The Voice Culture episodes
- Messa di voce - the ultimate vocal exerciseJustin and Brian discuss the historical importance, and continuing relevance, of this basic exercise. In its many permutations it helps singers to improve and maintain vocal ability in the areas of expression, pitch, breath control, endurance, and flexibility. It's that good!

46 min - An Ideal Curriculum for Singers?
What would the ideal non-academic vocal curriculum look like? Brian and Justin explore just such an idea in this episode. Based on the work of British pedagogue Peter T. Harrison, a vocal training program would include much that remains outside the scope of the present academic model. Taken from Harrison's 2013 book, "Singing: Personal and performance values in training" another way of considering voice training is discussed for the modern voice student and independent voice trainer.
Harrison's books:
Singing: Personal and performance values in training
The Human Nature of the Singing Voice.

52 min - Voice in higher education?
Both Brian and Justin have prepared a lot of students for college and conservatory auditions. But what are these young people getting into? Is a performing arts degree a vocational program? Does it prepare students for professional performance? Should it? What are the differences between a BM in vocal performance and a BFA in Musical Theatre?
We have also had many students who are in these programs, or recently graduated, who are still trying to figure out their voices. How does a young singer get a degree in voice but still have major gaps in their ability to get work in the field? Getting post-secondary voice programs to both fit into a university degree and thoroughly train young singers is a huge task that often falls short. How can it be improved?

42 min - Dogma in the Voice Teaching ProfessionJustin and Brian begin their discussion with the rise of dogmatic thinking in voice teaching in the 19th century, how it became various "methods", and how it can hinder learning and innovation. The "Old Italian School" was not based on a method, although many current teachers advertise that they teach old Italian methods. How does the rise of science and the Information Age allow dogmatic thinking to continue? What does teaching and learning look like with more open attitudes to how to teach principles and actions of good singing?

1 hr 4 min - Vibrato - W-w-w-w-what? Ep. 16In this lively episode, Brian and Justin chat about vibrato in the singing voice. What is the vibrato’s relationship to pitch, and what is the role of the vibrato in singing styles? Examples are included of professional singers and their approach in varying styles. Artists of all stripes are included so that vibrato can be heard in varying musical languages. Being able to hear many singers gives the listener a way to understand how vibrato is present (or not) in varying musics. It can provide food for thought on hearing vibrato and how it is used in great singing across genres.
