Vocal struggles don’t always show up in the high notes. For Michael, the hardest part of his voice wasn’t the top or bottom—it was the middle.

In this episode, we sit down with VoxTape student Michael Graetzer and his coach Emily for a raw, honest look at what it’s like to work through a vocal sticking point—specifically the passaggio.

We talk about:

• Why mid-range notes feel harder than they should
• How to explore your voice instead of forcing it
• What to do when you’re scared the audience will “notice” your weak spot
• How to focus on your strengths without ignoring your challenges

If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling with something that “should” be easy—Michael’s journey will remind you that progress is personal, and no one’s voice is perfect.
