I've read a lot of books for singers and for teachers of singing. Some work from the "outside in" - meaning, they talk about how to move your tongue, soft palate, jaw, ribcage, belly, or other anatomy to achieve certain desirable results - and others work from the "inside out" - meaning, they work with things like energy, emotion, interpretation, vibe, and just generally holistic approaches.
But usually, each approach has a downfall.
In this book, Colby marries an "inside out" approach... through the process of the awareness of one's body’s internal senses or signals with concrete neuroscience and anatomy that helps us understand what's actually going on and how to replicate it in different scenarios.
With this book, singers are empowered to find their own free, released, powerful voice, in a way that actually sticks and is repeatable and reliable.

NeuroVocal Method®
Combining the science of singing with the soul of the singer
Discover the NeuroVocal Method®, a neuroscience-based framework to improve your singing.
Have you ever stepped up to the microphone to sing, only to find that your voice didn't do what you intended? You know how you want to sound, but your voice doesn’t always cooperate.
If you’re looking for more power, range, agility, and consistency in your singing, the missing piece isn’t more effort. It’s your brain.
Vocal coach and independent researcher Meredith Colby draws on the physiology, psychology, and neuroscience of singing, as well as thousands of studio hours around the world. She has developed the NeuroVocal Method®, bringing a neuroscience-based framework to vocal training for singers of popular and contemporary musical theater styles.
By focusing on how the brain actually learns, this book for vocal coaches, voice teachers, and singers moves beyond trial-and-error instruction to create reliable, lasting vocal change.
With this brain-based approach, you will:
-
Understand neurodidactics and how your brain drives vocal performance
-
Learn to work with your brain’s natural learning processes instead of overthinking
-
Develop singing that is more powerful, flexible, and sustainable under real-world demands
-
Build greater confidence, freedom, and joy in your singing
If you are looking for a voice training tool for singing, the growing field of music and neuroscience offers a new way to get better at singing – one that starts with the sounds you want to make.
Through clear explanations and practical, guided exercises, vocalists of all levels can learn to reshape the brain’s pathway from intention to sound.
