Rock Your Voice Podcast

In this episode, I catch up with Hayden McHugh, a singer songwriter and performer from Calgary, Alberta. 

We talk about learning to produce your own music and creating your signature sound, as well as collaborating with creative partners and the time and effort it takes to develop your musical skills and build your brand as an artist. 

In this episode, I chat with the lovely Lindsay Ell all about how she got her start in music, her move to Nashville and how it takes hard work and dedication to reach your goals as well as having faith in yourself. 

Lindsay also shares her favourite vocal warm ups and talks about the importance of vocal health. 

Lindsay's new single, I Don't Love You is available now, (it's amazing btw!) and you can find her @lindsayell on all social platforms. 

Follow along with this gentle warm up to get your voice ready for the day. Whether you plan to do a longer technical vocal work out after, or enjoy some singing, perhaps you want help warming up to prepare for a speaking engagement, or a day of using a loud voice in a class full of kids.

This episode will warm up your voice and help avoid fatigue and damage throughout your following vocal work out or singing session or full day of speaking.

One of the most common questions I am asked, is why does my voice break and can I make that go away. 

The answer is you are not alone, it happens to everyone, and YES you can smooth out your break. 

Firstly you have to understand how your instrument works. You don't need a biology degree or a masters in vocal mechanics, just feel what's happening. Don't force or push, just go with it. Once you know where the notes want to be placed when sung gently, you can build power and bridge the gap. 

Listen as I explain, (and make some weird noises) to show you how and why everyone experiences this and why its so important to be patient and gentle with your voice to get faster, healthier results that will have you throwing weight at the big notes. 

The psychological blocks we throw in front of our voice and how singing can be so scary for some people fascinates me. In this episode we look at why you might fear singing in public, or even in a lesson. You'll learn how to over come fears that may have stopped you taking lessons, joining a choir or simply singing for fun. 

In this episode, you'll immediately begin to confidently enjoy singing again and be able to start trusting what your voice can do when your brain isn't getting in the way! 

In this episode, I talk about why warming up is important and how it will help you get the best of your vocal session no matter what level you are at.

We will also look at various breathing techniques and ways to help you improve your lung capacity as well as balance a strong and consistent sound when singing. 

Welcome to the Rock Your Voice Podcast. I wanted to launch with a bit of back story about who I am and how I grew up surrounded by music, and how it became my passion in life. The journey I took to become a singer and vocal coach and the incredibly inspiring people who have helped me along the way. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen, and I'm so excited to start sharing vocal techniques that will immediately change your voice for the better as well as inspiration for your vocal goals and interviews that will also help you along your way no matter what level you are at or how long you have been singing for.
