About the Author: Stefan Joubert

Stefan Joubert is the manager of London Singing Institute. He firmly believes that anyone can learn to sing, regardless of age, with the help of high-quality singing lessons

When we hear the word “singing,” the first thing that comes to mind is a beautiful voice, the right tone, and the smooth delivery of a song.

Many believe that the measure of a great singer is based solely on vocal quality.

But in reality, there are songs that we remember and listen to over and over again not because they are sung perfectly, but because they convey emotion.

Sometimes, even if we don’t hear technical excellence, we cry or smile.

Why is that? Because true singing is a form of storytelling—an art of sharing feelings, experiences, and messages from the heart.

Authentic Singing: Feeling Before Technique

Every song has a depth that cannot be expressed by mere notes.

While proper intonation and proper pronunciation are important, they are not enough to make a song meaningful.

True singing begins with feeling—with a heartfelt connection to the message of the song before it is even uttered.

Emotion is not just a decoration in music, it is its root.

When you understand and feel the song, it is given life.

You don’t need a powerful voice to touch the feelings of others; what is needed is honesty. Honesty with the message, with yourself, and with the listeners.

Being authentic in singing means opening yourself up to the experience—whether it is joyful or painful.

In every line of a song there is an opportunity to express feelings that cannot be expressed in ordinary language.

So instead of prioritising form, prioritise the essence.

Because in singing filled with emotion, that is where music begins that truly penetrates the heart.

Every Voice Has Purpose

Many believe that singing is only for the chosen few with extraordinary voices, that the stage is only for those with perfect voices.

But the truth is, every voice has a purpose. No voice is too small when it comes from the truth.

A simple voice, when used with care, can heal a wounded heart.

A song sung from emotion can be the prayer of a person who is losing hope.

So you don’t have to be famous for the world to hear your voice. Music is not just for applause; it is for compassion, understanding, and sharing.

The singer is not just an entertainer. He or she is a bearer of a message, a bringer of light in the darkness of emotions, and a spokesperson for hearts that cannot find a voice.

Every time you sing, you have the possibility of feeling and being felt by others. And in this world, that is a power that no trophy or fame can match.

So sing. Not just to be heard, but to give. Not just to show off, but to feel like someone understands.

Because every voice has a reason.

And when you use your voice with purpose, you become part of a larger story—a story that is heard more with the heart than with the ear.

Sing Not Just to Be Heard, but to Be Felt

Singing is not just the art of creating sound. It is a form of communication.

When you sing, you are telling a part of your being. Every breath, every utterance of a word, is part of the message you want to convey.

Don’t be content to just be heard. Don’t waste the opportunity to touch the hearts of others.

Every time you sing, ask yourself: What story do I want to share today?

The songs that truly touch us are those that we not only hear, but feel.

And the singers we will never forget are those who not only sing, but speak to our hearts.
