Summary
If you’ve ever felt like you know what to do technically — you have the skills, the talent, the exercises — and yet something still feels blocked when you sing… this episode is for you. In this episode of Vocal Tips in 10, Amber Mogg Cathey sits down with licensed hypnotherapist Katie Crooks to explore the connection between the mind, nervous system, emotions, and the voice — and why technique alone isn’t always enough to unlock the voice and artistry you’re capable of. Katie shares how decades of working with singers and speakers eventually led her into hypnotherapy and subconscious work, helping performers move through fear, perfectionism, emotional holding patterns, performance anxiety, and nervous system responses that can directly affect vocal freedom and expression. This conversation explores: • performance anxiety + the nervous system • emotional blocks in singing • subconscious patterns that affect performance • why some singers still feel stuck even with good technique • creating more safety, confidence, freedom, and connection in your voice And this is just Part 1. Next week, Katie actually guides Amber through a Vocal Reset Hypnosis session that listeners can come back to over and over again as part of their own vocal practice and performance preparation. 🎁 Free support - The Stardom Series 🗣️ Katie's Ignite Your Voice Masterclass Ready to train with the why built into every workout?
