The real block sits under the surface. It’s the moment where the song should land and somehow doesn’t. You can feel it. The audience can feel it. Something is missing. In this episode, we dig into that missing piece How singers learn songs too fast How the ear follows the recording but not the key How interpretation can be lovely but still empty And how inhabiting a song changes everything We talk through the internal logic sitting inside every piece of music The logic of the harmony The logic of the text The tiny decision points singers often sail past without noticing The moments of energy change, tempo change, key change, and emotional shift that carry the story There are real examples from our masterclasses, including: A classical song that suddenly locked into tune once the chords were stripped back. A singer who delivered a perfect interpretation but didn’t sound like himself until we dug for his version of the truth. A musical theatre song that revealed its turning point in the silence between phrases. 00:00 Why your song isn't landing 01:24 A shift in vocal technique 03:32 Being honest about your background 05:17 Helping a singer with tuning 08:39 Learning the song but not the key 10:15 Change points help you map the song 11:23 Do you memorise too quickly? 12:23 The Speed Run and other techniques 13:40 Acting without acting training 16:14 Green Finch and Linnet Bird 19:23 Not For The Life Of Me - Hidden in the text 21:47 Gimme Gimme - When ARE decisions made? 24:03 I Remember Sondheim 25:54 I Don't Sound Like Me! 30:30 Interpretation versus Inhabitation 35:06 The "studio-perfect" voice myth 37:44 This is our context, what's yours? If you teach singers, this episode gives you tools to diagnose why a performance isn’t landing. If you’re a singer, it shows you how to slow down, listen differently, and find the place where your voice actually sits inside the song. Tell us how you approach learning or teaching songs. What do you notice, break down, strip back, or question? We’d love to hear it.
