In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John talks with Sergey Kuhne, creator of Singing Carrots, about what AI can and cannot currently do as a vocal coach. They explore where AI can support practice and build confidence while human teachers continue to provide the observation, nuance, and course correction that technology cannot easily replicate. There is a lot to explore here, so it is worth staying curious about where this technology can take us.

Episode highlights:

• AI can provide frequent practice and real-time feedback between lessons.
• Human teachers can address complex physical and performance factors that AI struggles to assess.
• AI can give singers objective feedback that helps them challenge negative beliefs about their voices.

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John takes a close look at the onset, the tiny moment when a note begins, and how it can affect breath, pitch, and vocal clarity. He explains how singers can learn to hear and control these different types of onsets instead of letting them become unconscious habits. Start listening to those first few milliseconds and you may discover a whole new level of control in your singing.

Episode highlights:

• Breath-first, folds-first, and balanced onsets each create different results.
• Great singers use different onsets intentionally for musical expression.
• Precision comes from developing choices rather than relying on automatic defaults.

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explores why singers can get stuck chasing an idealized version of their voice instead of working with the instrument they actually have. He looks at the ways studio recordings and memories of our younger voices can distort that comparison. Give yourself a chance to hear and appreciate what your voice can do right now.

Episode highlights:

• Studio recordings are constructed performances, not one-to-one comparisons.
• Memory can rebuild our best moments into something better than reality.
• Recording yourself and getting outside feedback gives you a more useful perspective.
