#151 Chatting to Julie Bale all about Singing

Today's Mic Drop Moments Guest is Julie Bale  

• Voice teacher, hypnotherapist, and lifelong singer  
• Over 35 years of experience teaching singing  
• Author of a successful book on hypnotherapy for weight loss

Julie has a lifelong passion for singing and has been singing since before she could speak and has always taught others to find their voice. Her early experiences—ranging from childhood karaoke to memorable school choir moments—sparked her enduring love for music.

Julie discovered hypnotherapy as a tool to overcome stage nerves and help singers unlock their full potential. This approach not only boosted performance confidence but also led her to develop a hypnotherapy program that successfully addressed weight struggles.

A series of events, including a moving funeral and an emotional conversation with a former student, inspired Julie to refocus on the transformative power of singing. She recognised that many people are silenced by past criticisms and missed opportunities to embrace their natural talent.

Julie emphasises that singing is a skill anyone can develop with practice, regardless of early discouragement or perceived limitations. She highlights common experiences where negative comments from authority figures (e.g., teachers, parents) hinder potential, and she challenges these narratives.

There’s a strong synergy between singing and speaking—both require confidence and the ability to express one's true self. Julie draws parallels between performing opera and public speaking, advocating for embracing one’s unique voice.
