The “pretty” singing you've been praised for might not be the only kind of singing you're capable of. It might not even be the best singing you're capable of.

In this episode, I explain

• What’s appealing about the breathy sound of pop recordings, and why we want to emulate it.
• Why that sound isn’t sustainable long term (and what it’s doing to your body).
• Why you shouldn’t be intimidated when you make a new sound that your ears find odd, but feels really good in your body.
• How focusing on functionality can unlock the real potential of your unique voice.
