• 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. 👉 Want to make practicing easier?

• The Art of Dynamic Singing With Versatility Expert Coach Bri

  Tone is one of the most underrated skills in singing. Everyone talks about hitting the right notes—but what about the way you sing them? Coach Bri and I dove into the middle part of vocal development: tone, dynamics, stylization, and shaping your sound. We talk about what makes a voice sound compelling (not just correct), and how to bring out more color in your singing—without overthinking it. Bri also coaches me through the song “Fallin’” by Alicia Keys and explore how to use vocal flips, placement shifts, and subtle changes in tone to add emotion without losing control. Whether you’re figuring out your genre, refining your sound, or just trying to make your voice feel more like you—this is the work that gets you there. 📍Follow coach Bri here: https://www.instagram.com/bri_itsme/ 📍Listen to Bri’s original music here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Vmisx2YyT5Due9ViRJpyY?si=SsHQCYANTJeLY5GouP0jtQ 👉 Want to make practicing easier?

• Collaboration In Music: Bringing Out Each Other’s Strengths with Spencer Lynn

  Spencer Lynn is a singer, actor, and writer who has spent his life in creative spaces—from childhood musicals to writing three full-length shows during his graduate studies at NYU. In this conversation with longtime friend Coach Emily and myself, Spencer shares how collaboration, self-awareness, and embracing your own artistic strengths can reshape your creative path. He talks about how growing up in a musical family gave him a deep appreciation for performance, and how shifting from stage to songwriting helped him discover a new kind of fulfillment. You’ll also hear about what it really means to “support others to shine,” how he approaches writing music for singers (actually making music that’s singable!), and the role that riffs, storytelling, and creative community play in developing as an artist. Whether you're a performer, writer, or just trying to figure out your voice, Spencer’s story is a reminder that you don’t need to do it all alone—and your art doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. 📍Mentioned Resource: Check out Spencer’s website here: https://spencerlynn.net/ and follow him on IG @spencerjlynn 👉 Want to make practicing easier?

• Distortion 101: The Healthy Way To Add Grit

  Vocal distortion might sound intense—but done correctly, it’s not about screaming or wrecking your voice. It's about adding texture, edge, and emotion safely. I sat down with Coach Emily to break down what distortion actually is (and what it isn’t). This isn't a guide for death metal vocals—but it’s perfect if you're a pop, rock, musical theatre, or singer-songwriter looking to explore controlled vocal grit. From safe onset strategies to distortion-adjacent vocal colors, you'll learn how to explore distortion without risking your vocal health. Whether you're trying to add emotional grit or just a bit of growl, this intro will help you approach distortion with curiosity—and control. 📍Mentioned Resource: Check out the Full You And I Pop Song Exercise here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZF3_asv-W9U 👉 Want to make practicing easier?

• Studio Sessions: One Small Change Can Throw Everything Off with Jess Jones

  Singer-songwriter Jess Jones brings in his original track “Selena”—and we work through some of the biggest shifts he’s made since first recording it in 2019. From cleaning up pitch to unlocking a fuller tone (without extra force), this session is all about finding strength in ease. We try a few go-to exercises, skip the ones that don’t click (puffer fish, anyone?), and focus on what works: smoother phrasing, jaw release, and projection that doesn’t feel like yelling. If you’re a songwriter trying to grow your voice without losing your unique sound, this one’s for you. 📍Mentioned Resource: Check our Jess’ Website here: https://jessjonesmusic.com/ 👉 Want to make practicing easier?
