Episode 380 - Training vs Natural Talent


Listen Later

In this episode, John Henny discusses natural talent versus training in singing. He shares examples of famous singers who have worked hard on their voices, debunking the myth of effortless talent. He emphasizes the value of voice teachers and the benefits of formal training, though self-study and listening to other singers can also be valuable. Ultimately, he encourages singers to work hard and find the right teacher or method to develop their voices to their fullest potential.

Episode highlights:

  • The myth of natural talent in singing is often perpetuated by the media and fans, but the reality is that even the most talented singers work hard and receive training.
  • Formal voice training with a qualified teacher can provide valuable guidance and help singers improve their vocal technique and overall performance.
  • Self-study and listening to other singers can also be beneficial, but it's important to have a strong foundation and understanding of vocal technique.
  • There is no one-size-fits-all approach to singing, and each singer should find the right teacher or method that suits their voice and goals.
