Episode 477 – The Real Reason You’re Not Practicing

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explores why practicing can become difficult when your voice no longer does what it once did. He explains how turning practice into an experiment can remove the pressure of judging every session and make it easier to stay consistent. Go into your next session with a question and see what your voice can teach you.

Episode highlights:

✅A constructive practice question has no losing answer.
✅A difficult session can still give you useful information.
✅The 20-5-1 rule provides a simple structure for consistent practice.

Episode 476 – Myths That Help You Sing

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John looks at several common singing myths that may not be scientifically accurate but can still be useful. He explores why some ideas stick around because they offer singers a helpful way to experience or approach the voice. Keep learning how the voice works, but don’t be too quick to throw out a “myth” that helps you sing.

Episode highlights:

✅A singer’s sensations are real, even when they do not reflect the underlying mechanism.
✅Simple vocal cues can help guide attention toward a desired coordination.
✅When a vocal “myth” is challenged, ask what was actually disproven and what the instruction was helping you accomplish.

Sourdough bread taught me something about singing.

If you've ever baked sourdough, you have a method. Measurements, hydration levels, timing for the starter, bulk fermentation, proofing, bake times.

But sourdough is alive. It's teeming with wild yeast and bacteria, and living things don't behave the same way twice. The temperature shifts, the starter is sluggish, the dough tells you it needs more time. If you force your method onto the dough instead of adjusting to what it's actually doing, the bread suffers.

Your voice is the same. You have your exercises and your warm-up routine, and you should. But you're working with living tissue, and a mind controlling all of it. Some days the voice shows up differently.

Have your technique. Just keep it flexible enough to work with the voice you have in this moment, not the one you had yesterday.

Every loaf is unique. So is every moment of singing.

What you do with your singing matters. Your voice can bring joy, connect with others, and create an impact you may never get to see. Even when the feedback is quiet, keep showing up, keep growing, and keep sharing what you have to give. Singing is a gift to yourself and to the people who hear you.
