The Inner Singer Podcast
The Inner Singer Podcast is dedicated to assisting you in developing your inner singer which is your conscious and unconscious beliefs and programming, patterns, stories, habits, mindset and self-talk. In these podcasts you will discover tools and techniques that you can use immediately to strengthen and support your inner singer which will ultimately have a powerful positive affect on your outer singer - your voice. Your inner singer - conscious and unconscious beliefs and programming, patterns, stories, habits, mindset and self-talk are what will determine your feelings about your voice and your perception of your voice. It is this that ultimately drives and runs our voice and our confidence in our singing, and is responsible for our vocal success. If our inner singer is not congruent with our outer singer, as well as what we want (our singing goals), there is little chance of realizing our singing potential. The Inner Singer Podcast is for singers who want to gain confidence, discover the joy of their own voice, and improve all aspects of their singing and performing. This includes shifting from a negative mindset to an optimistic and positive supportive mindset.

Get your FREE copy of my Fearless Singing book and BONUSES here and discover how to guarantee great high notes, a strong belt and mix, confidence, stage presence and the love of singing... You can read it in an hour and I'll even give you some great bonuses! AND, If you want to be in an amazing community of wonderful singers and voice teachers who all share the common goal of wanting to sing at their peak and help others do the same, then now! In today's episode I talk about the Power of a strong and supportive community. This is something I had growing up as a singer that was invaluable to my learning how to sing at my potential. The support, joy and knowledge I got from the many amazing communities I was in is the reason I can do what I do. There are lots of singers who are just one step away from finding their voice in this world and often times being in a great community is the missing link. A community not only provides a place to share music but it's a place to make friends who are on the same path and who 'get you'. It's a place where you can be accountable to actually do what you say you're going to do and what you know you should do. There's no stopping a great singer with a supportive community behind him/her! Enjoy and Mike

Consistency and determination. Talent doe NOT always win. Consistency does. Enjoy and please take this seriously. Mike

Here's the link to the free video I mentioned: In this episode I show you exactly how I learn a difficult song while sitting in my car waiting for my son. I'm armed with only the song on my phone and a pitch pipe app on my phone. There is a system for learning a song professionally, and when you do this right you'll surprise yourself by being able to sing much more difficult songs than you thought you could sing. Most singers do NOT do any of the things I'm about to show you. In my humble opinion this is one of the most important podcasts I've made to date. Listen, enjoy and use this formula when you learn your next song. You can use it to learn a cover song or your own song. Enjoy, Mike

His name is Gregg Goodhart and he's known all over the world as The Learning Coach I've seen Gregg's work and it's mind blowing! I believe his work is the 'missing link' in what's taught today to singers/musicians, athletes and academics. From Gregg's website: "We’ve had the good sense over the years to separate out areas of study like theory, ear training and history into their own areas of development. Yet we leave most of the study of how to work while practicing/learning, the single most important factor in developing skill at any level, to the student to figure on their own! The few that figure it out and do it regularly seem exceptionally talented." _______________________________________________________________ In my 31 year teaching career this is the most profound work I've ever seen on mastering the art of practicing. What Gregg shows you will expedite and accelerate your progress as a singer! I recommend you get his info immediately. Get his Cracking the Talent Code (it's FREE) and it's great...I got it! Gregg's website is: If you'd like my help with your singing you can call or text me. 818-216-3944 (Yes, this is my actual cell number). I'm here to help. And, I'm always on the look out for new and committed singers to work with! Enjoy... And do this stuff. I promise you this will work if you 'play' with it. Yes, Play with it.😊

Voice training is essential and very few singers do it as efficiently and effectively as they could. My 30 years of experience in training singers to be great tells me you may not be training effectively either. I certainly wasn't! I just know that singers are almost never taught how to train their voices. That ends today! In this episode I give you my 3 step framework for training your voice like an Olympian! Oh yes, we're all told to 'practice' but who actually wants to practice and who really knows how to anyway once you're away from your teacher (if you have one). That's why this episode will change your singing almost immediately if you apply what you'll discover here. I love doing this and I look forward to hearing how this framework helps you reach your singing goals!

Episode 68 - Meet Your Voice Where t Is
In this episode of the Inner Singer Podcast I discuss 2 very important concepts: 1. Meeting your voice where it is on any given day. This is VERY important as when we meet our voice where it is we can then take it where we want to go. When we try and "be where we were yesterday - when my voice was working!!", we put unnecessary pressure on our voice and ourself. 2. When you're either singing and vocalizing alone or having a singing lesson, what constitutes a "good lesson" or vocalization session"? If you're anything like I was you'll say - "Well singing well, of course!" It's that kind of thinking that can really hinder and sabotage your progress! So you may want to consider reframing that. Find out why and how! Enjoy!! And please subscribe and leave a rating and review if you found this podcast helpful. (-: Thanks!!

When treated as 3 separate disciplines you are missing a tremendous opportunity. With the synergy of the 3 - there is magic!

As I bring consciousness to the process I become more aware of the nuances and how much these 3 seemingly separate things integrate to create something beyond what most ever achieve.
