How to Practice Singing Efficiently (And Actually See Results)
You’re practicing—but not getting the results you want. But why? Singing practice doesn’t automatically lead to progress. Just like a good gym routine, you need the right balance of structure, strategy, and intention. This episode walks through how to make your vocal practice actually efficient—from goal-setting to warm-up structure to knowing when to walk away. Whether you're preparing for an audition or just want to improve faster, the key might not be more effort… just better focus.
If your current practice routine is “play a warm-up track, sing a song, and hope for the best”—this will change the game.

Are Talent Shows Worth It? POV of Contestant and Parent
Talent shows like the Voice or Idol can be a great opportunity for singers to gain experience and exposure! That’s why I myself auditioned for 2 shows when I was a teenager as well. My dad joined me in this episode to talk about my experiences - the good, the bad and the ugly - and we discussed some talent show stories from Reddit from parents asking for advice for their kid’s talent show.

When the People Closest to You Don’t Support Your Music With Artist Sensata
What happens when your love for music doesn’t come from support—but from resistance? Sensata grew up in an environment where creativity wasn’t encouraged, yet her voice never stopped calling. We talked about what it means to choose your art anyway—when no one claps, when no one gets it, and when the dream feels like yours alone. If you’ve ever been afraid to take up space, this story might help you breathe a little deeper.

Voice Lessons for Kids: At What Age Should They Start & What To Expect
Thinking about putting your child in singing lessons? Before you dive in, there are a few things that can make a huge difference in their experience—and their success.
Kids don’t need intense vocal drills or serious technique at a young age. What they do need is a safe space to play, explore, and fall in love with music. Learn what to expect when enrolling a young singer, how to support their growth (without micromanaging), and why silliness might be the best vocal warm-up of all.
If your child loves to sing, there’s a way to nurture that joy without pressure—and that’s what really helps them grow.
