The Engaging Voice

In continuing the journey of wholistic health for our voice and body, Tara chats with a pro musician who takes us on a little different journey of the singing voice. This episode features Fiona Flyte, the Singer’s Biz Coach. Fiona shares her story about how she became a singer and entrepreneur and how her journey has led her to help other singers. She delves into the mindset behind being a Singerpreneur and gives singers some ways that they can start a vocal studio. If you are a singer and want to look at why you sing and how you can stay healthy in your mindset as a singer making a living, this is the episode for you.

(4:06) While Fiona didn’t grow up in a musical family, she still had parents who took her to musical theater and plays. She developed a love for musical theater.

(24:49) “We only need to be a couple of steps ahead of whoever is our student.”

(30:49) “The more we believe that we have to be perfect, the more our ego will tell us that we shouldn’t put anything out because we’re not perfect.”
