Here are just a few
"Singing Success" Stories
"For the first time in my singing career, singing is now as
easy as speaking. Thank you Singing Success and thank you Brett Manning."
Lyndon Barrington Allen
Dove Award Nominee
"Brett possesses a fully integrated knowledge and systematic approach to
developing a healthy, natural sound, combined with a wonderful artistic
sensibility, keen ear and positive approach. Brett is my first and only voice
teacher. Since studying with him I have added over a half octave to my voice and
feel an easy release throughout my entire vocal range. I can recommend Brett to
professionals at the top of their game, as well as those taking their first
steps to discovering their potential and everyone in between."

Mr. Manning,
I'm sure that I don't have to tell you how incredible your program is. I
just feel like I need to share something with you, about my recent
experience with it. Again, I have no doubt that you hear similar
stories all of the time, however...
I just purchased your Singing Success Course three weeks ago. I have
had significant vocal damage over the last two years due to GERD, and
had lost approximately four notes from my upper range, which is the
original reason I ordered your program. After listening to your
video and the Introduction CD, I was convinced that your system could
help me. I then began my "therapy" using Lesson One of the technique
sessions. I was only allowing myself to practice 10 minutes a day for
the first week. Then, as I began to feel better, I began extending the
time. I now do two 20 minute sessions a day, with a half hour break in
between. I moved on to Lesson Two yesterday and then went out to
Karaoke with my friends that evening. I planned to only
sing one song with an easy range.
Well, I ended up singing three songs with absolutely no pain!
Additionally, my last song was Bridge Over Troubled Water (the
Simon and Garfunkle version). About halfway through it, I realized that
my control over the R&B licks was effortless! Then, when I got to the
the high part after "Sail on, Silver girl" I made the jump without any
extra push, whatsoever! And that's not all!! When it came to the
highest note of the song (my recent limit), I just knew I would own it,
and so I actually shot up two extra tones, just for a beat, to really make the
moment my own. My friends were dumbfounded! All of this with no stress,
no strain, less than half the air, and most importantly, no pain!!!!
In other words, in just three weeks with your system, I have achieved
the following:
1) Obvious relief and apparent healing from the scorched
vocal cords.
2) A total revamping of my singing technique (beginning stages)
3) New, easier control over my vocal "licks"
4) I've regained the vocal range that I had "lost" over the
last two years
While I still have breaks between my co-ordinations, they have become
much less noticeable and I am confident that they will fade away as I
continue. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! I believe that you are a gift to all singers from God himself!

Dear Brett, I
purchased the Singing Success program and love it. I was asked to sing
a solo at church. After I sang the solo, people keep asking me to sing
again. Especially my choir director. This is all thanks to you!

"After 40 years off and on Broadway and God only knows how many voice
teachers, finally a method that really works. Hallelujah! God bless you Brett!"
Richard Mathews, NYC
"We love you, Brett!"
The cast of Elton John's
Broadway smash, "Aida"
"After 17 years of singing professionally, with several #1 hits, I feel like
I've found my voice only in the last few weeks! Brett Manning's amazing
technique added almost an octave to my range in one lesson. Instead of straining
and only sometimes reaching high C's I now sail right past high C to high G with
no vocal strain! Thanks Brett. This feels like magic.
By the way, my children have used your program for years now and they
all have fat bank accounts from singing studio sessions in some of the
nicest studios in Nashville. We are all very grateful, as you can
imagine."
Morgan Cryar

"It is only on a few rare occasions during an entire lifetime that one meets
a Master Teacher: one who truly inspires and permanently changes the course of
a life. Brett Manning is such an individual."

This is Joe Pignato from Central Florida. I'm one of your phone lesson
students from a while back. I'm just writing to say thank you, thank
you, thank you!!! My voice seems to improve a little more everyday with
your methods. I'm doing things I never thought I would be able
to do!"

