   Number 2: Episode 476 - Myths That Help You Sing

   In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John looks at several common singing myths that may not be scientifically accurate but can still be useful. He explores why some ideas stick around because they offer singers a helpful way to experience or approach the voice. Keep learning how the voice works, but don't be too quick to throw out a "myth" that helps you sing. Episode highlights: A singer's sensations are real, even when they do not reflect the underlying mechanism. Simple vocal cues can help guide attention toward a desired coordination. When a vocal "myth" is challenged, ask what was actually disproven and what the instruction was helping you accomplish.

   Number 3: Episode 461 - The Real Job of Vocal Exercises

   In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explains the real purpose of vocal exercises and why they are not meant to test or prove your voice. He shares how exercises support coordination, regulation, and vocal safety rather than chasing range or power. Approach your practice as a place to listen and build trust, not something you have to get right. Episode highlights: Boredom in practice can signal stability and progress. Focused practice matters more than long practice sessions, especially for older singers. Safety and consistency are crucial for vocal growth.
