Imposter Syndrome Matt Dell

Maddie Tarbox feels pissed about imposter syndrome.
In this episode I try to hold myself together while talking to a person who has been like a mentor to me, Maddie Tarbox. We discuss many topics from the deep seeded roots of imposter syndrome, how imposter syndrome applies to teachers, and bicycle face. That's right, bicycle face. The syndrome that doctors from the 1800's would diagnose women with to keep them from riding a bicycle. My only response to that is...men....why?
This episode was one where I felt an absolute ton of imposter syndrome. After experiencing a large amount of trauma I felt that all of my knowledge had disappeared from my head. I found Maddie while scrolling through TikTok and really connected to her material. So, to rebuild my knowledge base I took her Voice Function 101 course and felt a huge amount of relief after completing it. So, of course I had to have her on the podcast to talk all about it.
Did I hold it together enough to not sound like a complete dunce while talking to her? Who knows. I'm sure I'll find at least 1 or 2 things that I'll think about obsessively that I wish I had said differently. In the meantime, enjoy this episode with my guest Maddie Tarbox

Elliott Isaac feels grateful for imposter syndrome.
This was such a wonderful opportunity to speak to one of my bestest buddies on the podcast. Elliott and I discuss challenges in the music industry, the humble beginnings as a DIY musician, and his first experience with imposter syndrome playing hockey as a younger dude.
I am forever grateful for my friendship with Elliott. Not only have I been a teacher during his singing journey, but he has also been a great teacher for me increasing my guitar chops, being a great backboard for my own teaching style, and just an all around great dude!!
Enjoy this episode with my great friend Elliott Isaac :)

Aphrose feels like imposter syndrome likes to rain on her parade...
Not only as a performer, but also as a mother, and as a woman in todays society. We discuss the challenges that come from being a woman as well as a new mom in the music industry, the time she opened up for my all time musical hero, and our beginning days as voice teachers as well as the first time we met.
Aphrose, a.k.a Joanna, was one of the members of the original 4 at the school I started teaching at. The original 4 consisted of myself, Joanna Mohammed-Gonzalez, Lizzy Clarke, and Nevon Sinclair. These three, hands down, played a large role making me who I am today. I would not be the voice teacher I am today without them. And I am eternally grateful for all of their support over the years.
Enjoy my conversation with Aphrose :)

Lizzy feels aggravated about imposter syndrome. Although, she would like to monologue on it more.
We talk about coming back to the artist grind after COVID, understanding and accepting audience validation, and learning to treat ourselves with kindness and compassion in the same way we as voice teachers do for our students.
Lizzy has been such an important part in my life as we were part of the elite 4 at the first music school I started teaching at. The group consisted of myself, Lizzy, Joanna, and Nevon. These three were some of the most supportive and influential people, not only in my teaching career, but also in my life. They challenged me, they comforted me, and they help me to see the kind of teacher I am and who I could become. I am forever grateful to all three of them!!

Galen feels very much one with imposter syndrome
In this episode we talk about our feelings of insecurity as teachers, understanding that "fake it till you make it" is actually "learn it till you make it", along with his story of how he landed a gig with Super Simple Songs.
This episode was not only an exciting one for me, but my 5 year old was star struck when he got to meet the voice he hears on tv everyday in person. Magical!!
As a side note, this episode does not contain any explicit language so that this episode could be appropriate for all ages to listen to. Which turned out to be a challenge for me, but we kept it clean :)
