Disclaimer: you do NOT need to practice when your voice isn't feeling 100%! If you're reaaaally sick, rest is best. But if you're looking to hone your skills and you've got some energy...tune into this episode to discover how you can practice (without actually singing!).

It's been a minute since I've shared a meditation episode, and figured that this week was the perfect week to get back into it! This week's meditation is designed to loosen the grip that your singing fears have on you, with a calming practice that will hopefully lower your anxiety around singing. Disclaimer: if you feel uncomfortable at any point while listening to this meditation, please press pause on this episode. My intention isn't to trigger listeners, but to give you another tool for working with your performance anxiety.

I've been saving this episode for a while now, because it's a special one! This week's guest is Andre "Dre" Jackson-Hall, who is head choir director at Akins Early College High School in Austin, TX AND longtime friend of mine. Dre is an inspiration to his students---he literally built his current choral program from the ground up---and I know you'll be inspired by his story. In this episode, he shares his journey from finding his voice through choir, to now helping his own students find THEIR voices. Enjoy!
