Dear Future Rockstar (or Diva, Artist, Performer, whatever you want to call yourself!),
I’ve coached thousands of people including Grammy winners and American Idol finalists. Would you believe they all had the same exact fears as you while they were rising to stardom?
Well, it’s true! And you know what else? They’re actually just like you.
Like you, they can sometimes get overwhelmed, frustrated, lost and discouraged.
…BUT
They have learned how to pick themselves up refocus and continue to push forward. They were also wise enough to see that they could not do it alone.
And that’s exactly WHY I designed this program – so that gifted musicians like you could have access to the right support and guidance to attain the same success as my most accomplished students.
“Working with Cari in the ‘Step Up’ Program was an inspiring and rewarding experience.Cari is very caring, and committed to helping artists in addition to being super talented and experienced. I use her vocal warm-ups daily now. As an early enrollee of Step Up I was lucky enough to win one of Cari’s Fame Finder Sessions where we spent an hour looking my music, website and online presence. Cari really took the time to listen and find the unique thread in my songs, and then guided me to follow that voice. Overall the program motivated me to focus and dive into my craft fully for six weeks and beyond. Thank you Cari for being an amazing teacher and incredible source of support.”

You know you have the talent, drive and dedication of a superstar. You’ll do anything for your music. You have a self-released record up on iTunes or are working on putting one out. But… you’re not sure you know what you’re doing and your confidence is waning a little. You want to know that you are on the right track to making it big.
I’m right there with you!
You supply the talent, and I’ll supply the right guidance and support to help you make your dream your reality. All you have to do is Step Up to the Spotlight.
“Cari has the ability to make everyone feel special and heard.She is so genuine and always finds a way to be honest in a positive way. This Step Up program is truly a passion project for her and it shows. I will continue to refer back to this program throughout my career.”

It’s true – too many artists are out there on their own today, without the real guidance and support they need. In order to navigate this new era of entertainment, a career in music requires a certain skill-set, mindset and music industry savvy. With literally “too much” at their fingertips, artists are left making uninformed decisions about the virtual smorgasbord of new ideas and opportunities. Too often they end up spinning their wheels – not because they don’t have the talent – but because they have not fully developed their talent to where it needs to be before they start on the road to making music a real career.
Step Up to the Spotlight singles out the most important next steps for an artist trying to break through. This program identifies the key signature features you need to stand out above the rest. Today you have to know who you are before you get out there and have industry savvy to boot. It’s not enough to be talented and have a dream – you need guidance and coaching from someone who has a thorough understanding of the music industry. Just ask some of my former clients.
“When I decided that I wanted to pursue my dreams a couple of months ago, I knew things were not going to be easy.I had to go through 4 years of engineering school and another 4 years of “the perfect job” to realize that I needed to listen to my inner voice and do what makes me happy. I came across the Step up to the Spotlight program when I was looking for a mentor and the right information. I found that and much more! Cari Cole gives us with her program the recipe to success. Find yourself, be yourself and work hard. It seems simple, but Cari shares the secrets to overcome fear and a detailed plan to get better everyday. I am now releasing my first EP and I truly believe that I am on the right path to success! Thank you Cari for sharing your wisdom with us!”

“When I discovered Cari’s work, I had already released three albums with my band Darling Violetta and co-composed a TV theme song.Yet I found myself in a place of inquiry about who I was as a solo artist and songwriter. My intention for her “Step Up” program was to find myself as an artist again. Cari is a gifted guide and mentor, and her program has provided me with inspiration, insight and motivation as I uncovered and rediscovered what I desire to express, experience, create and contribute as an artist today. Her coaching challenged and supported me to be fully and authentically who I am as I engage in my creative process and complete my first solo album. Cari helped me to rekindle the inner passion and love I have for music and to reconnect with the joy it brings me to create and perform!”

