This week on A Voice and Beyond, we're thrilled to have Chris Johnson return to the show for the second instalment of his informative interview. In this episode, Chris, an esteemed vocal coach with international recognition, delves into dispelling more of the most widespread myths surrounding singing and singing voice training. With a background in vocal manual therapy and myofascial release Chris has extensive experience as both a singing teacher and vocal, bringing a holistic perspective to his training approach, acknowledging the interconnectedness of mind, body, and voice.

As we navigate the vast expanse of the internet, we encounter a bombardment of information, much of which is misleading. From YouTube tutorials to social media posts, misinformation regarding singing techniques and voice coaching inundates our screens. In an industry lacking regulation, self-proclaimed experts promise to deliver the key to vocal excellence.

Chris addresses misconceptions surrounding crucial aspects of vocal training, such as support, placement, the necessity of a certain tone qualities across different singing styles. Join us as we unravel these myths and gain valuable insights into nurturing healthy vocal production.
