It costs us nothing to be kind—but the value of that kindness to someone else can be immeasurable.

Just a reminder I’m feeling especially strongly today. 🤍

What happens when you stop singing a song exactly the way you’ve heard it?

Try this: choose a song you know really well, hit record, and change one note per line—in real time. No planning. No overthinking.

The point isn’t to make it “better.” It’s to interrupt the familiar melody just enough to let your own musical instincts take over.

What notes do you choose? Where does your ear naturally want to go? What starts showing up when you give yourself permission to play?

It’s one of my favorite ways to start uncovering the musical choices that sound like you.

🎙️ I share more exercises for finding your authentic sound in this week’s Vocal Tips in 10.

A little peek inside this week’s Voice Gym workout 👀

Major + minor pentatonic scales are patterns contemporary singers should know – and have locked into their ear and voice.

In this agility exercise, we break each one down separately, then connect them into one pattern to build coordination + agility.

These patterns are ALL over contemporary music - riffs, runs, melodies + improvisation.

Tour prep is about SO much more than being able to sing the songs. 🎤

Your voice has to hold up night after night. Your body + mind have to handle the demands of the road. And your performance still has to connect — even on the days when you’re not at 100%.

That’s why great tour prep looks at the whole artist: voice, body, mind + performance.

The goal isn’t just a great first show. It’s feeling strong, healthy + like YOU all the way through the last one.

Touring singers — what would you add to the list? 👇

Could your voice be telling you it needs a little extra care? 👀

One simple way to check in is the Bastian Swelling Test.

When your voice is healthy, find your normal highest easy note using the “Happy Birthday” exercise I demonstrate here. That gives you a baseline — your mucosal ceiling.

Then pay attention to patterns.

If that note suddenly drops by multiple notes — especially if it stays lower over multiple days — it can be a clue that you may be dealing with vocal fold swelling, irritation, overuse, or something else worth paying attention to.

One lower note on one morning? Not necessarily a reason to worry. Our voices change with sleep, hydration, stress, illness, hormones and more.

It’s the pattern that gives us useful information.

🎙️ In the newest episode of Vocal Tips in 10, I share two simple tools for checking in on your voice — PLUS what to do when something seems off and when it’s time to seek professional help.

A brighter sound doesn’t mean a higher note. 👀🎤

Pitch = the actual note you’re singing.
Tone = the quality, color, and character of that sound.

If the song calls for a D, you need to sing the D. 🎯

But HOW you sing that D? You can play with that like crazy.

Brighter. Darker. Lighter. Fuller. Breathier. Cleaner. Edgier. Warmer.

Those tonal choices can completely change the mood and feel of a performance — without changing the pitch at all.

And this is where singers can get tripped up: sometimes a brighter or lighter tone sounds “higher,” even though the pitch hasn’t changed.

So lock in the pitch… then PLAY with the tone. That’s where so much of your artistry lives. 🎶

Save this one and try it the next time you’re working on a song.

Try giving me your best “WOO!” — like you’re cheering for someone — and then bring that same sound onto pitch.

Instead of trying to manufacture a powerful high note, you’re starting with a sound your voice already knows how to make freely and powerfully — then bringing that same coordination into your singing.

Sound first. Then sing. 🎤

And if you want to know exactly what to work on each week, that’s what the Voice Gym is for.

Every Monday, you’ll get a fresh, curated vocal workout with sing-along exercises + a video breakdown from me coaching you through exactly what we’re working on and why.

No guessing what to practice. Just press play and sing.

I first learned about Dolly as a young child, when my mother would tell me the story behind “Coat of Many Colors” and use it to teach me to be kind to everyone — never to judge people by how they look or what they wear.

Fast-forward to my early 20s, and I got to meet and interview Dolly myself while cohosting a show on CMT. When I finally saw her face-to-face, I was so overwhelmed that I burst into tears — not classy, watery-eyed tears, but full-on bawling. It felt like a full-circle moment: growing up in small-town Missouri, hearing her stories, listening to her music, and then somehow ending up at a point in my life where meeting and talking to her was my job.

Of course, just as you’d expect, she was unbelievably gracious, and I composed myself quickly. I have no doubt I was just one of so many who’ve reacted the same way in her presence.

I only met her once, but I’ve always felt so much love for that woman and everything she’s given the world — her music, her role in inspiring a love of reading in so many people, and all her goodness and kindness. It’s amazing that one person could impact so many, all over the world, in such a lasting and purely positive way.

Dolly has always been proof that you don’t have to choose between being wildly successful and being genuinely good. May we all strive to be a little more like her.

I posted vocal fry as a tool last week and some comments came in HOT. 😅 So here’s the real breakdown:

Used intentionally, fry can be:
🎨 A stylistic choice — it can convey emotion and add needed texture
🎚️ A technical reset for people who tend to oversing or overpush — it can bring you back to a lighter, easier placement
🔒 A way to find better vocal fold closure if your voice tends to run breathy or unstable

Here’s the honest caveat: fry isn’t resonant. If it’s the only setting you live in, you can end up pushing to compensate — and that’s when strain can show up. The tool isn’t the problem. How it’s used is.

(Stay for the end — my son had some thoughts of his own on all the vocal fry misinformation out there. 😂)

Moral of the story: there’s no universally “good” or “bad” technique, just tools and how you use them. Listen to your voice, listen to your body, and when in doubt — go see a pro. 🍳
