Vernon Jane’s new single ‘Get Bettr’ due for release on October 18 th to coincide with their support tour with Bicurious in Bristol, Cork and Dublin. We also feature Brighton alumni CLT DRP’s single ‘Until You Showed Me’ ahead of their October/November tour supporting Bob Vylan; ‘Acrylic Fences’ by Dublin alumni Bicurious from their highly anticipated second album ‘Your Life is Over Now’ released on 4th October 2024 via Big Scary Monsters; ‘Hi’ from BIMM Birmingham’s outgoing 3 rd years Eighty Eight Mile whose lead singer is Ellie Grice; and recently released debut single ‘Hungary’ by BIMM Manchester act BETS.
We have a BIMM Brighton graduate as this episode’s resident tipster. Rosie Finn who is the Label Operations Coordinator at Universal lays down some music industry knowledge with her top three tips
right now. We feature an interview with BIMM Dublin lecturer Shelley Bukspan acting as Head of Vocals for much of her time since the college opened. Shelley is also a vocal coach at The Gaiety School of Acting and a mentor at Minding Creative Minds and is songwriter/performing artist with numerous artistic collaborations. Most recently she worked as vocal coach on location in Ireland on the new
Joshua Oppenheimer directed musical ‘The End’ that premiered at The Toronto Film Festival on September 6th. Shelley worked closely coaching the whole cast: Tilda Swinton, Michael Shannon,
Moses Ingram, George MacKay, Bronagh Gallagher, Lennie James, Tim McInnerney and Danielle Ryan, with music by Marius De Vries and Josh Schmidt. Toshín and Shelley discuss the job of a film vocal coach and how to prep actors for filming, and the job of the vocal coach during filming; the working relationships between key people in the music department; how coaching actors differs for stage, film, and live performances; people in your professional network, your reputation and how that leads to opportunities. And we were pleased to learn that Eric Walsh (BIMM Dublin graduate) also worked on the movie!