No worries if you can’t work one when it is immediately delivered, all modules are available in our private member area 24/7. You’ll receive all the materials you need and can work on each module at your convenience.
The first thing you’ve got to do is to step up your craft. And to do that, you’ve go to know WHAT to practice, HOW to practice, WHEN to practice and WHY. You’ve got to know exactly what to do when. The number one commonality that all stars share is that they PRACTICE their craft every day – every single day come rain or shine. The truth is that this ACTION builds confidence and not the other way around.
I’ll walk you step-by-step through exactly what you need to do to become the great artist you were meant to be, starting with my Singers Gift Warmups and my Killer Daily Regimen that covers all aspects of your craft.
“Cari provides a wealth of information that is easy to understand and easily applied.By following Cari’s advice, my voice has become much stronger, much more powerful. My image and vocal style have developed into those more uniquely mine. I perform with three bands, each with a different style. Singing night after night wears on my voice. I have overcome throat troubles (strain, singing with a cold, etc) by following the steps and using products she recommends. I use Cari’s techniques for vocal warm ups each day. Most importantly, I have gained confidence as a performer and as a professional. Cari has also helped me realize what a gift it is to be a singer. She reminds us often that a guitar string can be replaced, but a voice cannot. I take her words to heart and know by working with her, I will be able to use my gift for years to come. Thanks, Cari, for helping me Step into the Spotlight…exactly where I want to be!”

If you’re like any artist I work with you struggle with your confidence. You wrestle with it every day. Just like Adele the other night on 60 minutes who said she struggles with performance nerves – most great artists do – whether you are at the beginning or at the top – it’s because you care. It’s a part of being great at what you do.
“Cari Cole’s ‘Step-Up’ program has literally transformed me.Before I began this program, I had never had the vocal and business knowledge I needed to be the best singer-songwriter I could be. Now, with implementing Cari’s daily vocal warm-ups and visualization into my everyday calendar, including a whole new outlook on branding and planning and stepping up my game plan, my singing/songwriting path is leading me to brand new worlds. I am humbled at what I didn’t know, challenged to grow my vocals and business, and excited to know that “It’s You Who Discovers You”! Thank you Cari Cole for rocking and changing my world. I will definitely be back for more…”

Every artist has exactly what they need to become a star – it just learning to leverage what you have. Stars learn to feature their strengths and downplay their weaknesses – that’s what makes them stars. And they have a whole team of people helping them do that. But over the years I have watched it happened and learned all the insider tricks and trade secrets for how they do that and I’m going to teach that to you.
“Working with Cari is the single most influential choice I have made on my path to becoming a professional recording artist.Since I was very young I have had dreams of becoming a ‘pop star’- envisioning myself on a big stage, with bright lights, singing my guts out. But illustrious fantasies are nothing without the right guidance. Luckily for me, I found Cari Cole. I know if it weren’t for Cari, I would still just be dreaming of what could be. Cari saw and believed in my potential, I think, even more than I did. She has helped me put together my band, and been there to guide me while I find my sound and style as an artist. She has awesome connections, and has arranged several shows so far. With her counsel I have even started showcasing for labels and begun to form relationships with music managers and I am now well on my way to establishing myself as an artist. When I started working with Cari I expected to improve vocally- but I got so much more than I bargained for. She is a friend, and a mentor, and her steadfast commitment has changed my course as an artist.”
Rainsford, singer, songwriter, recording artist, performer

The single most common mistake I see across the board is waiting to be discovered. Unfortunately waiting for the “big break” makes artists WAIT! The trick is to realize that success comes from their own efforts, it is not “outside of themselves” or “reliant upon others”. The music industry has changed and you have to change with it. The BIG secret is that you have more power than you think when you know how to build your career and your platform the right way. Having a plan is the key to success in this new paradigm of “direct-connect” from artist direct to fan.
“Working with Cari has been, and continues to be an incredible experience for me.She has an amazing gift for understanding the many facets of vocal training from the technical to the mental, emotional and physical aspects. She tackles the art of singing down to the root and really helps you understand what you are doing and how it all works. With her holistic and all encompassing approach she teaches how to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the vocals!”

