Vocal Myths Quiz | The Truth About Vocal Health

Over my two decades of vocal health work, I’ve collected a series of vocal myths from clients and prospects about singing that can actually damage your voice.

Are you believing these top vocal myths? Take my Vocal Myths Quiz and test your vocal health knowledge!

You can sing in both your head voice and your chest voice at the same time.

That's right, you got it!

Just like you can't be in two gears when driving a stick shift, you can’t sing in your chest voice and head voice at the same time.

Sorry, that's incorrect!

Like driving a stick shift, you can’t be in two gears at the same time. The same is true for your head voice and your chest voice (which are classical technique terms).

You should only sing with an "open" space if you're singing opera or classical music.

Yes! Correct.

You should only sing with an "open" space if you're singing opera or classical music.

Nope. Sorry.

You should only sing with an "open" space if you're singing opera or classical music.

Things like Throat Coat tea, throat sprays, and lozenges are good for your voice.

You got it right!

Relying on things like Throat Coat tea, throat sprays, and lozenges can actually be BAD for your voice.

No, sorry!

Relying on things like Throat Coat tea, throat sprays, and lozenges can actually be BAD for your voice. Think of these things like anesthesia, because they essentially numb your cords!

The only time vocal rest is necessary is if you're already fatigued.

You're right!

Going on vocal rest, or trying to "save" your voice before a big performance, does nothing to help you.

Sorry, that's incorrect!

After you've done something to your voice that damages it (like doing the wrong technique) is when you go on vocal rest.

Pulling back on high notes is a healthy way to preserve your voice.

Correct!

When you let go of the fear of high notes and put your whole body into it, you'll be surprised at what comes out.

Nope!

Pulling back on high notes can cause more damage to your cords.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Katti Power is bar-none, hands-down, one of the very best voice teachers out there. I’ve been singing for 23 years, and have had several teachers over the years, from NYC to LA. Many of my teachers have been good, but I learned more in one lesson with Katti than I did several months with other teachers.

Jennnifer B.

I had the honor of working with Katti right before the Talent Quest National Competition. In only a few short lessons she had me miles above where I started out. Her methods help you stretch your range while keeping your vocal health. She continuously helped me get better each time we met.

Kristen H.
Competitive Singer

Katti…helped me realize that my voice will always be there, and I just need to trust that it knows what to do. The biggest change was our work with how forward my belt is going. I had learned how to do it before, but something wasn’t clicking for me to keep it forward. Katti listened to my fear about having true power in my voice and allowed me to have a safe place to start the work to let myself be heard. I ended up belting a note I had tried to… belt for 10 years!

Elyza B.

Katti is an unforgettable voice instructor. I came to Katti when I was 18 years old because I wanted to improve my musical theatre sound. I had absolutely no clue how to belt before beginning [Unlimited Vocal Health™] and when I graduated from Circle in the Square Theatre School in New York City four years later, I was the top belter in my class. The more lessons I took the more my confidence as a singer and an all around performer grew.

No joke, Katti Power is a complete and utter bad ass. She’ll turn you into one as well if you give her the chance.

Steve A.
Competitive Singer

Katti is BRILLIANT!!! I never thought I would be able to belt, but I was definitely proven wrong! Thanks to my ONE LESSON with Katti I have just landed a role in “Shout! The Mod Musical” and will be healthily belting my face off!

Chelsea A.
Singer

I feel like I finally learned the secret of singing I’ve been looking for all my life! I always felt like my teachers didn’t quite “get” my voice and there was something either I really wasn’t getting or they really were not teaching. Now I know what it is! Thank you Katti!!

Sheri P.
Singer

[Katti] is the best singing coach I've ever had. I love working with her because she's so supportive, she has such a great ear, and she can get to the heart of any of my problems right away. She's positive, very knowledgeable, and most of all - one of the biggest reasons I would highly recommend Katti is that she's a great human being.

Mike J.
Singer & Actor

I can sing higher again and I’m more confident in my belting abilities, as well as my breath support!

Nikki S.
WKT World Champion

Thank you so much for believing in me and for helping me become who I am today… You changed my life Katti.

Mikko B.
2018 World Champion

I’m most excited to know the difference between legit and belt voice and practice choosing how to sing and speak intentionally in a way that is healthiest for me.

Renana
Singer

I use to think my voice just couldn’t sing certain notes in certain ways, but that is completely false! I wish I had known these techniques back when I was struggling and performing every day. And knowing how to sing in my uncomfortable areas without hurting my voice is amazing. I feel like I could sing almost anything now!!

Garie Jean
Singer & Actress

Now that I have had that hour session I know how to overcome my straining and relax my throat when singing up high. The way Katti teaches, the illustrations she gives, and the exercises she uses help me to understand in a way I’d never thought about before…Knowing how quickly she fixed my problem, I feel extremely confident that she would be able to help anyone else…

Jack S.
Singer

I’m really not sure where I would be without you. You have given me such confidence in so many areas and have given me the skills to take my performing to the next level.

Julie R.
Actress & Singer

Thank you, Katti. I’ve learned so much from you; no words can express my gratitude!

Alfreda
4th Place National Competitor

I’m singing songs I did not think I would ever be able to sing!

Kate
Singer

I believe you can always improve your craft, so for the past few years I’ve been working with internationally acclaimed vocal teacher Katti Power.

Beth B.
2019 KWC World Champion

I’m so excited – I got the role I told you I was called back for (the initial audition consisted of a monologue and my singing “That’s Rich,” which I had worked with you in my VIP session)! Thank you so much, Katti, for your training! I’m thrilled, and will continue to make the efforts to sing without fear and apply the proper technique so I can sing without getting fatigued.
