Meredith Colby turns neuroscience into studio technique: interoception, motor memory and neuroplasticity, taught through exercises you do in the room.

Meredith Colby opens with a short primer on neurodidactics, teaching with the brain in mind, then unpacks the three systems driving vocal learning: interoception, motor memory, and neuroplasticity. You don't just listen, you do it. The toothbrush exercise exposes how motor memory hides in plain sight. A guided hum on M and then N walks the whole room into a deliberate interoceptive experience. Colby then coaches a volunteer through "bratty" versus "pretty" sound, showing how to bypass a singer's existing habits with questions instead of corrections. Extended Q&A covers performance nerves, apathetic teenagers, sensory sensitivity, and her five-second intend-phonate-assess practice you can assign tomorrow.
