The SLS Method
Speech Level Singing(TM) (SLS) is used and endorsed by over 100 Grammy Award winning singers, four Metropolitan Opera Award Winners and many more. SLS is founded on the concept of singing in the same comfortable manner as you speak. The technique allows a singer to sing through their entire range (three octaves or more) and through bridges with the same connected, even, strong, flexible sound at any pitch, at any volume, and in any style without strain or superfluous effort.
