We Help Singers is a podcast about clarity in the voice world. Singers are often told to “trust the process” without ever being shown what that process actually is or who it’s designed for. Teachers see some students thrive while others quietly stall, without clear language for why. When things don’t work, people assume they’re the problem. This podcast exists to change that. Through in-depth conversations with vocal coaches and singers, We Help Singers explores how teachers actually think and work, how singers experience their voice, and why progress depends on the relationship between the two. We dig into philosophy, method, failures, successes and the real decisions that shape vocal development.

    Korel Tunador - The Importance of Collaboration & Musical Independence

    Episode summary In this episode, Steve Giles sits down with voice and music coach Korel Tunador to explore a musician-first approach to vocal coaching. Shaped by decades of professional touring with major artists including Rob Thomas, Katy Perry, and the Goo Goo Dolls, Korel shares how discovering voice science later in his career transformed his teaching, blending empirical knowledge with real-world musicianship. They discuss Korel’s non-hierarchical philosophy, where singers are treated as teammates rather than students, and lessons are collaborative sessions instead of top-down instruction. The conversation also dives into musicianship, psychology, and why energy exchange in teaching can be just as fulfilling as performing on stage. What we cover * Why the voice should be trained with the same rigor as any other instrument * The benefits of a non-hierarchical, teammate-based coaching relationship * Why Korel often prioritizes laryngeal coordination over breath-first approaches * The role of complete musicianship (piano, guitar, ear training) in vocal development * The psychological side of voice work and how awareness accelerates progress Watch the full video: YouTube : https://youtube.com/@wehelpsingerspod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7mjWrEYI7gMT5gnBL9FDIq?si=ve8_6UrJT5iy7zEgSqjeGg Links & resources Korel Tunador: https://koreltunador.com/ We Help Singers: https://www.wehelpsingers.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wehelpsingers Call to action If this conversation helped you, follow the show on your podcast app and share this episode with a singer or coach who’d benefit.
