In this episode, John discusses how to deal with changing information in the field of singing. Information needs to change and evolve, but it’s important to start with simpler and bigger chunks of information in the beginning of one's singing journey.

Episode highlights:

  • Don't fall for the advertising trope that claims everything you know about singing is wrong.
  • Focus on the basics and foundational concepts before diving into more esoteric topics.
  • Be cautious of misinformation and clickbait in the singing industry.
  • Continuously seek knowledge and information that works for you at your current stage.

In this episode, John interviews Karin Titze Cox and Ingo Titze about their book 'Voices Free After SOVT.' They discuss the groundbreaking approach to voice and the importance of semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTs).

  • Getting the motor memory from SOVTs is a very individual system.
  • Do a lot of practice, and do variable practice.
  • Don’t resist resistance.
