## Resource

In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist , John explains why good moments in practice can sometimes fail to stick, not because of talent or effort, but because we miss what created them. He introduces a simple target-based practice loop that replaces vague goals and self judgment with clear, repeatable actions. With the right focus, your practice can start building skills that actually last. Episode highlights: Clear targets work better than vague outcomes. Neutral feedback supports faster learning. Small, repeatable adjustments create consistency.
