The Three Domains of Singing

The Three Domains of Singing

Back in music school, every time I took a singing exam I’d get nervous, sing my heart out… and then get a “meh” score with a little note like “needs more breath support.”
For years, those comments made me feel like I was a mediocre singer.
Still untangling some of that to this day 😅

A few years ago I started asking myself:

What does it even mean to be a “good” singer?
Is there a clearer, kinder way to understand the craft?

That question led me to explore a framework for breaking singing into separate, modular skills, so singers can work on one thing at a time, feel less overwhelmed, and have a clearer path to growth.

Today, I’m finally sharing the first public draft of this idea:

🎥 I made a video about it, check it out on YouTube!

While I was working on this, I found a survey platform called Tally, and totally nerded-out making a self-assessment quiz for your voice
It’s kind of like a personality quiz (cuz who doesn’t love a good personality quiz!!!!???), but focused on helping you understand your strengths as a singer, and where you can support your voice more intentionally.

This is the first in a short series where I’ll be sharing tools, concepts, and practices to help you build a voice practice that feels more grounded, compassionate, and creatively alive. I’ll be back in a few days with a short voice practice you can try!
