April 2026 Issue

Here's What the First Issue Covers

A preview of the debut issue of Master Your Voice Monthly — arriving April 1.

Ted's Voice Note

"Recently I was working with a client — a long-time singer and performer — who was coming home from chorus rehearsals genuinely fatigued. We started looking at what was actually happening with her breath during singing, and pretty quickly we found it: she had internalized 'breath support' as something that should be constant and effortful. When we shifted her attention from 'apply support' to 'feel the balance,' something released. The following week she came back and said the strain after rehearsal was simply gone."

This newsletter is how I share what I'm learning, teaching, and thinking about — one issue per month, no fluff, no sales pitches. Just the good stuff.
