Best Friends Forever

My BFF is Mike Falzone!

This post is dedicated to my student and great friend (nicknamed "BFF"), Mike Falzone.  Mike has the most outstanding musical work ethic I have ever seen.  He works to better himself as a guitarist, writer, and singer every day.  He does all of his own marketing, is a professional videographer, and still has time to be known as one of the nicest people in the music business (or any business).

Recently Mike's efforts have been rewarded and he has earned some amazing opportunities!  Perhaps one of the most exciting of these is his newly released single "Famous," produced by Grammy winning producer Mike Mangini.  I worked with Mike & Mike during their recording sessions.  Even though I heard it coming together I am still blown away by how cool this tune came out!  Hurrah for BFFs kicking butt!

Check it out and tell him I sent you.    Mike Falzone Band Page on Facebook

    Cole,

    Good question and the answer is best explained in person, so I'm glad I'll be seeing you tomorrow. You will learn how to feel your voice resonate in your cheek bones. In the meantime, if you are making an obnoxiously nasal sound you are probably on the right track to getting it out of your throat and more toward the front of your face.

    Anyone else want to comment on how they learned to feel this when they were learning it? Remember all the "NYAH NYAH" exercises?
