The Intelligent Vocalist

Episode 453 - Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Body


Listen Later

In this episode, John talks about the shift every singer must make from overthinking the voice to letting the body lead. He explains how true vocal freedom comes from embodied coordination, built through awareness, repetition, and connection rather than constant analysis. When you stop micromanaging and start feeling, your singing flows naturally and expressively.

Episode highlights:

  • Singing is learned through experience and sensation, not just understanding.
  • Slow, mindful repetition builds automatic, reliable vocal coordination.
  • Singing with other musicians helps you stay present, grounded, and connected to the body.
