for me when it comes to balancing motherhood and artistry as a singer. I hope this episode will give you a dose of encouragement to keep singing through it all, and reassurance that you can do and be both.

If you’ve ever considered yourself to be a perfectionist, then today’s episode is for you. As a “recovering perfectionist” myself, who has learned to see the truth through the lies and who has found a way to deal with these tendencies when they inevitably creep in, I want to share with you some of the tools that have worked for me. Because if you allow perfectionism to take over and infiltrate your creativity, it can completely derail you as an artist. And it doesn’t have to be that way. You can create beautiful work without beating yourself up along the way. You can achieve greatness without the pressure of never feeling like it’s good enough. You can move beyond the paralysis of tearing yourself up throughout the creative process and back into playful, joyful creating while still making beautiful music. Here are 3 questions you can ask yourself to discern between the destructive energy of perfectionism and the constructive energy of reaching toward excellence so you can rediscover the joy in singing. <3 Lainey Next Steps: Work with Lainey: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Watch the Free Workshop: reawakenyourvoice.com/workshop Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Us: support@reawakenyourvoice.com…

Sharing your voice in the world requires vulnerability. Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Stepping into the unknown and allowing people to witness you in it . Being seen and heard in this way can bring up a lot of fear and insecurities when it comes to your singing voice and your creative expression as a whole. The good news is that when you practice doing this, it becomes familiar, it becomes known. Through practice, preparation and repetition, you begin to feel at home in your voice and on stage ~ whether it be a physical stage with spotlights and a live audience, or a metaphorical stage where you’re stepping in front of the microphone to record something you’ll share later, or in front of the camera in a virtual space… or even just opening your mouth to sing in a group of people sitting around a campfire. But how do you get to that place of being comfortable singing in front of people, opening your voice and sharing your heart so vulnerably? Well that’s what this week’s episode is all about. I want to share with you 5 tips to grow your confidence and expand your comfort zone so that you can overcome the fear of singing in front of people and confidently share your voice with others. And hey – You got this. I believe in you. It’s time for you to start believing in yourself.

There’s a seed within you that was planted long ago and is only awaiting your activation in order to crack open, rise up, reach for the light, open and blossom. And that seed is your desire to sing, to make music, to use your creativity and your voice as an instrument to express what’s in your heart. But it’s all too common to allow that seed to go dormant, burying it deep, fearful of what may happen if we begin to acknowledge it and water it and allow it to grow roots in us. I’ve heard from so many people just like you throughout the years who have expressed their sadness in realizing how much they have denied themselves permission to follow their passion and have suppressed their desire to sing. Today, I want to help you eliminate this denial and take that pivotal step of giving yourself the permission to sing. By making this simple yet essential decision to nurture your voice, you allow the natural growth process to unfold ~ so that you can move forward in giving that seed everything it needs to thrive. May this episode help your voice to grow and flourish with ease! <3 Lainey Mention: Who Sang the First Song?
