You don't have to perform.
You don't have to impress anyone.
You don't have to be "good".

Your voice belongs to you.
And you are allowed to share it, simply because you exist.

💬 What's your favourite song to sing (or belt out😉) when nobody's watching? Tell me in the comments👇

Have you ever said, “I could never sing”?

You’re not alone. Unfortunately, most people I talk to say this — but it’s almost never true.

Here’s the thing:
Most of us were never taught how to use our voice.
We were told to “be quiet” or laughed at when we tried.
We were shamed for singing out loud.
And we internalized that shame, fear, and judgment.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t sing.
It means your voice has been living in survival mode, trying to protect you.

And don’t forget — singing is a skill.
You can train it and improve, just like any other skill.

You wouldn’t say, “Oh, I could never run a mile,” would you?
You’d know that if you started training, little by little, you’d eventually get there.

It’s the same with your voice.

✨ Singing is a skill.
✨ Singing is self-expression.
✨ And it’s available to you — no matter where you’re starting.

💬 Have you ever said, “I could never sing”? Tell me about it. What exactly makes you feel this way?

What actually happens in a vocal lesson with me?

If you’re curious but nervous to start — I get it. So many people feel that way at first.

That’s why I created this post to walk you through exactly what to expect, step by step.

As a vocal coach in training, I sometimes take part in observing lessons that other coaches conduct—listening, learning, absorbing all the info. And honestly, it’s super fun! But sometimes… it’s a lot. And then, out of nowhere, my brain decides to keep playing scales on repeat like a broken record 🎹😂

Guess I’ve unlocked the ‘eternal piano earworm’ level of training! Does anyone else experience this sometimes?😅

#VocalCoachLife #ScalesOnRepeat #CantEscapeTheScales

🎤 Feeling awkward while doing vocal exercises? 😳😂

If you’ve ever caught yourself mid-lip trill, siren, or exaggerated vowel sound and thought, “I sound ridiculous”—you’re not alone!

💡 Why does it feel so weird?
• We’re not used to making these sounds in daily life.
• Singing feels personal & vulnerable.
• Many people fear being heard while practicing!

But guess what? Even professional singers sound silly when they train! The key is to embrace the weirdness—because that’s where growth happens. 🌱

✨ Swipe through to learn why these exercises are so important and how to get over the awkwardness!

Did you know that singing can actually BOOST your focus and help you get into deep flow? 🤯

I first got curious about this when a friend of mine, a concept artist, told me she feels way more focused and creative when she sings along to music while working. She asked me if that’s a thing—so, of course, I had to find out!

Turns out, science says YES! ✅ Singing stimulates your brain, releases dopamine (hello, motivation!), and regulates your breath, all of which can enhance focus and productivity.

Want to try it? Here’s your challenge:
🎤 Hum or sing for 30 seconds, then start your next task.

What You See vs. What I Felt (Throwback to My Stage Anxiety Days)

7 years ago, I sang in the first video. From the outside, it might look like I was doing fine, maybe even enjoying it.

But here’s the truth: I wasn’t.

💥 My heart was racing
💥 My knees were shaking
💥 My hands were so sweaty
💥 My face was burning hot
💥 I felt like I was being tortured instead of doing something I love

No matter how much I tried to calm down, my brain saw the stage as a threat and went into survival mode. Instead of having fun, I was just trying to get through it.

Fast forward to today, and I finally actually enjoy performing. What changed? I learned how to retrain my brain to stop treating singing as dangerous. Now, even when I feel nervous, it doesn’t overwhelm me—it actually helps me stay sharp.

Stage fright isn’t a permanent problem. You can change your brain’s response and finally enjoy singing the way you’re meant to.

Would you be interested in a free Stage Fright Guide where I share the exact tools that helped me overcome this? Let me know in the comments and tell me your biggest stage fright struggle! 👇

🌀 Singing to Calm Your Nervous System 🎶

Did you know that singing or even just humming can help shift your body out of stress mode? When we vocalize, we stimulate the vagus nerve, which signals to our nervous system that we’re safe. It slows the heart rate, deepens the breath, and helps us feel more grounded and calm. 🌿

And the best part? You don’t have to be a "good singer" to benefit from this. Your voice is for YOU, not for judgment. If you’ve ever been told you "can’t sing"—forget that. Humming, chanting, or singing softly is enough to bring you back into balance. ⚖️

🎤 Try it now: hum a simple melody, sing a favorite line from a song, or just vocalize a long "Ahhh" sound. Notice how your body responds.

I wrote an article about how singing helps regulate the nervous system—check it out to learn more. Link in bio.

Do you ever hum or sing to relax? Let me know in the comments.

“I’ve always wanted to sing, but I just don't think I ever could.”

I hear this so often, and honestly—it makes me really sad.

Because the truth is: you can.

Somewhere along the way, someone made you believe that you had to be “naturally talented” to sing. That you had to sound a certain way for your voice to be valid.

But that’s just not true. Singing is a skill, not a talent. And skills can be learned, practiced, and developed.

Even the most incredible singers you know started somewhere. Even they had moments of doubt. Even they had to work at it.

If you’ve ever felt like you “weren’t meant to sing,” I want you to know:
🎶 Your voice is just as worthy as anyone else’s.
🎶 Singing is about feeling, not perfection.
🎶 You deserve to experience the joy of expressing yourself.

And if you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally try—this is it.

💙 Comment if this speaks to you. Or just take a deep breath… and hum a little melody. Start there.

(📌 Save this for when you need a reminder.)

The Science Behind Singing 🎶

Singing isn’t just about making sounds—it’s a powerful combination of art and science! 🎤💡

Did you know?

✔ Your vocal folds vibrate to create sound, but your resonance gives your voice its unique tone.
✔ The "sing from your diaphragm" myth? ❌ Nope! Singing is about balancing air pressure, NOT pushing more air.
✔ Your brain loves singing—it boosts dopamine (happiness hormone) and reduces cortisol (stress hormone)!
