About me: Jill Switzer is one of the most sought-after vocalists in South Florida. She has performed at venues ranging from Donald Trump's Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach to Birdland in New York City where audience members have included Tony Bennett, Steve and Eydie Gorme, Princess Stephanie of Monaco, Faye Dunaway, and Wayne Newton. Jill has appeared on stage with Tony Award-winner Faith Prince, John Pizzarelli, Ann Hampton Callaway, and the Four Freshmen. Her voice has been heard on a public radio concert broadcast, in commercial jingles across the United States, and on the nationally syndicated radio show Dick Robinson's American Standards by the Sea, where she was just voted by listeners as the "Best New Female Vocalist" of 2005.
In addition, Ms. Switzer is a songwriter with songs published in New York, Nashville and California, and she has recently added the title of published author to her credits. In The Diva Next Door: How to be a Singing Star Wherever You Are (Allworth Press, New York), Jill provides readers with the steps for building a full-fledged, profitable singing career.
Here's a video lesson demonstrating my favorite vocal exercise!
Jill, when I was a kid I would lie in my bed at night and pray and pray - it never seemed like enough - until finally I was exhausted and could end it with a closing "sign of the cross". Same with vocal exercises nowadays (which I dread). Thank you for posting that exercise and relieving me of the drills! AMEN!!
I finally read the book and all the hype is true. Its great Jill!---lots of awesome information. By the way, I still want that delicious bean dip recipe--you woman of many talents.
I picked up your book at the library on a whim and I am so impressed! Thank you for sharing so many words of wisdom. I will be recommending your book to all of my students who aspire to a performing career.
