Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.280 What Singing Teachers Need to Understand About Performance Anxiety with Mel Toy
Q: How should teachers handle a student who launches into a rant about life in sessions?
Assess the relationship and the session's goals, allow space for expression, but steer back to the session purpose, possibly finishing with a lighter activity like singing a favorite song to restore balance and focus.
Ep.280 What Singing Teachers Need to Understand About Performance Anxiety with Mel Toy
Q: What practical steps can teachers take in the studio to support a singer who is anxious but not disclose it?
First, acknowledge that you may not know what someone is feeling and use open-ended questions to invite sharing. Then adapt the session to the person's needs, such as starting with a preferred song, doing breath work, grounding exercises, or a quick grounding activity, and ensure the learner leaves feeling better than at the start.
Ep.279 On Vocal Crashes, Career Lessons and Sustainable Singing with Chris Killik
Q: Where can listeners find out more about your work and book a lesson with you?
They can follow him on Instagram at Christopher Killik or visit his website chriskillik.com and use the vocal coach button to connect for lessons.
Ep.279 On Vocal Crashes, Career Lessons and Sustainable Singing with Chris Killik
Q: From your perspective as a coach, what would you tell Chris playing Mary Sunshine in Chicago after those marathon runs?
Advice would include lifestyle and voice-use considerations, not overrelying on a single voice type, and recognizing the importance of rest, proper cooldowns, and language-specific challenges that can strain the voice.
Ep.279 On Vocal Crashes, Career Lessons and Sustainable Singing with Chris Killik
Q: Where did the vocal crash come from, and what happened?
He details a string of intense roles with limited recovery time, a heavy workload, and culminating in a vocal crash that required rebuilding his technique with mentors and a recalibration of how he uses his voice.
