My mom was a recording artist during the 60s. She made some money in the post-war era when economy in Taiwan was booming. Ironically, she warned me not to become a singer, because she knew how hard it is for singers to make a living. Of course, I didn’t listen to her and became a professional singer […]

I have reviewed quite a couple of online singing courses out there, and I must say – I have never seen one quite like Vocal Nebula created by voice teacher Joe Naab. In short, I have mixed feelings about this very unique singing course. Because as a voice teacher, Joe Naab really opened my eyes with […]

Do you secretly love singing but don’t know where and how to start? Are you frustrated with singing that you just concluded that you just don’t have “the voice”(whatever that means)? If you are what I just described, please read this very important post. I have been singing all my life and have struggled with my voice […]

But this time, I am surprised by what I’m seeing on this very unique and innovative vocal training platform Singdaptive.
