    Sing Anyway with Linor Oren

    In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John speaks with vocal coach, choir director, and former opera and music theater performer about the fear, shame, and self-doubt that stop so many people from singing. Drawing from her work with hundreds of adult singers and her own journey overcoming performance anxiety, Linor shares practical ways to reconnect with the joy of singing and separate technical practice from emotional expression. If singing matters to you, you do not have to wait until you feel "ready" to enjoy it.   Episode highlights: One negative comment can shape a singer's identity for years. Separating technique mode from performance mode helps singers reconnect with joy. Breaking skills into small, manageable steps builds confidence and consistency.   To learn more about Linor Oren, go to https://singwell.eu/ To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

    Vocal Fold Geometry, and the Science of Mix

    In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John breaks down the science behind mix and explains how vocal fold geometry and airflow work together to create smooth transitions. He explains why cracks, strain, or inconsistency often come from a mismatch in coordination rather than doing something wrong. When you understand how your voice actually functions, you can train it more precisely and with less frustration.   Episode highlights: Your vocal folds have multiple vibration patterns built into them. Cracks happen when vocal fold patterns fail to stay in sync. Training can improve coordination and control at any age.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

    Voice Teaching's Language Problem

    In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explores how the language we use to teach singing can sometimes create confusion instead of clarity. He explains how vocal models evolve over time and why problems arise when imagery is mistaken for anatomy or when teachers argue across different types of language. The goal is not to abandon imagery or science, but to understand what each is actually doing so you can use both more effectively in your teaching and singing.   Episode highlights: Vocal models evolve, but they can become misleading when treated as fixed truth. Imagery works as a tool, but it should not be confused with physical anatomy. Clear communication comes from knowing whether you are using sensation or mechanism.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

    The Right Kind of Imagery: Why Most Vocal Imagery Fails and What Actually Works

    In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explores why some vocal imagery works while other common cues fall flat. He explains how kinesthetic imagery, based on real physical sensation, can strengthen the brain pathways that control singing. Start feeling your way through your voice and notice how much more direct and effective your practice becomes.   Episode highlights: Kinesthetic imagery activates the brain's motor control systems. Effective imagery maps to real physical sensations in the body. Combining imagery with physical practice improves results.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

    Singing as Signal Flow: Stop Singing Words and Start Singing Sound

    In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explains why thinking in words can make phrasing feel choppy and disconnected, and shows how shifting your focus to a continuous signal flow creates smoother, more efficient singing. Let the sound carry you from note to note and see how much easier your voice can feel.   Episode highlights: Vowels carry the sound, while consonants should stay light and brief. Continuous airflow supports smoother, more connected singing. Reducing vocal restarts helps lower effort and fatigue.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

    The Brain-Voice Speed Gap, Part 1: Why Your Voice Is Aging Where You Don't Expect

    In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explores a surprising reason the voice can feel different with age. He explains how changes in the brain and nervous system affect the speed and precision of the signals that control your voice. The encouraging news is that the brain remains highly adaptable, and understanding these changes is the first step toward strengthening the brain-voice connection.   Episode highlights: Changes in myelin, dopamine, acetylcholine, and motor planning can affect vocal speed, timing, and precision. Neuroplasticity means the brain can still adapt and strengthen with training well into later life. Singing and musical training can help keep the brain's voice-related systems more responsive.   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com

    The One Number That Explains Your Vocal Struggles

    In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John talks about phonation threshold pressure, or PTP, and explains why it may be the hidden factor behind days when your voice feels heavy, effortful, or unpredictable. He breaks down what raises PTP, especially in the aging voice, and shares practical tools like hydration, nebulizing, SOVT exercises, and smart practice habits to bring it back down. When you understand this one number, singing starts to make a lot more sense, and you gain back a sense of control.   Episode highlights: High PTP equals harder singing, low PTP equals easier singing Dryness, stiffness, and atrophy are major drivers of vocal effort as we age Consistent daily exercise helps manage long term stiffness and weakness   To learn more about John Henny, his best-selling books, on-line courses, Voiceschool.com featuring his Teaching Team of Experts, Speaker Training and the Contemporary Voice Teacher Academy, visit: JohnHenny.com
