A lot of musical theater singers we know get  overwhelmed and confused with rock pop music. Maybe you've been told that you sound a little too musical theater when you've tried singing rock pop music and you don't know how to fix it. Or maybe you've just heard a lot of conflicting advice! So, as someone who's actually worked on a lot of pop rock musicals, I'm here to dispel some myths and hopefully make the style feel a little less intimidating and a lot more fun to try.

"We think we know emotion because we are playing other characters, but most of the people I work with aren't actually that tuned into their own emotional body. Imagine how this will affect our art, the more we can come into our body and feel our own feelings and our own intuition and our own guidance and then bring that into our art."

"When you self accept that you are where you need to be, and that the space you are taking up is rightfully yours, then you get that sense of knowing, of belonging. It's not by somebody's approval. No, it's by your own." - Kristin on the BVC Podcast.

Kristin Chenoweth is an Emmy and Tony award winning actress, singer, and author. And let's be real, she hardly needs an introduction from us! This interview offers a glimpse into Kristin's inspiring heart and soul. In addition to her life, career, and what she wants to leave as her legacy, we discuss her recent books: the compilation coffee table book "My Moment," her book of mini-meditations, "I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts," and her delightful children's book "What Will I Do With My Love Today?"

Shina auditioned eight times for what would become her Broadway debut, the 2009 revival of West Side Story.  Since then she's gone on to perform in a total of eight (soon to be nine!) Broadway shows, as she's currently in rehearsals for the revival of Spamalot. As a consummate triple threat, Shina knows what it's like to work hard as a performer. And now as a new mom, Shina is sharing with us how the transition to parenthood has been for her, how she and her husband came to the decision to start a family, and what getting back into the rehearsal room has been like while navigating motherhood, marriage, and her career. For all the parents out there, we salute you! This conversation is for you.
