While I’m helping you on your singing journey, I’m on a journey of my own. Singing high notes is a part of the path I’m always retreading.

In this episode, I explain

• Why the sound of your own high notes can be jarring, and how to manage that stress.
• The surprising, liberating experience I had making peace with the racket of an MRI machine.
• How I notice when I’m trying so hard that it actually makes singing harder.
• The real, actual, inevitable consequences of singing out of tune.

The next session of The Self-Sustaining Singer is about to launch. I want to make sure you know why you should join us.

In this episode, I explain

• The one-sided voice instruction I experienced as a new singer, and how it stifled my progress.
• The question I always ask my students (and myself) that opens up the possibilities of learning to use your voice.
• How a group singing practice can build confidence and expand the way you understand your whole body instrument.
• The surprising benefits of taking a group singing class on Zoom.

Let's check in with Michèle from June of 2023, and the very first advice I gave on Can't Wait to Hear You. I think it holds up.

In this episode, I explain that:

• Your lungs are not in your shoulders.
• Using your voice is a physical activity.
• The floor isn’t going anywhere.
