The Inner Singer Podcast

Do you listen to your voice so much when you're singing that it throws off your performance? Do you worry about the sound, the notes, the high notes so much that you can't focus on the meaning of the song, the character and the lyric? Do you go into fear when you sing if the stakes are high (or higher than usual)? If so, this Episode of The Inner Singer Podcast is for you! In this Episode I offer...

Is your singing style really authentic style? Or does it mean something else? For many, what they call style is really a manipulation they've developed to help them get the notes! I've done it. (-: To them, it's an identity that is tied up in their vocal technique which gets enmeshed and and becomes dysfunctional. Technique and style need to function separately and freely so that the synergy of th...

I think we all do this - compare our "backstage" with someone elses "onstage" . Meaning, looking at someone who is showing their absolute best, whether in a show or a recording, this person is putting his/her best foot forward and we are only seeing and hearing what he/she wants us to see and hear. We are not seeing all the work that has been done to get "onstage" and we have no idea what this per...

In this Episode I discuss the potential negative impact of setting singing goals from the wrong place. Consider this quote from Einstein: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." That should give you a hint.   My experience was setting goals (actually almost unconsciously) based on wanting to sing like the wrong singers which was based on my old beliefs,...

Do you practice or play at your singing? As you'll discover in this episode there is a distinct difference between the two. Research shows that being in a playful, joyful attitude and brain state is much more conducive to learning and making fast progress. The old "No pain no gain" when it comes to the mental game is very outdated! Is singing or "practicing" on your "I have to do it" list, or on y...

In this Episode I discuss the huge difference between Motivation and Inspiration. They may not seem different, but they are totally different! Motivation comes from the head. Inspiration comes from the heart (and deeper). Do you need to be motivated to sing or practice as much as you'd like to? Usually we need motivation to do things we Don't like to do. Do you know the extreme difference between...

Have you ever felt that you make some progress with your singing/voice and then regress? You move forward with your singing and then you go backwards? In this Episode we put and end to the Myth of, "2 Steps Forward and 1 Step Back!", for good. There is no reason to frame your singing progress this way any more. Listen to this weeks show and hear why. This is really cool. (-: Let your Inner Singer...

In this Episode I offer a reframe of the concept of "Performance". It's a powerful tool that can assist you immediately whether your performances are on Broadway, in a recording studio or concert, or simply alone at home. If for some reason you don't think this is for you, you may want to consider that those thoughts may be coming from your programming and conditioning...and listen any way with an...

In this Episode I describe something that may be limiting your vocal ability and slowing down your process of reaching your wonderful singing potential. It has to do with something that you probably use everyday in your car or your home. Of course, in the car or home it's a mechanical "thing", however, what I'm speaking about is just as real in our singing lives. Understanding and utilizing this w...

In this Episode we discuss how to take advantage of the discovery of "mirror neurons" to accelerate your singing process. Also, there is a great way to take advantage of a really cool thing about the brain! There is a part of the brain that doesn't know the difference between real and imagined. With some "mental rehearsal" we can speed up our singing progress without even actually singin more! Lis...

In this Episode, I'll offer you a 5-Step Framework you can use right away to help shift negative and non-supportive beliefs and behavior to ones that are supportive to you and your singing/performing! It's a simple formula you can use today! I guide you through examples and outline the entire thing for you. Listen and enjoy! And use it. (-:  

This Episode was completely spontaneous and almost didn't happen. If I listened to the "perfectionist" part of me, I would not have even done a podcast today! By not "giving up" on myself, I had a great lesson come through during the recording of this Episode. If you're drawn to this show then I'm sure you'll be able to relate and hopefully take away something of value. I can't believe how much of...

In this episode of the Inner Singer Podcast we focus on how to deal with negative and non-supportive people in our lives, when it comes to our singing. I highlight a few different scenarios so if this is something you have to deal with you will probably identify with one of them. I know I have had that in my life (although it was cloaked as "good advise"). Some of what I suggest may be different t...

What does neuroplasticity have to do with singing?! As you will hear...a lot! This is a fun one that provides a great tool you can use to take advantage of a nice thing about the brain. Have fun with this one!

This particular episode was a milestone for me as I really came from a place of resistance about doing it. Yet I was transparent with that and moved forward anyway. My plans for the day didn't work out as I had figured and when I came out to the studio to do this episode I had very little time compared to the 3 hours I had set aside for work (which is actually more like play). As I walked in the d...

Are you a better singer than you think you are? What kinds of feelings does that question bring up? Are you focusing on the good things about your voice and singing or are you focusing on the percieved flaws? Do you take time to appreciate what is going well and are you developing an optomistic view with your singing? In this episode I offer some ideas, concepts and tools to assist you in beginnin...

Do you have singing dreams or singing delusions? I had delusions that were masquerading as dreams. In this episode I'll let you in on some personal delusions and what a relief it was to have some light shed on them. Even if it by someone who didn't mean to do it. I'll share how once I got congruent with my vocal desires and my real voice, my progress accelerated immediately. I'll share how having...

In this episode I'll tell you about my worst audition ever! First, I'm going to tell you about it and then I'm going to reverse engineer it to show you how I set myself up for it. I'll go into the consequences of that "choice" and what may be done to shift into another place with it so that awareness can create new choices in the future. It's a really good episode so please enjoy!

We have a choice as to whether or not we will love and accept our voice - now. That is not to say that we don’t do all that we can to improve in every way. It simply means what it says: that we have a choice to love or not like our voice as it is now. In other words, no matter where we are with our singing, technique, style, performing etc., we can choose to accept and even love our voice and the...

This episode of the Inner Singer Podcast explains what the Inner Singer actually is. It is not just a negative influence but it is also responsible for all the positive things that are occurring in your singing. All the things you are doing well. You’ll explore how much you identify with your voice. When you’re singing well are you happy? When you’re not singing well are you upset? Is your identit...
