<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: Yellow;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dear Singers, Voice Actors, Speakers, and Business Professionals . . .<br />
What If You Could Change the Way You Feel About Your Voice In one $9.95 Lesson?</span></span></span></p>
<p></span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Sadly, at sometime in their career, every speaker, singer, actor or business professional has had to step in front of an audience, minus their &ldquo;voice&rdquo;, and begin their important presentation with that same old, tired disclaimer;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">&ldquo;Good Evening Ladies and Gentleman, please excuse my voice today but . . .&rdquo;.<br />
</span><br />
No matter what your &ldquo;but&rdquo;, may be, the truth is, <span style="background-color: Yellow;">90% of all voice problems are caused by Bad Vocal Technique, PERIOD</span>! </p>
<p>If you are feeling &ldquo;vocally challenged&quot;, it&rsquo;s time to take action to improve your Voice. No matter where you live, you can now experience Joni Wilson&rsquo;s cutting-edge, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><strong>3-Dimensional Voice&reg; Technique</strong>, </span>a voice method that is working miracles, changing lives, (and voices) all over the world.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Stop holding back your career because of voice problems and get excited about your voice!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: Yellow;">Meet Your&nbsp; 3-Dimensional Voice&reg;</span></span></p>
<p>IT ALL BEGAN when my Father developed Parkinson&rsquo;s disease and completely lost his ability to speak. Even though I was a voice teacher,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> I felt completely helpless as I tried every voice method I could get my hands on to help him speak again. I had to go against all of the doctors who insisted this would never happen. His mind was sharp, his eyes still twinkled, but his quick wit and sense of humor were silenced by a voice that did not respond to any conventional voice therapy.</p>
<p>I knew I had to go in another direction to solve his problem and bring back his voice. AND THAT&rsquo;S EXACTLY WHAT I DID! As a matter of fact I actually took his voice in 3 directions . . . Not just one.</p>
<p>I taught him how to use his entire body to put strength in his breath, and power in his voice. We added Depth; (the first Dimension of the voice), Width; (the second Dimension of the voice), and Length; (the third Dimension of the voice). Then we added that elusive 2nd (Pelvic) Diaphragm for additional power. Together we had created the first <strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">3-Dimensional Voice&reg;</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">,</span> and Wonder of Wonders . . . IT WORKED!!!!</p>
<p>Though his speech was stilted, the twinkle in his eyes and his humor returned to the delight of all who loved him, and the amazement of the doctors who shook their heads in disbelief.</p>
<p>Since then, the <strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">3-Dimensional Voice&reg; Method</span></strong> has helped thousands of people, from 8 to 80 create the voice of their dreams. I thank my father for his trust in me, and all of my students who have allowed me to use them as guinea pigs.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: Yellow;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What Makes this Voice Technique Different from Any Other?</span></span></p>
<p>Let me explain something very important . . . Traditional voice lessons just did not do it for me as a professional singer, singing 6 nights a week, 6 hours a night, on the Nevada Casino circuit. I needed &ldquo;more&rdquo; to sing today&rsquo;s music styles and to survive in today competitive business market place:</p>
<p>&nbsp; More range,<br />
&nbsp; More power,<br />
&nbsp; More vocal endurance</p>
<p>But most of all, I needed to enjoy my singing and speaking career not live in fear and dread of losing my voice every time my feet hit the stage or podium. I had a love/hate relationship with my career choices all because of my voice. I loved to sing, speak, and share with my audience, but I hated the stress, pressure and self-doubt that came with it.</p>
<p>My entire life has been dedicated to mastering my own vocal skills. As a singer, speaker, teacher, and business executive, <span style="background-color: Yellow;">MY VOICE IS MY CAREER</span> and like many of today&rsquo;s singers, I had to cancel performances because I had no more voice to give. This debilitating problem also affects speakers, lawyers, teachers, and many business professionals.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: Yellow;">FACT: Most people believe the voice begins and ends in their throat! Nothing could be <u>further</u> from the truth!</span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<u><span style="font-size: medium;">Here&rsquo;s A &ldquo;Get To Know Your Own Voice&rdquo; Tip:</span></u><br />
The vocal cords (folds) in your throat can only do 20% of your voice work no matter how you use them and if you ask them to do more then that, they just refuse and shut right down leaving you literally &ldquo;voiceless&rdquo;. By learning how to use the amazing <strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">3-Dimensional Voice&reg;</span></strong> Techniques, 80% of the pressure is taken off of the vocal cords and delegated back to the body where it belongs.</span></p>
<p><span style="background-color: Yellow;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">This site is dedicated to everyone with a message to share, speaking or singing who needs&nbsp; a powerful voice to deliver it. Watch for tips, new lessons on the virtual voice coach menu and fellow &quot;voice lovers&quot; to share their experiences. I am in love with the human voice! It&#8217;s the most amazing, God created instrument on the Planet! It&#8217;s my joy to share my &quot;voice&quot; with you!</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />

Your Voice IS Your Business Card&#8212;
Is Anyone Listening?
It&#8217;s a Fact: Today the cell phone is king, and your voice, more often then not, serves as the first&#8212;and often last&#8212;impression you will make on associates and clients.

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">In Today&#8217;s Competitive Business World<br />
One Voice Size No Longer Fits All.</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">As a business professional you will need not just one voice, but a colorful pallet of voices to fit the many clients, peers and situations you have to face every day. Whether you are the next American Idol contestant, embarking on a political career, or simply giving the financial report at a business meeting, everyday you are being judged by the sound of your voice.</span></span></span></p>

They begin their presentation with the same tired, old disclaimer: &quot;Good evening ladies and gentlemen, please excuse my voice but. . . .etc. </span><span style="background-color: Yellow;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">No matter what their excuses may be, the truth is, 90% of all voice problems are caused by bad voice technique, period!</span></span></span></span></p>

<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p><em> </em> </p></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">My voice problems began when I was 21 years old, singing in Las Vegas with the world by the tail. I had just finished as an opening act for Elvis (the real one) and people were coming in to see ME. I had wonderful opportunities coming my way and a secret fear that kept me from taking on any of them. My fear was that;</span></span>&nbsp;</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><u>I COULD NOT TRUST MY VOICE TO<br />
BE THERE WHEN I NEEDED IT.</u></span></span></p>

<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>  <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></p>
<p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Like most people with voice problems, I just kept pushing my voice by tightening, forcing and strangling it. In my ignorance of the truth, I believed that I could MAKE it perform by pushing it harder and forcing it to be louder. I kept telling myself, &quot;this is my voice. it isn&#8217;t doing what I want it to do, but I&#8217;m stuck with it, period.</span></span></p>
<p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><strong><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Boy Was I Wrong!</span></span></strong></span></p>

<blockquote style="text-align: justify;"><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The frustrating part of all that pushing was, my voice would simply say, &quot;enough is enough Joni.&quot; and shut down completely leaving me voice-less. I was the one reaping the wrath of my own vengeance, not my voice. It would simply take a mini-vacation away from me while I was forced to cancel gig after gig opportunity after opportunity because I had no voice. (Those were the days before lip-syn-king.)</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I tried voice method after voice method and nothing worked for me. Like so many singers, entertainers, and business professionals, <span style="background-color: Yellow;">my voice was ruining my budding career!</span> It wasn&rsquo;t until I became a voice teacher myself 18 years ago that I discovered I was not alone in my frustrations.That golden nugget of enlightenment and my desire to solve my own voice problems and those of my students, opened the door to an amazing discovery that helped me find my true voice and has helped thousands of others to find theirs. A powerful voice that would last a life time and one that you can trust to be there when you need it!</span></span></p>
