Singing live can be brutalâespecially when youâre not used to it or you took a break for a while. I worked with singer Cam - whoâs an experienced performer, but took a long break from performing live - to help him build up his stamina again. We quickly realized that working on singing as effortlessly as possible and reducing tongue tension will be key to building up his stamina again. This episode is the coaching session we had together so that you can see what all goes into building stamina and reducing effort.

Vocal struggles donât always show up in the high notes. For Michael, the hardest part of his voice wasnât the top or bottomâit was the middle.
In this episode, we sit down with VoxTape student Michael Graetzer and his coach Emily for a raw, honest look at what itâs like to work through a vocal sticking pointâspecifically the passaggio.
We talk about:
Why mid-range notes feel harder than they shouldHow to explore your voice instead of forcing itWhat to do when youâre scared the audience will ânoticeâ your weak spotHow to focus on your strengths without ignoring your challengesIf youâve ever felt like youâre the only one struggling with something that âshouldâ be easyâMichaelâs journey will remind you that progress is personal, and no oneâs voice is perfect.