I have been going through your Singing Success material and have been
able to sing freely much higher than normal without putting strain on my voice.
I could have kissed your feet when that happened!
My voice went well above soprano high C, which I haven't been able to do for
years. When I was young I had an incredible voice and range but I have been
neglecting the gift for years, sad to say. I feel that you have been placed in my life for this
very purpose...so I can sing beautifully again.
Sandra Pearce, Seattle WA
Dear Brett: I am a vocalist with a Bachelors and Masters Degree in
vocal performance. I have been singing all of my life and I have been
studying singing for seventeen years.
I
have been frustrated because of what the so-called pedigreed teachers
have been telling me for years, like "supporting from your diaphragm,
bring the sound forward, lift your soft pallet". All my singing life
I've asked God, “how is anyone able to express and feel free in singing
with all this.”
As a result, I've had a lot of vocal issues and have been straining for
my head voice and of course as a result, I have lost three notes (upper
register). I always knew that there was a way to
unlock my voice but what always frustrated with the techniques my
professors of voice have been giving me.
I
was never able to feel free in my performance or with my talent. I
prayed to the Lord and as a result, the Spirit of God led me to your web
site and your "Singing Success Program." I got it in the mail and let
me tell you this "OH MY!"
The First lesson exercise I found my whistle tone and not only that,
now I can sing higher WITHOUT ANY STRUGGLE OR STRAIN. I 've got my head
voice back and then some. That
was all on the first day of receiving your system.
Keep on with your ministry and your career. You are helping a lot of
singers and musicians become liberated in their art. You are truly a
gift to all singers. When I get my Grammy Award, I will definitely be
thanking you. I am telling all my friends in the biz. May the Lord
Bless and Keep
you in all that you do.

Brett Manning’s Mastering Vibrato lives up to the
expectations established in his Singing Success
program. Brett has created a 3-CD instructional product designed to
help students develop, strengthen, and control their vibratos to
establish the sound and vocal quality they seek in a variety of musical
genres.
The 3-CD program embodies the perfect combination of instruction,
modeling, practice, and application. Not only does Brett explain the
dynamics of vibrato, but he also models the techniques for enhancing
vibrato and gives his students the opportunity to practice the exercises
he demonstrates. He also gives excellent instructions and examples
intended to ensure singing success and vibrato mastery.
Pedagogically, Brett’s Mastering Vibrato program (along
with his popular Singing Success program) is one of the
best vocal instructional programs on the market today. The only thing
better is one-on-one instruction with Brett."

"Brett Manning is by far one of the most effective and efficient voice
teachers. His intimate understanding and knowledge of the myriad of vocal

process. Brett consistently produces MARKETABLE vocalists of the highest
quality, through an ongoing, healthy involvement with the newest sounds and
styles utilized by only the cutting edge artists. I would recommend Brett
Manning to singers who have the greatest commitment to improving their track
record."

"It developed my voice and helped me accomplish my dream."
Deneyse Ellen Varnsdale
Miss Southwest Michigan,

As an already established recording artist in the Christian music industry, I
thought there was more from my voice that I still wasn’t getting out of it.
Brett Manning helped me find an extra half octave on the top end of my range and
gave me a deeper, richer tone with far less effort. He is fast and efficient. He
knows how the voice works and never guesses. I feel that I am singing easier now
than I ever have.
Steve Smith, Nashville
I am Matthew from Singapore. For a long time, I yearned
for a reliable, versatile, stable and solid technique. I had gone through much
vocal abuse, confusion and despair over these years. My voice used to crack very
often, I went flat and my diction was hopeless. But the Lord was gracious
and after many months of searching and praying, I stumbled onto Mr. Manning's
web page. I was thinking: "Maybe Mr. Manning can help someone so vocally
hopeless like me."
In my first lesson, Mr.
Manning helped to bridge the chest and head voice with a few exercises. He extended my
range to a high C. This really amazed
me! I never thought it possible that I could sing to a high C in REAL voice! I
NEVER obtained such results from any first vocal lesson before!
Mathew Quek, Singapore
"I am so excited... I can't hide it! It's happened - my larynx
stays down and I can sing SPEECH LEVEL!!!
The instruction in your program is so precise, yet purposefully
relaxing and entertaining. Your reassurance and even praise is
inspiring in those self-doubtful moments of "will this work with me?."
YES is the answer, with patience and practice. I would have never
realized that I could feel so strongly about words like "nay nay nay"
and "mum mum mum" and others... it's just incredible! I must admit that
I was a bit impatient at first, so I moved rapidly on to disk 6 and 7.
Then I decided that I should go back to disk 4 and reapply myself with a
slower more focused intent. That's when speech-level happened for me!
I've been diligent with the exercises... but I realize that the training
you have perfected in this system cannot be rushed.
I am 57 and have always loved to sing, but was never trained to sing
correctly. I recently have been singing along with the self-titled CD
from Michael Buble. At first I could not even approach the high notes
without straining... which was AWFUL!!! Now I can match his EVERY
NOTE clearly and smoothly. Thank you, Brett. I can't wait to see what's
next!"
