  • Classical v Musical Theatre part 2 - Advice, techniques and a rant

    Send us Fan Mail

    Gillyanne & Jeremy answer more questions about classical vocal technique versus musical theatre vocal technique.
    Which is best, should you teach either or both, what do you teach students at different ages?

    Great questions submitted from our listeners too:
    How can I make "So In Love" stop sounding like Puccini?
    Do you teach a 16 year old classical AND musical theatre or choose one?
    With a new young MT student do you focus on legit or belting?

    Gillyanne talks about her PhD research into different genres, and Jeremy has a gentle rant about style, why the notes between F4 and F5 are vital, and vibrato.

  • Classical versus Musical Theatre - which is healthiest to sing? Is there one vocal technique for both?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Voice experts Dr Gillyanne Kayes and Jeremy Fisher share their thoughts about classical versus musical theatre.
    Is there one technique that works for both?
    Is one inherently healthier to sing than the other?
    Should we be teaching different genres to young singers?

    We have comments and questions sent in by our This Is A Voice podcast listeners too - there are some strong opinions!

    We share our own backgrounds and talk about knowing yourself. And why recognising the "filters" through which you view the world is important.

    We describe how the knowledge of vocal function might bypass musical taste and expectation, and why we prefer to talk about different balances for different contexts.

  • Authenticity in singing & teaching CCM singers - with Dr Marisa Lee Naismith

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr Marisa Lee Naismith is back talking to Gillyanne & Jeremy, and we get a bit heated!

    • How to work with authenticity in singing and finding a student's "mode" (1.00). 
    • Our own reactions to witnessing authenticity in our classes (we're all different - 4.50)
    • Marisa takes us step by step through a lesson with a CCM (contemporary commercial music) singer plus what to listen for and what to ignore (9.25)
    • Why Jeremy thinks there's an expert on the song in the room (and it's not us - 13.20)
    • The thing that singing teachers may do in a CCM lesson that Marisa thinks there is no excuse for (16.28)
    • And why Jeremy thinks the music, performance and rules of teaching need to change when moving from teaching classical to contemporary commercial or contemporary musical theatre singers (17.25)

    It's a fascinating discussion between three expert vocal trainers - with insights, rants and laughs. 

    Not to be missed.

  • The reality of PhDs and vocal pedagogy with Dr Marisa Lee Naismith

    Send us Fan Mail

    Ever wondered what it's like to do a PhD in vocal pedagogy? Or how that PhD might translate into teaching singing?
    Want to know exactly why we think classical vocal training doesn't work for contemporary commercial music singers?

    We go deep with Dr Marisa Lee Naismith, author of Singing Contemporary Commercial Music Styles, a pedagogical framework:

    • How difficult is it to juggle the work of a PhD, family life and a full-time business? Marisa and Gillyanne compare notes (3.00)
    • Why is CCM pedagogy still not thought of as legitimate? Marisa gives us the background (9.00)
    • What is the single biggest difference between classical and CCM music, and therefore the biggest requirement for teaching CCM singers that classical teachers don't usually do? Jeremy shares his thoughts. (16.50)
    • Marisa prods Jeremy about bias - what's his answer? (18.30)
    • What is the 1% that Marisa is talking about, and what was the survey Gillyanne & Jeremy did that confirms it? (26.40)
    • And what IS the job of a singing teacher? Marisa reveals her take on what needs to happen in a singing lesson.


    It's a fascinating conversation, and this is just part 1!

  • Change your pitch, change your meaning. Vocal exercises from This Is A Voice book

    Send us Fan Mail

    Feed the dog!
     Changing your pitch patterns can help your listeners understand your emotions and meaning. In this week's This Is A Voice podcast (Season 6 Episode 12), expert vocal trainers Dr Gillyanne Kayes & Jeremy Fisher use the sentence "Feed the dog" to showcase different pitch patterns and meanings.
     
    We read out the instructions from the second half of exercise 26 (page 84 of This Is A Voice) and show you step by step how to change meaning, intonation and interest in your speaking voice.
     
    Jeremy reads out a paragraph of text with two very different pitch patterns (it's almost like singing), and Gillyanne shares a very simple exercise to help non-singers process their own spoken voice pitch patterns.
     
    Jeremy also demonstrates two different pitch patterns that can become irritating if repeated - the upward inflection and the creak down.
     
    There's a BRILLIANT exercise borrowed from UCL's phonetics department for speaking voice inflection that's very close to science fiction, and Jeremy demonstrates all four versions of the exercise to create four different emotional states.

  • What's your pitch pattern? Exercises from This Is A Voice & our Warmup App

    Send us Fan Mail

    No? Yes!
    What makes a voice more interesting to listen to? Tone? Volume?

    Pitch patterns help your listeners understand your emotions and meaning. In this episode, expert vocal trainers Dr Gillyanne Kayes and Jeremy Fisher riff on pitch patterns and meaning in speaking voice.

    Exercise 26 on page 84 of our This Is A Voice book is a brilliant vocal technique exercise for improving your speaking (and singing). We go step by step through the instructions and demonstrate how the exercise works in both male and female voice.

    Jeremy demonstrates monotonous voice, a very boring version of the test sentences. And both Gillyanne and Jeremy speak with extreme pitch changes, giving a totally different meaning to the same words.

    And we walk you through a pitching exercise in our One Minute Voice Warmup app too.

    It's a cracking episode, one of our best so far.

    If you want to discover how to increase your speaking range, improve your voice use and get your listeners more interested in what you're saying, tune in to this episode!

  • Coaching Austin Butler for Elvis & training teachers - Irene Bartlett returns

    Send us Fan Mail

    What does a movie musical vocal coach do?
    Singer and pedagogue Irene Bartlett is back to chat with vocal trainers Gillyanne & Jeremy about coaching Austin Butler to sing Elvis in the latest movie, and how she works with singing teachers in the Pedagogy Programme at Griffith University in Brisbane.

    What was the first thing Irene needed to do when meeting Austin (or any singer) for the first time? (3.00)
    What is she listening for when working with professional singers? (6.53)
    How do we know whether a singer has real tension or whether they're adding it "for effect"? (12.00)
    How do you teach singing teachers to become BETTER singing teachers? We're all in agreement, but on what? Jeremy clarifies (22.40)
    Why might "the 5 note scale" be a problematic exercise for singers? (24.00 and 25.40)

    It’s an honest conversation between vocal trainers separated by 10,000 miles but together in spirit.

    What is good singing? Singer and pedagogue Dr Irene Bartlett joins vocal trainers Gillyanne & Jeremy to talk about good singing, function and style.
    It’s an honest conversation between vocal trainers separated by 10,000 miles but together in spirit.

    • Is it divisive to separate classical, CCM and Musical Theatre music? Irene has a great one-sentence answer to this (2.40)
    • Is there a difference between classical singing lessons and musical theatre singing lessons? How do classical singers react to their first heavy metal, or newbies react to their first opera? It’s a fascinating part of the conversation about vocal technique, sound output, performing environment and genre.
    • What happens when you look at a spectrogram of a classical versus a contemporary singer? (5.36 onwards)
    • What do a lot of acoustically trained singers get wrong about working with a mic? (8.10)
    • And what does Irene do first in a singing lesson (that Gillyanne and Jeremy applaud her for)? (10.30)
    • Which “standard” MT vocal technique does Gillyanne think needs a flight correction? (11.19)
    • And why does Jeremy think your “vocal look” isn’t relevant in Musical Theatre but is relevant in CCM? (16.45)
