The Irish Institute of Music & Song (IIMS) podcast hosts conversations with performers, academics and educators from all over the world. The podcast is curated by Dónal Kearney in Dublin, Ireland.   In the Song Series, we talk to songwriters, singers and song-lovers.   In episode 31, we speak to Eimear McCarthy Luddy.   Eimear McCarthy Luddy is an Irish mezzo-soprano, singing teacher, and NCVS-trained Vocologist. She is the first person in Ireland to have completed this advanced voice science training at the National Centre for Voice and Speech in Salt Lake City.   In this episode Eimear chats to Michael & Dónal about vocology. They discuss its definition, its origin, its uses and much more!   If you have any interest in singing or vocal science, this is an episode not to be missed!
