„Speech Level Singing is an absolute refusal to reach for any pitch. In other words - the larynx needs to stay on the general level of where you speak - hence Speech Level Singing. Speech Level Singing applied correctly eliminates breaks between chest voice and head voice, increases range as well as ease in which to sing - all musts for singing without damaging your voice as well as for having a successful singing career.” /Seth Riggs/
Many of you will probably be familiar with the term “Speech level Singing”, coined by the iconic American voice teacher Seth Riggs. He started singing in 1949 and has taught singing to world famous stars such as Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Ozzy Osbourne, Tina Turner, Madonna, Michael Bolton and Barbra Streisand. To teach the method of singing at the level of speech, he released his voice training program on cassette first in 1985, titled “Singing for the Stars”, which was expanded to two cassettes two years later, and finally the final 2 CD + instructional book version was released in 1992.
