I’m listening to music and providing feedback to artists on a daily basis and the number one comment I make is ‘you need to work on your singing’. So, in this episode we’re talking about vocals: why they’re so important, where you’re going wrong, and how to make them better. My guest today is the incredible Cherie Mathieson. Cherie is a singer, songwriter, producer, vocal coach and artist development mentor via her awesome site bignotesgetvotes.com  LISTEN HERE:  WATCH HERE:     GET IT ON:  iTUNES STITCHER  CHECK OUT: Big Notes Get Votes - website  BAND OF THE WEEK: Our Oceans - website | facebook
