WHAT IS THE VOICE CATHEDRAL?
The Voice Cathedral…a space where voice, beauty & spirit meet.
An in person and online voice and singing developmental coaching program, The Voice Cathedral was created by singer, actress, artist and songwriter, Carrie Manolakos. It is for both singers and those interested in understanding the healing power of sound in song and speech, valuing the master of vocal technique combined with the emotional understanding of the heart. At The Voice Cathedral, we develop singers with authenticity, mastery of their craft, spiritual fortitude and optimal artistic impact.
WHO THIS IS FOR :
For those singers who are strong in one area and not in another, wanting to create one voice that can sing style with ease and fluidity that can sing anything (in a healthy way) and want to know complete freedom, fun and ease while singing.
For those who are experienced singers who want to connect to a much deeper level to their sound, who have diminished their power over time and want to reconnect with who they really are authentically. And those who have wanted to quit, take a break or have fallen out of love with singing.
For those singers who have suffered a confusing depressive phase about the industry. (Please Note* I am not a therapist or a doctor, I can only share my personal experience of how I navigated this and healed myself)

A NOTE FROM CARRIE
I started The Voice Cathedral to guide the singers out there to understand the joy, the responsibility and challenges of having your instrument live inside of your body; feeling everything you feel and going everywhere you go. While there are many types of musicians in the world, there is none like the singer. I never had anything like this while I was learning, and looking back, it forced me to find much of it on my own. And so, The Voice Cathedral was created.
After training my entire life in every style of singing, I took what was useful and released what was not, experimented with my own sound and found a frequency that is me at my highest level. A voice that is an extension of your feelings, power, light, vulnerability, and experience in which you can do what you want, when you want, is somewhat of a superpower, whether you choose to share it or not.
I have committed my whole life to studying the voice. I have also committed my whole life to studying life itself. I have always been a student. It has become clear how important it is for me to share what I know. You can have all the techniques in the world, but if you cannot understand how to channel emotion, or are too afraid to be with all parts of you, then you have missed the sweetest lesson.
Technique is tremendously important. It comes first. You cannot move on until you understand the discipline of working in that way. That powerful sound you hear in my voice is not simply technique. It is vulnerability, it is life lived, it is courage, it is struggle, it is joy, it is play, it is every emotion I have ever felt.
Not only will you be a better singer when you come out of this, you will become a more connected human. And creating a space for more connected humans, more courageous humans, whether I am onstage myself or passing along what I know, has always been my guiding reason.
