The Vocal Cool Down Every Singer Needs And Why It Works
Most singers know that they are supposed to warm up before a gig, recording session or even practice. But many skip what comes after they’re done singing… Vocal cool downs are one of the most overlooked habits in singing. They aren’t about expanding range or adding power—they’re about restoring balance, releasing tension, and helping your voice recover faster so it’s ready for tomorrow. This 5-minute guided cool down walks you through simple exercises like SOVT slides, gentle sighs, and head voice resets. It’s designed to help you land softly after singing instead of crashing into vocal fatigue. If your voice feels stiff, foggy, or slow to warm up the next day, this might be the tool you didn’t know you needed.
Unlocking Vibrato: Why Forcing It Won’t Work
Vibrato gets overhyped, overcoached, and misunderstood. But here’s the thing… You don’t need to *create* vibrato—you need to *release* it. This episode breaks down what vibrato actually is (and what it isn’t), why trying to “make it happen” never works, and how a little silliness might be your fastest shortcut to unlocking it. You’ll hear our favorite metaphors, the difference between natural and manufactured vibrato, and what to do if yours sounds wobbly, wide, or is nonexistent. If you’ve ever asked, “Why don’t I have vibrato yet?” this one’s for you.
My Vocal Injury Story
Vocal injuries are much more common than people think. In an attempt to remove the stigma around vocal injuries, I wanted to share my story - how I got vocal nodules and what I did to get rid of them again.
What Singing With Support Actually Means
Contemporary singing shouldn’t constantly feel like a full-body workout—and if it does, you’re probably overdoing it. In this episode, we’re breaking down the real difference between support, control, and squeezing. You’ll learn why your diaphragm isn’t involved, and how smart engagement (not force) unlocks real vocal freedom. There’s also an air hockey table analogy you’ll never forget—because great singing is more about glide than grunt. If you’ve been working hard but still feel stuck, this is where things start to make sense.
