Hi, I’m Simon Bernstein
Vocal coach and trainer, singer, and baal tefillah
Some of my students are aspiring singers and chazzanim. MOST come simply to improve their voice. To sing nicely at a kumzitz, speak efficiently in a noisy beis medrash, perform at a family simchah, or regularly take the amud due to sudden demand.
Yaakov's Problem:
- "My brother’s wedding is in ten weeks, and I’m singing at the chuppa - can you help me?"
The Method:
- Yaakov had a decent voice, but it was a little scratchy and required control.
- First, I taught Yaakov the principles of the voice.
- Then, we set to training on the songs he’d be singing.
- We worked our way through many of the obstacles, but the high notes were still giving him trouble.
- I taught Yaakov techniques to deal with the difficult notes, and also to deal with the challenging moment of stagefright.
The Result:
- When Yaakov returned from the wedding, we watched the video of the chuppa together.
- Yaakov sang his way through all the tough parts of the songs we’d spent so much effort on, but I was still waiting for the hardest part: the top note. No need to fear: he belted out a beautiful, expressive tone, bringing the song to a close, and the happy couple to the chuppa!
When Yaakov sang that great top note, we jumped up, cheering and hugging each other. All Yaakov's hard work resulted in a great performance.
Dov's Problem:
- Dov was the quietest man in the group.
- I had been working with him for a while, but Dov just couldn’t get the sound out right.
- He definitely had a strong voice hiding in there somewhere - you could tell every so often when a small growl escaped him. But on a practical level his voice was soft and weak.
The Method:
- In a group exercise to help open up the voice, by letting out short, sharp syllables, Dov surprised us.
- The guys did pretty well at barking out the sounds - some better and bigger than others. When it was Dov’s turn, he opened his mouth and...
- ... let out such a massive sound that the man on the opposite side of the room instinctively backed away!
The Result:
- Dov had learnt how to let go, open up and unlock his huge vocal power.
- The quietest man in the group had by far become the loudest and deepest!
- Everyone applauded him for his perseverance and transformation.
- Dov now takes pride in his deep rumbling tones, and has gained the confidence to use them wherever he goes!
This was one of the most dramatic transformations I've seen in a group.
Bentzi's Problem:
- Bentzi was a baal tefillah.
- Unfortunately, his singing voice had no colour.
- This was a result of tension in the cords and neck and an overall strain in the sound.
The Method:
- Bentzi was dedicated to his vocal training, and took everything that was said very seriously.
- One of my exercises I call ‘the roar’ - a simple and effective way of letting out the sound in a hyper-relaxed fashion.
- I instructed the group to relax fully - then some more. ‘Just open your mouth, relax the throat and let the sound out like a lion!’
- Typically, students can open up around 30%. At Bentzi’s turn, he opened up 70%!
The Result:
- Bentzi looked stunned at how much sound had just escaped his throat! I knew he’d never produced that much noise in his life.
- Whenever Bentzi davens from the amud, he abandons his old pinched, squeezed voice, and instead lets his expression permeate his tefillos.
He told me afterwards: ‘I was amazed at how much volume I had inside! I never imagined I could make that sound!’

About Simon Bernstein
The Voice Journey
Years ago, thirsty to learn and teach, I got in touch with Chazzan Yechezkel Klang.
A masterful chazzan and excellent teacher, he opened my eyes to the amazing world of voice.
I absorbed his teachings like a sponge and enjoyed every moment.
Personal Touch
For me, the process of voice development was truly magical.
It was more than learning techniques. Our voice is such a personal expression of who we are, to change it I had to reach deep inside and make adjustments to my own character and emotions to unlock my voice, allowing it to come out free and uninhibited.
Little did I know how valuable this experience would be in the future, when I would be the one training an enormous range of students…
Unlock your potential
Soon I was teaching. Very quickly I discovered that teaching isn’t a ‘one-size-fits-all’ concept! Where other teachers had their fixed methods, it seemed clear to me that each voice…belongs to a person!
And each person needs a tailor-made approach to unlock their specific potential.
I teach my students: most of what you want is already inside – we just need to find it!
And thus, the Unlock Your Voice concept was born: instead of giving you a different voice –
- let's discover yours!
Process
Develop your voice to its best potential -- and really enjoy the process along the way.
