Practicing Thoughts

Published on: 16th January, 2026

We all feel nervous when we’re doing Big Things, and singing in front of others is definitely a Big Thing. What would it help to be thinking when you’re doing something Big?

In this episode, I explain

  1. The mental and physical benefits that accompany the work of building your voice.
  2. Why feeling vulnerable is an important part of singing and speaking.
  3. How to reframe that vulnerability so that performing in public feels like a good thing. .

Plus, a preview of a new group experience I’m developing this year.

About the Podcast

Can't Wait to Hear You
with Michèle Voillequé
Does singing feel so difficult, painful, or embarrassing that you hide it from the people you love? Does speaking feel scratchy, exhausting, breathless, or forced?

Singer and voice teacher Michèle Voillequé teaches the art and science of sounding and feeling the best you can. If you love the sound of your ideas, but hate the sound of your voice, be sure to subscribe to Can’t Wait to Hear You.
