New York-based voice teacher, Gabriel Weiner, joins Melissa for a virtual cafecito to talk about what makes us unique as singers & teachers. 

Why do our origins stories matter? Why do we need to think about mental health as it relates to voice lessons? What's the fine line between inspiration and mimicry when we see & hear other artists? Gabriel helps us answer these questions and challenges us to think "outside" the vocal box.
