Skilled, in-demand voice teachers see a high number of voice students in a given week, all vying for their attention.

With an extensive roster of students, there will always be those that make the teacher's job just a little harder - don't be that student!

By being respectful of your teacher's time and policies, and by showing up ready to work, you can become the student every voice teacher loves to work with.

In this episode, John gives you his best advice on how to be a model student, how to have your voice teacher to love to work with you, which in turn will give you the best voice lessons and experience possible.

"Trust, but verify" might come from Ronald Reagan era but it is certainly applicable today.

The internet is a wonderful explosion of knowledge, and singing is no exception.  The disruptive force of online content means anyone with a microphone has access to billions of followers - which is good....and bad.

In this episode, John talks about the problems of simply trusting singing teachers because they are online (John includes himself in this scrutiny) and why it is important to get to the original (or multiple) source of information to make sure you are gaining an accurate understanding of your instrument.

Studying your craft is critical to master your singing. But when does study become a crutch or avoidance mechanism?

Fear of failure.
Fear of judgment.

These can be crippling.

Yet if we don't embrace fear and criticism our singing will likely never reach its full potential.

In this episode, John explores why you need to get out of the practice room and out of your comfort zones.

True artistry must include embracing risk and failure.

Listen to this important episode and find your inspiration and courage to get out there and get singing.