Please do not make the same mistake that almost every artist makes (and it doesn’t matter if you’re new at this or you’ve been out there awhile.) DO NOT try to have a career in music WITHOUT A PLAN! In fact, if you have music out in the marketplace, don’t go ONE STEP FURTHER without doing this module! This will save you countless hours and effort spent in the wrong direction! There is a path and this module teaches it to you!
Cari’s 52 week Artist Development Plan walks artists step-by-step through the process of putting your music together (being sure you have the right material is KEY); finding the right producer that takes you to a pro level; and the right A & R guidance to create a massive shift in your presence and the state of your career.
“I thank my lucky stars that I have found Step Up to the Spotlight.I participated in a prestigious province-wide contest called Ma Première Place des arts in Montreal. About 25 industry people were there to vote, and I won! Just another victory from one of your Step Up students, and this one is for you too! Thanks for creating the program and making it available – I am ecstatic!”

Do you secretly wonder if you are on your right path as an artist? Do you secretly wish you had someone who could see you better than you can see yourself and help you become better than you think you could be? A mentor who has your best interests and artistry at heart?
Becoming an artist that merits praise from your peers and fans is what it’s all about. Learning the insides of what makes a great artist from the ground up, and how to reinvent yourself after a hiatus, or after failed attempts. This step alone can save countless years and efforts spent swimming upstream.
“The Step Up to the Spotlight program came at a real turning point in my music career.I already had a voice coach with whom I am working who would often remind me of the need for a marketing strategy but like many artists, I wasn’t really interested in this aspect. I only wanted to focus on my music and the whole idea of ‘selling’ myself was not only overwhelming, but just downright frightening. Honestly, I’m not one for seminars so when my sister introduced me to the program, I thought it was another one of ‘those overpriced seminars’ that leave you with little to no new information. However the information that Cari shared in just the free conference call was so amazing, I considered it to be the first indication that this program was different. I feel that any life change begins first with the mind, which is why I am so glad I was a part of the program. I learned so much invaluable information that was key to my growth as an artist. It affirmed me in the things I was doing right, and showed me how to improve the others. The attitude, tips, and habits are now a part of my everyday life as an artist. This new information was not only a springboard for my artistic growth but also for marketing myself, something that I now enjoy but loathed in the beginning. You can have great talent as an artist, but with no plan your dream will only be a dream. Cari Cole’s Step Up program will help you make a plan to reach your goals and make your dream a reality.”

Basically, you’ll learn the stuff the stars do routinely! And it’s all organized for you so you don’t have to think – you just have to follow the steps 1-2-3.
It’s time you stopped struggling to become the star you know you are, and got started on the right path to the big time. Get insider knowledge to the system that will get you there.
Opportunity is knocking…answer the door and Step Up to the Spotlight!
So…
You’ve read this far because there’s little voice telling you that you really want to do this. You watch singers on TV and you think – hmmm … I could do that – with just a little push… And then comes the other voice that chimes in saying, “Who are you kidding?”
Do you wonder if it will ever happen for you?
Well, the amazing thing is — it CAN HAPPEN…
…And just like it has for my past students of the Step Up Program, it can happen to YOU.
BUT… there are some essential things you have to know and do. If you don’t have this knowledge, you could become another artist who burns out or misses key opportunities simply because you didn’t know how to pull it all together.
Why waste any more time waiting to be discovered when you can take your music career into your own hands right now?
You know you can do this. All you need are the tools … and the spotlight – so Step Up!
Great question!
Here’s my answer:
I’ve designed Step Up to the Spotlight so that I can take you by the hand and lead you through the 3 month Program step-by-step. That’s because your results mean that much to me!
A quick warning, before you continue reading: I take my students much deeper than most any other program out there. I not only give LOTS of support, attention and accountability, but you’ll also be getting one-on-one support from me too! (You’ve told me you want accountability, so here it is!)
