Lately, I’ve been hearing from a lot of singers who are so confused (and honestly, kind of over it) when classical vocal terms pop up with no context in contemporary spaces. So in this episode of Vocal Tips in 10, I’m breaking down some of those terms and translating them into plain, direct language you can actually use in your pop, rock, country, folk, soul, R&B, or musical theatre singing.

If you’re in a classical conservatory, this one might not be for you—but if you’re a contemporary singer who’s ever thought, “Wait, what does that even mean??” when hearing traditional technique talk, this episode will give you the clarity (and confidence) you’ve been looking for.
