More Episodes

Greetings, Vocal Lab enthusiasts! In this episode, we continue our fascinating conversation with Dr. Emily Koriath. We're diving deeper into the physical and emotional mechanics of singing and performance, exploring how to navigate the pressures and joys of being on stage.

We kick off with a critical look at the nervous system's role in performance anxiety and the importance of creating a nurturing space for performers. Emily and I examine the essential skill of practicing—not just what we practice, but how we engage with practice to develop both technical proficiency and emotional connection to our work. We also talk about embodying the song, making each performance a choreographed expression of both mind and body.

Our discussion shifts to the nuanced dynamics of practice versus performance, debunking the myth that success comes from talent alone rather than consistent, focused effort. Emily offers her unique perspective on starting vocal training not always with breath support, especially considering how trauma can affect one’s core strength and accessibility to traditional techniques.

In sharing insights from her book and teaching practices, Emily also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming courses designed for singers, teachers, and practitioners eager to deepen their understanding of the voice’s potential.

Key Takeaways:

* Recognize the nervous system's influence on performance to better manage anxiety.

* Learning to practice effectively is as important as what you practice.

* Prepare your performances to inhabit the song fully and connect with your audience.

* Separate the skills of practicing and performing; each requires its distinct approach.

* Reconsider starting vocal training with breath support, acknowledging the complex interplay of physical and emotional factors.

* Achieving balance in breathing and singing comes from understanding and working with the whole body.

Join us for this enriching exploration into the heart of vocal performance and personal development, where every note and breath brings us closer to our truest selves.
