Introducing ... The One boy with these TWO voices?

ONE Boy, TWO Voices! …. and they’re both mine!!

Hello everyone, I’m CORMAC THOMPSON, I’m 15 and I WAS a very successful ‘boy treble’ And since no one else was talking about it, this podcast is about my journey as a young singer experiencing that scary phase when our voice's take on a MIND OF THEIR OWN. 

One minute a boy soprano is soaring over the high notes, to the delight of many and the next... BANG! Your voice CRACKS louder than the school bell and you could give the neighbour’s cat a run for its’ money. 

But here's the thing because no-one’s talking about it! It's like we're all in this secret club of voice-breaking boys, silently suffering through the chaos while everyone else carries on like nothing's happening. Except of course for the keyboard warriors, sharing their pearls of wisdom on your YouTube videos about how ‘puberty will hit your career like a train’ or ‘you’ll have to kill yourself when your voice breaks cos you won’t be able to sing any more’ just charming, for sure.

So I wanted to help. In this podcast, we DO TALK about it, we NEED to talk about it. So many boys just stop singing and if we can reassure, even just some of them, that it’ll be ok, I’ll be happy. 

So, whether you're a boy and you sing, you’re the parent or the grand - parent or a teacher of a young boy singer or maybe you’re just curious to learn more about this, please JOIN me and Professor Martin Ashley (Author of 'How High Should Boys Sing' and 'Dead Composers and Living Boys') and my regular guests, as we embark on this daunting trek, navigating the highs, the lows, and everything in between. 

Thank you for listening and sharing : -)
