"A penetrating and healing journey into the part of all of us that wants to sing--not just vocally, but to sing our soul's song on the magnificent majestic stage of life. If you have ever felt shy about showing up, this film will give you a welcome boost to your next masterful expression." - Alan Cohen, author
"Magnificently drives home how important it is for people to discover the depth of their own voice in the most human terms." - Adam Huber, author
"This film is not just about song, it is about us—our relationship to our God- or nature-given ability to sing. Stillwater introduces the film with a montage of people speaking of the time they were informed that they could not sing, that their singing voice was inferior, and not to be heard. The film moves on to feature many interviewees speaking of the values and virtues of just that, singing, no matter the sad input we have received about our voice. By film’s conclusion, we hear those same voice-squelched people singing beautifully. Like his previous films, Beyond the Fear of Singing features beatific images of nature and a soundtrack of beautiful music. See this film! Sing your song!” -Don Schwartz, CineSource Magazine

“Most children learn very, very quickly that they don’t have that kind of sound. They don’t have that kind of voice to compare with that. Most children just stop at some point. There’s also a sort of a ritual that happens at some time where in the school, or at home, the children are put in front of a crowd of people—their school mates, their family—where they’re asked or forced to sing a song. For many, many children—but also adults—this is like an execution.” (Singer/author Mark Fox, from the film.)
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there." - Rumi
