600 Second Singing Ep.6 – Are Your Vocal Exercises Helping or Hurting Your Singing?
It's a common thing right? Scales go well, songs go, umm, not so well.
There might be some nifty ways for you to work out why that is and eventually solve it. Steve and Chris look into the ways which the brain and body learn skills and transfer them on to similar tasks. They also give you a few ideas as to how you can start to construct scales that are actually more like songs, which helps drag the benefits over from the exercises!

Customer Reviews
Very knowledgeable
I have just recently discovered this podcast from a friend and fellow vocal teacher— I’ve been a professional singer my whole life, mostly opera and classical but have dabbled in other styles as well — with the most performance venues being shut down I’m returning to the teaching studio so I’m finding a lot of this good reminders of things I either learned or practiced or both but maybe a little different take on it so thank you guys —I think you’re doing a great job —I would love more examples as you’re talking about it rather than waiting to the end to demonstrate
Episode 17
This is a great podcast but the end of episode 17 was sexist and disrespectful, saying the guys should sign up with the female producer just for the view.
Love this podcast but that rubbed me wrong.
Super helpful+adorable
Oh my. Just discovered this duo on a desperate search for help with larynx position and tongue tension. They are so informative, approachable, and helpful!! I’m so glad I found you guys. Thank you so much and please keep it going, your work is such an important contribution!!
