Living A Vocal Life: A Podcast For Singers
Welcome to the Living A Vocal Life Podcast:
Interviews with singers who have succeeded in creating a life in music.
Plus, solo podcast episodes for your inner singer, vocal artistry, health, and more.
Here you’ll find vocalists of all genres, in different stages of their careers, from singers on the Billboard charts to those teaching the next generation.
What do they have in common?
They’re all performers with amazing stories to tell and experiences to share.
In our conversations, you’ll learn what inspired them to become a singer, the challenges they’ve encountered, and how they’ve overcome them.
You’ll also hear what I’ve learned on my own journey as a singer and educator — practical tools and insights that I hope will help you in your own vocal life.
Thanks for listening!
