The Inner Singer Podcast

In this Episode I discuss the huge difference between Motivation and Inspiration.

They may not seem different, but they are totally different!

Motivation comes from the head. Inspiration comes from the heart (and deeper).

Do you need to be motivated to sing or practice as much as you'd like to?

Usually we need motivation to do things we Don't like to do.

Do you know the extreme difference between the two?

You'll take away some key inspirations that will get you back to the love and joy of singing - no matter your level. (-:

Enjoy!

Have you ever felt that you make some progress with your singing/voice and then regress?

You move forward with your singing and then you go backwards?

In this Episode we put and end to the Myth of, "2 Steps Forward and 1 Step Back!", for good.

There is no reason to frame your singing progress this way any more.

Listen to this weeks show and hear why.

This is really cool. (-:

Let your Inner Singer soar!

In this Episode I offer a reframe of the concept of "Performance".

It's a powerful tool that can assist you immediately whether your performances are on Broadway, in a recording studio or concert, or simply alone at home.

If for some reason you don't think this is for you, you may want to consider that those thoughts may be coming from your programming and conditioning...and listen any way with an open mind.

Just sayin'...

Enjoy!!

In this Episode I describe something that may be limiting your vocal ability and slowing down your process of reaching your wonderful singing potential.

It has to do with something that you probably use everyday in your car or your home.

Of course, in the car or home it's a mechanical "thing", however, what I'm speaking about is just as real in our singing lives.

Understanding and utilizing this will raise the bar on your singing and help you reach you wonderful potential - and ENJOY the process!

Have fun with this. (-:

In this Episode we discuss how to take advantage of the discovery of "mirror neurons" to accelerate your singing process.

Also, there is a great way to take advantage of a really cool thing about the brain!

There is a part of the brain that doesn't know the difference between real and imagined.

With some "mental rehearsal" we can speed up our singing progress without even actually singin more!

Listen and find out how!

Enjoy. (-:

In this Episode, I'll offer you a 5-Step Framework you can use right away to help shift negative and non-supportive beliefs and behavior to ones that are supportive to you and your singing/performing!

It's a simple formula you can use today!

I guide you through examples and outline the entire thing for you.

Listen and enjoy! And use it. (-:

This Episode was completely spontaneous and almost didn't happen.

If I listened to the "perfectionist" part of me, I would not have even done a podcast today!

By not "giving up" on myself, I had a great lesson come through during the recording of this Episode.

If you're drawn to this show then I'm sure you'll be able to relate and hopefully take away something of value.

I can't believe how much of myself I'm sharing in these podcasts...This is not at all like me!!

Enjoy, as I reveal more of the "me" that I usually hide! (-:

In this episode of the Inner Singer Podcast we focus on how to deal with negative and non-supportive people in our lives, when it comes to our singing.

I highlight a few different scenarios so if this is something you have to deal with you will probably identify with one of them.

I know I have had that in my life (although it was cloaked as "good advise").

Some of what I suggest may be different than what you might expect.

Have an open mind and listen up.

I hope this resonates with you.

Thanks for listening!!

What does neuroplasticity have to do with singing?!

As you will hear...a lot!

This is a fun one that provides a great tool you can use to take advantage of a nice thing about the brain.

Have fun with this one!

This particular episode was a milestone for me as I really came from a place of resistance about doing it. Yet I was transparent with that and moved forward anyway.

My plans for the day didn't work out as I had figured and when I came out to the studio to do this episode I had very little time compared to the 3 hours I had set aside for work (which is actually more like play).

As I walked in the door my inner voice was saying things like, "don't bother, there's not enough time now", "this didn't work out so you should just go exercise or do something else",...

Actually, it was a bit more dramatic about it than that but I'll spare you. (-:

Anyway, it got done and what came through was really cool and helped me a lot as I was doing it.

This is worth a listen or 2 as I could not have planned this as well if I hadn't actually been feeling the resistance.

Enjoy!
