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. If you’re ready to finally discover a creative, holistic pathway to find your voice… Simplified building blocks to write your own songs, start to finish… Playful singing exercises & creative prompts to connect with your voice in your own time and space… The courage and confidence to bring your artistic vision to life… Grab that notebook full of ideas and brew up some herbal tea… it’s time to take music off the backburner and finally give voice to those unsung songs in your heart.
