Preparing Your Brain for the Stage with Vocal Freedom and Mastery with Jonathan E. Smith

Sing with greater freedom, confidence, and emotional connection by learning how to quickly access professional vocal habits and perform with less fear and self-doubt.

Many singers understand vocal technique but struggle to access it when they are under pressure. This workshop simplifies professional-level vocal habits for all skill levels and explores how singers practice and develop trust in these skills.  Ultimately, students will learn how to move from technical control into authentic, expressive performance.

By the end, participants will:
- Understand how vocal skills move from conscious effort into automatic coordination
- Learn how to train the brain to build reliable and consistent vocal habits
- Learn strategies for moving from “practice mode” into “performance mode”
- Develop exercises to strengthen confidence, trust, and recovery when mistakes happen
- Understand how attention and mindset affect resonance, breath, coordination, and expression
- Gain exercises that integrate technique, artistry, and confidence into one complete approach
