Course Overview

Sure, we’re hitting insane highs thanks to The M2 Academy Method. What now? Should I only sing female songs? Nope: let’s just do what I’ve decided to call Seamless Mechanism Switching! Internally we’ll have two voices, but externally it’ll just be perceived as one. What are the best tips to master this? Well, that’s what this course is all about.

What You'll Learn?

  • Go back and forth between two laryngeal mechanisms without anyone noticing
  • Use compression and SMS for super high, super effortless live singing
  • Some tips for muscle memory on this technique & more!
  • The last module integrates teachings from all courses into just one song!
  • - Ideally, some training with The M2 Academy Method first or a really loud M2.

    Other courses from Marc are focused on the head voice mainly, this one really helps in applying the knowledge from head voice to chest voice to avoid pulling chest and help bridging between both registers! No complicated terms, just videos aiming on fast results. Don’t get fooled by the “low” price of this course and bundles, the value is infinitely higher than courses from famous coaches like Ken Tamplin and the likes… Can’t recommend this course (and the bundle) enough!

    The way you explain ‘balance’ is the only approach that doesn’t leave me totally frustrated. Seriously, why do other coaches never make it clear that the balance we’re aiming for is exactly like this, instead of some bizarre, impossible middle ground that drives you crazy trying to find? It’s honestly ridiculous, and now that I see it, I can’t believe I didn’t realize it sooner.

    But Marc? He gets it. The way he broke down the M1/M2 disconnection in the first course completely changed my understanding of what ‘balance’ actually means, and he demonstrates it perfectly in this course. This whole program has cleared SO much confusion for me. Thank you.

    “Mastering the Illusion” is an exceptional follow-up to the “M2 Academy Method” course. If you’re looking to seamlessly connect your chest voice and head voice without any noticeable breaks, this advanced course is exactly what you need. The content is rich with valuable insights that are difficult to find elsewhere, especially for free on platforms like YouTube. It teaches you how to navigate the tricky transition between registers and master the art of smooth, effortless vocal shifts. Highly recommended for any singer serious about refining their technique and developing full vocal control!
