In this week’s episode, I sit down with Aaron Walpole. Aaron Walpole is a Canadian actor, singer, and musician who has worked throughout North America including the Stratford Festival, Les Miserables on Broadway, as well as the National Tour of Kinky Boots. In our conversation today we discuss his experiences growing up singing a wide variety of styles and how that has translated into his vocal technique as an adult, his experiences in theatre school and the advice he would give to any student going into a post-secondary institution, as well as some of his first experiences in the industry and the importance of staying grounded in who you are as a person. We also discuss his experiences working at the Stratford Festival as well as on Broadway, the importance of building a strong support system around you and allowing family to always come first, as well as the important conversations that need to be had in the industry and where he sees theatre in Canada headed in the future.
