In this episode of Vocal Tips in 10, Amber Cathey addresses one of the most common questions singers ask: How do I know if I’m singing wrong? Instead of chasing “perfect” technique, Amber offers a simpler, more grounded approach—two key questions every singer can use to check in with their voice: Does it feel good? and Do I like how it sounds? These questions help singers build trust with their instrument, reduce overthinking, and make more confident vocal choices.
