Contending with Your Inner Critic with Classical Singer Dan Taylor | Episode 42

May 23

My guest this week is Dan Taylor, a Classical Singer who has performed in a wide variety of groups, from Opera Philadelphia to The Crossing, a Grammy award-winning choral group. Together we cover a fun range of topics, from the intricacies of opera singing to tabletop gaming. We also discuss how challenging creative work can be, especially when that voice inside your head keeps reciting that endless stream of self-doubt. Dan shares his methods on combating those thoughts, including impostor syndrome.
