Episode 2

Singing is also like surfing or basketball or riding a bicycle. In other words, singing is a learned skill. There’s a myth, however, that one is born a singer or born NOT a singer. There are 2 main ways I see this cultural misunderstanding affecting the singers I work with, and it doesn’t just apply to newbies or people who think they can’t sing. This episode, and Episode 3, are foundational to these talks and the way I work, so I strongly recommend you listen to both of them.

Thought Experiment– Think about your own singing this week and how these myths might be playing out for you. Examine your own thinking about singing, your own beliefs about the voice and how it works, and look for evidence of any misunderstanding. How might your relationship with your singing change if you thought of it simply as an athletic skill? How might your practicing change?
