Singer Songwriter | How to Write a Song, Make Music, Song Lyrics, Music Theory, Singing Lessons

When you overthink your singing, you disconnect from how it feels to make sound.

In this episode of the Vocal Breakthrough Series, we explore what happens when you stop analyzing every note — and start trusting your body as your instrument.

We’ll talk about how overthinking can hold you back before you even open your mouth, why trying harder often tightens your voice, and how simple embodiment practices can help you sing with more confidence, freedom, and flow.

Whether you’re returning to your voice or discovering it for the first time, this is your invitation to get out of your head and into your sound.

Feeling creatively blocked or disconnected from your voice?

Have you been trying to match your voice to what you’re hearing when singing along with other voices?  Do you find yourself trying to sound like a certain artist when singing along with their music?  

Imitation is a helpful tool, and yet there is a need for balance between trying to match good vocal production and finding your own unique sound.  So how do you find your OWN voice?  How do you discover your personal artistry and creative expression along the vocal journey?

In today’s episode, I’ll share with you 3 ways you can explore your voice, experiment with your sound, and play with imitation so you can ultimately discover what makes your voice unique and what makes your individual expression yours alone.  

So if you’re ready to express yourself through your singing voice with your own creative style, then let’s dive in.

Do you ever doubt your abilities as a singer?

If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, fear and self-doubt, you’re not alone.  It is all too common to feel like a fraud when you’re sharing your voice and stepping out as a vocalist in any capacity, whether as a performer on stage, using your voice as a healing instrument, recording in the studio, singing at an open mic for an audience or sharing your music online.  

Perhaps you’re afraid of being “found out,” as if you don’t belong or just aren’t good enough to be making music.

No matter what your musical background is or isn’t ~ wherever you fall on the spectrum of experience ~ if you find yourself doubting your abilities, you may suffer from the dreaded “imposter syndrome.” 

In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing with you the truth about this psychological phenomenon and how we can navigate through it as vocalists so that we can keep singing, keep creating, keep making music.  

Because your voice is meant to be heard.  

Even if you keep hearing the echo of that internal monologue telling you otherwise.  

Here’s how to move past the noise and into harmony with your identity as a vocalist / musician / singer / songwriter.
