Find Your Voice
Renowned vocal coach, award winning recording artist and hit songwriter, Judy Rodman, has sustained a celebrated and diverse career for more than 30 years. She has recorded with, written for and written with, a long list of Hall of Famers and top recording acts that include Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, Ray Charles, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Reba, Wynonna, Dave Loggins, Jerry Foster, Marc Beeson, J.D. Martin, Gene Nelson, Keith Hinton among countless others.

She has topped the charts with hits from her own recordings and delivered hits for Loretta Lynne, Maureen McCormick, Randy Koors and Tammy Wynette. "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)", co-written with Keith Hinton, featured on LeAnn Rimes' breakthrough album, Blue, sold over a million copies and earned Rodman a "MillionAire" award from BMI.

But penning hit songs is not Judy Rodman's only claim to fame. Her beautiful, clear voice earned her a successful solo singing career, which flourished throughout the 80s & 90s, culminating with awards from Billboard, Cash Box and the Academy of Country Music.

Bob Dylan was so entranced with her singing that he mentions her in the liner notes of his album, Biography, and has sent her several songs to record. "I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight," went top-10 for her.

While her earlier successes were mainly Country tunes, Rodman now works on multiple-genre projects, currently writing, coaching and/or producing Alternative, Celtic, Christian, Hip-Hop and Singer/Songwriter artists. Her most recent release, however, won't make it to the Billboard charts, but may help other artists find a place there.

Turning the old adage, "Those that can….. do. Those that can't….. teach" on it's ear, she is regarded as a top vocal and performance coach, sought after by both beginner and professional recording artists for her unique and highly effective methods for gaining complete mastery of the voice. Managers, producers, and studio engineers regularly turn to her to coach their clients on how to produce better studio vocals.

She calls her method, Power, Path and Performance and has successfully used it to correct pitch problems, retrain singers with partial vocal cord paralysis, chronic raspiness and a broad spectrum of other vocal challenges and impairments.

The program, now available in a 4 hour, six CD series including a CD-ROM video of Judy demonstrating exercises, focuses on correcting the body voice connection, and in helping a singer "get real" with a song in performance, and how to alleviate excessive anxiety, while igniting the spark of excitement in the performance.

Beginning next month, the Atlas Plugged newsletter will feature an "Ask Judy" column, where Judy will answer your questions covering performance, writing, recording and a myriad of other music biz issues.

Now you don't have to travel to Nashville or to Oz to get the answers you seek. So submit your questions to AskJudy@MusiciansAtlas.com by July 31, 2005.

And, the Atlas Shop will offer the Power, Path and Performance series, a $400 value, for the special price of $99.99 plus S/H
