Author: Sarah Toth - Voice Teacher, Opera Singer, Worship Leader, Vocal Coach, Mentor to Christian Women June 27, 2025 Duration: 18:16
Have you stopped singing for a while—and now you're not sure how to begin again? Maybe you’ve been through a big life change which has left you with no desire to sing. If opening your mouth feels vulnerable or discouraging, you’re not alone. In this episode, I share the honest first step to getting your voice back: giving yourself permission to sound “bad” at first. I walk you through the two stages of returning to your voice, offer encouragement from my own postpartum story, and remind you that starting small is still starting. If you’ve been waiting for a sign that it’s okay to begin again—this is it. Blessings, Sarah 🌟   //   RELATED EPISODES: 33.

Sarah Toth brings a lifetime of experience as a voice teacher, opera singer, and worship leader to The Heart of a Singer. This podcast speaks directly to Christian women who sing, whether in a choir, on a stage, or in a practice room, and who find themselves at a crossroads. The technical aspects of the craft are covered in depth-you’ll find practical guidance on vocal rehab, effective breathing technique, and structured warm-ups that protect your instrument. But the conversation always returns to the person behind the voice. Sarah understands the unique pressures faced by women in music and ministry, where personal struggles, bottled-up emotions, and spiritual distance can silently undermine both artistry and faith. Each episode is a blend of professional vocal coaching and heartfelt mentorship, exploring how to navigate the challenges of a musician’s life without losing your connection to purpose. It’s for those who feel an invitation to heal, not just their voice, but the deeper parts of their calling. You’ll hear honest talk about integrating technical skill with spiritual life, moving from a place of unrest to one of renewed confidence and grace. Tune in for singing lessons that go beyond the scales, addressing the whole life of a performer and worshipper.
