For most of us, using our voices to speak feels effortless. But performing demands that we slow down and really understand what we’re doing and why.

In this episode, I explain

• Why the deliberate process of singing has to be so different from the instinctive behavior of everyday conversation.
• How to practice noticing and adjusting your vocal production to make performing as stress-free as possible.
• The freedom you unlock when you stop worrying about sounding pretty and focus on developing ease in your voice.
• How my new group class will help you learn to slow down in a community of purposeful voice students.

If you'd like to join the waitlist for my group class, email me at [email protected] with GROUP in the subject line. I'll make sure you receive all the registration information as soon as it's ready.
