Why AI Won't Take My Job

Published on: 24th April, 2026

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has predicted that Artificial Intelligence could automate as many as 40% of tasks currently performed by humans in our current economy. Teaching voice will not be one of them. Let me tell you why.

In this episode, I explain

  • How singing and speaking are body-to-body and heart-to-heart ways of communicating. Our physicality matters as much as our words.
  • How singing is fundamentally an emotional, as opposed to intellectual, project.
  • Ways to explore how your emotions affect your voice, as a first step to singing or speaking well, even when you’re experiencing strong feelings.

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?

It doesn't have to be that way. Your voice can sound and feel amazing, even in stressful situations. You just need to know how to use it.

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.
