Vocal health professionals and singing teachers, Christina Kent and Megan Durham, join Melissa for a heartfelt cafecito, encouraging us to examine how we've become trapped as "performing perfectionists." Their new class helps voice professionals break free from mentally unstable practices, allowing us to sing with freedom and redefine what it means to sing for ourselves.
