Think you can't sing? Vocal coach Jon Norton has some good news

Singer and vocal coach Jon Norton joined Steps on RTL Today Radio to discuss his new book, Your Voice Isn't Broken, and explain why even the most reluctant singers might have more potential than they realise.

Ever heard a recording of yourself singing and wondered who on earth was making that noise? You're not alone. According to Jon Norton, many of us simply don't understand how our singing voices work, and that lack of understanding can stop us from ever giving it a proper go.

Drawing on 20 years of experience, his book Your Voice Isn't Broken: What They Never Taught You About Your Singing strips away the technical jargon and offers practical advice on breathing, vocal control and building confidence.

“Singing is physical. It's not a question of cupping your hands, like I used to do in an amateur choir, and hoping and praying.”

During the conversation, Jon explains why we hear our own voices differently from everyone else, shares a simple trick for monitoring pitch and reveals why emotion matters just as much as technique.

And then things get interesting. Steps, who readily admits that singing isn't among his greatest talents, volunteers for an impromptu lesson.

Two notes, a little coaching and the discovery that perhaps there's hope after all.

Can you really improve a voice you've spent years believing is hopeless? Listen to the full conversation and hear how Steps gets on.

Your Voice Isn't Broken is available in paperback and Kindle editions, with further information and coaching resources at johnjnaughton.com.
