Vocal struggles donāt always show up in the high notes. For Michael, the hardest part of his voice wasnāt the top or bottomāit was the middle.

We talk about:
Why mid-range notes feel harder than they shouldHow to explore your voice instead of forcing itWhat to do when youāre scared the audience will ānoticeā your weak spotHow to focus on your strengths without ignoring your challengesIf youāve ever felt like youāre the only one struggling with something that āshouldā be easyāMichaelās journey will remind you that progress is personal, and no oneās voice is perfect.
