Rachel Anne Voice Studio

This week, one of my students came into her lesson exhausted after a heavy exam week.
Normally, her chest voice is strong, grounded, and easy to access. But that day, it felt breathy, disconnected, and harder to coordinate. You could hear how frustrated she was. She kept apologizing and telling me her voice “wasn’t working.”
And honestly, this is such a common moment for singers.

When your voice feels different than usual, it’s easy to spiral into panic and assume something is wrong. Most singers immediately jump into self-judgment instead of observation.

So we shifted the goal.

Instead of trying to “fix” her voice, we got curious about what it was telling us.
That’s what building vocal trust looks like.

Performance consistency doesn’t come from having a voice that feels perfect every day. It comes from understanding how to respond when it doesn’t.
This is exactly what we build together in lessons: vocal awareness, recovery understanding, and the confidence to trust your instrument through changing conditions.

Ready to build a voice you can trust? DM me to work together 1:1.

Vocal fatigue isn’t just about singing.

It’s about how your voice handles the demands of your career and day to day life over time.

That’s what I didn’t understand at first.

Now I help performers build voices that are more sustainable, consistent, and aware of their own patterns.

Most training focuses on performance output.
But real performance careers require vocal sustainability.

Rehearsals, shows, lessons, gigs, day to day life - it all stacks.
Vocal stamina is what allows consistency across that load.

This is what I work on with performers.

Vocal fatigue is common.

But it shouldn’t be constant.

If your voice regularly feels weaker after rehearsals, lessons, or performances, that usually points to a vocal stamina issue - not a lack of talent.

A sustainable performance voice should feel consistent, reliable, and recoverable.

This is what I help performers build.

DM me “STAMINA” if this sounds familiar.

I think a lot of singers struggle with consistency because they believe every practice session has to be a huge vocal workout.

But honestly, some days you’re busy. Some days your energy is low. Some days your voice just needs something gentle.

That’s where SOVTs come in ✨

Lip bubbles, straw phonation, humming - they still get your voice moving and coordinated without demanding a ton from you.

A small, manageable warmup is always better than doing nothing at all.

Consistency with your voice isn’t about going all-out every day. It’s about keeping your voice connected regularly 🤍

Lately I’ve been working with my students on their rep books, and the same question always
comes up: “What songs do panels want to hear?”

Here’s the truth - your rep book should represent you. Not what you think people want, but what
you actually connect to, love to sing, and feel most alive performing.

Yes, you need range. But the foundation is authenticity. Build from who you are, not who you
think you’re supposed to be.

Stop avoiding vocal flips like they’re the problem.
They’re not.

The real issue? How you’re approaching them.

Think of your break like a pothole - you don’t swerve around it, and you don’t smash through
it… you slow down and drive right through it with control.

Same thing with your voice.

Try this: slow “OO” sirens from bottom to top and stay connected through the break.

That’s how you turn instability into control.
Your voice doesn’t need avoidance - it needs navigation.

Let’s talk nasality part 3 baby!

As we know happens when the soft palette is down and the tongue is high which sends excessive air through the nasal cavity! Now, nasality can stabilize your voice, but too much nasality can throw your whole voice off - but the fix is simpler than you think.

Train your soft palate, stay consistent, and you’ll be in control of your sound instead of fighting it 🎤
