As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to set intentions and embrace new challenges. If you’ve ever dreamed of singing with confidence or improving your vocal skills, why not make 2025 the year you take action? 

The lights are on, the audience is waiting, and your heart feels like it’s racing out of your chest. For many singers, stage fright and performance anxiety are all-too-familiar hurdles. But with the right mindset and techniques, you can transform those nerves into energy that enhances your performance. Let’s explore how to build singing confidence, calm your nerves, and deliver a memorable show.

Singing is far more than hitting the right notes or mastering complex techniques. It’s an art form that connects us to others through emotional singing and authentic vocal expression. Whether you’re on stage or singing in a small gathering, your ability to convey emotions through your voice can transform your performance from good to unforgettable. Let’s explore how emotions shape your singing and discover techniques for singing with feeling.

As singers, our voices are our instruments. Just as a guitarist tunes their strings or an athlete stretches before a workout, singers need to prepare their vocal cords to ensure optimal performance and maintain long-term vocal health. Incorporating a consistent vocal warm-up routine into your day is essential for enhancing your singing abilities and protecting your voice.

Breathing is something we do effortlessly, thousands of times every day. On average, we take between 17,000 and 24,000 breaths without giving it a second thought. It’s the automatic miracle that keeps us alive.

But here’s the thing—you might be breathing wrong.

One of the questions we get most often from parents is:

“Does my child really need vocal training?”

Short answer? Yes!

Long answer? If your child is a singer who has never had vocal training before, they certainly need it. And if they have had vocal training before…they still probably need it.

It’s a traveling vocalist’s worst nightmare…

You’ve traveled to another town for a performance. You wake up the morning of your show. Your throat is sore…and your voice is gone.

You start doing damage control in your head; can I push through the pain? Can I change my set list? Is there time to reschedule the show? Or should I…cancel!?

If this scenario has ever haunted your dreams (or visited you in reality), I’ve got a few tips and tricks to keep your voice healthy and happy while traveling to (hopefully) avoid this unpleasant situation altogether.

Oh allergies. One of a singer’s worst enemies! Trying to sing with an itchy sore throat, runny nose, and a head full of mucus is no easy task, especially in Atlanta where I am right now. During the springtime everything (from cars to mailboxes and front porches) is covered in a thick, disgusting layer of yellow pollen. It’s truly gross, and it’s enough to make us allergy-sufferers positively miserable!
