Real class insight: Sophia’s one-on-one vocal session

In her recent live lesson, Sophia worked with Reagan on breath control, vocal projection, and high note technique. Here’s what they worked on:

Improving breath support – controlling airflow for stronger notes

Sophia struggled with breath control, particularly when singing high notes. Reagan immediately noticed that she was having difficulty controlling her airflow. Reagan told her that, “Make sure you’re not letting all the air out on the first note. Take a deep breath.”

What Sophia learned:

“Reagan helped me focus on using my diaphragm and keeping my core strong to support my voice,” Sophia says. “I was letting my breath out too early, but now I know how to control the airflow better.”

With focused breathing techniques, Sophia began to feel more stability and control, especially when hitting those high notes.

Mastering high notes – singing with confidence and support

One of Sophia’s struggles was feeling unstable when reaching for high notes. Reagan helped her learn to sing those notes with better support and confidence.

What Sophia learned:

“Reagan showed me that I don’t need to force the high notes,” Sophia says. “By keeping my chest voice engaged, I can just let the sound flow, which makes it feel much more stable.”

With Reagan’s guidance, Sophia learned to approach high notes with confidence, which allowed her to sing them more clearly.

Fine-tuning vocal placement – ensuring a balanced sound

Reagan introduced Sophia to a technique that would help her stabilize her sound, particularly on high notes.

What Sophia learned:

Sophia focused on keeping the sound internal, rather than letting it escape outward. This helped her achieve better vocal control and avoid strain on high notes. “By placing the sound more inside my mouth, my high notes feel more controlled and less forced,” Sophia reflects.

Confidence building – overcoming self-doubt on high notes

Sophia often second-guessed herself when singing high notes. Reagan worked with her to build confidence and encouraged her to embrace each note without hesitation.

What Sophia learned:

“I used to hold back, afraid of cracking my voice,” Sophia admits. “But Reagan showed me how to just go for it, even if it feels a bit unstable at first. That really made a difference.”

By letting go of self-doubt, Sophia started approaching the high notes with more confidence and control.

Why this matters: You can improve too
