I’ve been watching Chris teaching the principles of voice for many years. Sometimes it’s to an individual and sometimes to a group of anywhere from 6 to 1,200 students. (That was in Singapore.) I guess part of the fun is seeing that truth is always truth, no matter what country we’re in, or what language is being spoken.
The other place where I see the “Truth is Always Truth” principle is watching people mature in their walk with the Lord. We’ve started calling ourselves Christ-followers, because we don’t want to just study the ways of the Lord; we want to actually live a certain way.
Here’s a Truth I love: When Chris and I apply Acts 2:42 to our lives it has us hearing good, honest, balanced, believable and challenging teaching; interacting with others of like mind and spirit; celebrating the Eucharist (communion) and having an active prayer life. We’ve discovered that when we take the time to actually DO those things we grow. When we don’t, we get stagnant.
I’d love to know your experiences with “Truth is Always Truth,” in either your vocal or spiritual life. You can let me know in the “comment” section below.

Hi Everyone. Carole here. I’m writing this note from Florida where we’re supposed to be spending a warm March enjoying 19 Yankee Spring Training games and doing minimal office work. In reality, it’s freezing in Florida. Way too cold for baseball and yet we bundle up and sit there for every game.
The good news, of course, is that God is still God, even in less-than-perfect weather. When I wake up He’s there. When I go to sleep He’s there, and when I have difficult issues to deal with He’s always there.
Here are some Scriptures that have been helping me keep things in balance. I hope they’ll help you, too:
When our praise ascends to God, it silences Satan. It cancels his accusations and stops his mouth. Through praise we invoke the presence and power of our God against all the forces that oppose us. (Psalm 8:2)
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:17) How great to know that we need not be afraid as we listen to what is going on in this world. The gifts we need will always be there becasue He changes not.
David said, ” In the morning o Lord, you hear my voice.” He lays his requests before the Lord & waits with expectation for the answer. Lord I want to be like David speaking to you & then waiting expectantly for Your answer. (Psalm 5)

Hi Everyone! Carole here. I’m the shorter of the two vocal coaches (and the one with hair). I wanted to tell you a little about me and about the Carole Cares part of the Vocal Coach Blog.
I’m a Brooklyn-born girl, raised in a Jewish home on Bay 41st Street. 36 years ago I added to my Jewish heritage by becoming a Christ-follower. And, while it took a while for my family to accept that, they quickly became great supporters of all Chris and I do. I’m also a fanatic New York Yankees fan. So much so that we move our office to Florida for five weeks every Spring to be near Yankees Spring Training.
Now, about Carole Cares. This is where I’ll feature some of your stories and testimonies about how Vocal Coach has impacted your life. Maybe some fun or humorous experiences, also.
So, let me know what’s going on with your and your voice at carolecares@vocalcoach.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
Carole
