Professional vocal coach and speech-language pathologist Maurice Goodwin joins Melissa to talk about why singers should see themselves as vocal athletes. Performing isn’t just about hitting the high notes — it’s about training, conditioning, and recovery, just like any athlete would. We’ll explore the biggest mistakes singers make when it comes to vocal care, why prevention is more powerful than “fixing,” and the essential shifts you need to make if you want your voice to last for the long run.All things Maurice:Instagram & TikTok: @maurice_goodwin & @voiceproedWebsite: http://www.mauricegoodwin.com Need help not only navigating your vocal challenges, mindset, while also working through your gigging game plan?
