Episode 6 - Is There a Correct Way to Sing?!

Is there a correct way to sing? As promised a few weeks ago I mentioned that I’d put together a podcast about vocal training, how and why to choose a vocal coach and tackling some misconceptions about singing lessons!

Episode 5 - Sing Higher

In this episode we’re talking about the upper expansion of your range. I get asked how to do this more than any other aspect of vocal development.

Episode 2 - Breathing is Everything?!

So... Breathing. What better place to start than with the most fundamental thing we know as human beings. It's the first thing we do when we enter this world. We take a big deep breath in which is usually followed closely by the piercing found of our voice and the crying that makes sure people know you've arrived. What an entrance!
