Description

What does it really mean to live up to The Standard as a singer or teacher?

In this episode of The Voice Science Podcast, Josh digs into the philosophical side of excellence in singing. The Standardisn’t about hitting a high note or holding a phrase for twelve seconds — those are just surface measures. Instead, it’s about integrity: showing up honestly in the practice room, holding yourself accountable in lessons, and being trustworthy on stage and in the studio.

We’ll explore how The Standard looks different for beginners, intermediates, advanced singers, professionals, and teachers — and why it’s both demanding and forgiving. You won’t always meet it, and that’s okay. The point is to keep reaching.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between “good enough” and true growth, this episode will challenge you to ask: Am I really living up to The Standard?
