Julian Morris - Building Your Vocal Options Across Styles and Genres
<p><b>Episode summary</b></p><p><br />In this episode, Steve Giles sits down with New York City voice teacher and performer Julian Morris to explore how modern singers are moving between styles more freely than ever, without having to “reinvent the wheel” each time. Julian breaks down his core teaching focus: building vocal options through a reliable foundational sound, then learning how to add colour, style, and intensity on purpose. They dig into how technique and expression can solve each other, how Julian approaches belt without the “loud and wide” trap, and what really changes when you shift between classical and contemporary singing. Julian also shares his take on teacher–student fit, performance mindset, and why joy has to stay at the centre of a lifelong singing journey.</p><p>What we cover</p><p></p><ul><li>Why genre boundaries are blurring—and what that means for singers who need flexibility across styles</li><li>How to build vocal “options” so you can choose sound, colour, and intensity intentionally</li><li>Belt without the myths: high notes don’t have to mean “louder and wider,” and belting isn’t a voice type<p></p></li></ul><p><b>Subscribe to the audio version</b></p><p><br />Apple Podcasts: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-help-singers/id1869107366" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-help-singers/id1869107366</a><br />Amazon Music: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/dc705e11-3f3c-44e0-83f5-35c23fd0c5e1/we-help-singers" target="_blank">https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/dc705e11-3f3c-44e0-83f5-35c23fd0c5e1/we-help-singers</a></p><p></p><p><b>Links & resources</b></p><p><br />Julian Morris: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.julianmorrisvoice.com/" target="_blank">https://www.julianmorrisvoice.com/</a><br />We Help Singers: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wehelpsingers.com" target="_blank">https://www.wehelpsingers.com</a><br />Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/wehelpsingers" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/wehelpsingers</a></p><p></p><p><b>Call to action</b></p><p><br />If this conversation helped you, follow the show on your podcast app and share this episode with a singer or coach who’d benefit.

John Henny - Voice Teaching in the Age of AI
<p><b>Episode summary</b></p><p><br />In this episode, Steve Giles sits down with vocal coach John Henny to unpack what really drives vocal improvement at a high level, why vocal tract acoustics matter so much, how “ease” in the voice is often the result of better resonance balance, and why semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (like straws and lip trills) are so effective. They also explore the human side of teaching: why fit between teacher and student matters, how imagery can unlock coordination when technical cues fail, and where AI is likely to support (not replace) great voice teachers in the years ahead.</p><p></p><p><b>What we cover</b></p><p></p><ul><li>Why the voice is shaped as much by the vocal tract as by the vocal folds and why “sing from the vocal tract” is a useful reframe</li><li>Phonation Threshold Pressure (PTP): what it is, why lower effort matters, and how SOVT exercises help</li><li>The “handover” between resonances/registers and how vowel tuning helps singers transition without pushing</li><li>Why minimal effort for maximum result is the goal—and why “tension-free singing” would just be silence</li><li>Using imagery to bypass overthinking and improve coordination (expansion vs contraction, “above the note,” helium head)</li><li>Why teacher–student connection is a competitive advantage that AI won’t replicate</li><li>How AI can reduce admin, accelerate learning, and even create powerful training tools without replacing the human in the room</li></ul><p><br /><b>Watch the full video:</b></p><p></p><p>YouTube : <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtube.com/@wehelpsingerspod" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@wehelpsingerspod</a></p><p></p><p>Spotify: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7mjWrEYI7gMT5gnBL9FDIq?si=ve8_6UrJT5iy7zEgSqjeGg" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/7mjWrEYI7gMT5gnBL9FDIq?si=ve8_6UrJT5iy7zEgSqjeGg</a></p><p></p><p><b>Links & resources</b></p><p><br />John Henny: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://johnhenny.com/" target="_blank">https://johnhenny.com/</a><br />We Help Singers: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wehelpsingers.com" target="_blank">https://www.wehelpsingers.com</a><br />Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/wehelpsingers" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/wehelpsingers</a></p><p></p><p><b>Call to action</b></p><p><br />If this conversation helped you, follow the show on your podcast app and share this episode with a singer or coach who’d benefit.

Sarah Algoet - Why Student-Teacher Fit Matters
<p><b>Episode summary</b></p><p><br />In this episode, Steve Giles sits down with Sarah Algoet to explore teacher-student fit in voice training, why not every singer is the right match for every teacher and how self-reflection, willingness and clear communication can transform the learning process. They also unpack nervous system regulation, sustainable singing, hypermobility, performance anxiety and why guiding singers toward awareness is often more powerful than simply giving instructions.</p><p></p><p><b>What we cover</b></p><p></p><ul><li>Why teacher-student fit matters and how the wrong match can lead to frustration and burnout</li><li>The role of accountability, willingness, and self-reflection in effective voice training</li><li>Why awareness and playful experimentation often lead to better learning than rigid instruction</li><li>How nervous system regulation can improve breathing, safety, and vocal freedom</li><li>Why values-based action is more useful than fear-based thinking in performance</li><li>Sara’s work with hypermobile singers and why hypermobility is often misunderstood in voice training</li><li>How honest communication helps singers and teachers decide whether a working relationship is the right fit</li></ul><p></p><p><b>Watch the full video:</b></p><p></p><p>YouTube : <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtube.com/@wehelpsingerspod" target="_blank">https://youtube.com/@wehelpsingerspod</a></p><p></p><p>Spotify: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7mjWrEYI7gMT5gnBL9FDIq?si=ve8_6UrJT5iy7zEgSqjeGg" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/7mjWrEYI7gMT5gnBL9FDIq?si=ve8_6UrJT5iy7zEgSqjeGg</a></p><p></p><p><b>Links & resources</b></p><p><br />Sarah : <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://singsing.be/onlinecourses" target="_blank">https://singsing.be/onlinecourses</a><br />We Help Singers: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wehelpsingers.com" target="_blank">https://www.wehelpsingers.com</a><br />Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/wehelpsingers" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/wehelpsingers</a></p><p></p><p><b>Call to action</b></p><p><br />If this conversation helped you, follow the show on your podcast app and share this episode with a singer or coach who’d benefit.
