  • Ep. 39 - "Back-to-School Checklist" with David Sisco

    Remember getting a checklist from your teacher of things to bring on your first day of school? Well, on this episode of Wholehearted Pedagogy, we're going to consider what should be on the voice teacher's checklist as we head back into this new season of teaching.

  • Ep. 37 - "What We Can Learn from Dancers" with Seán Curran

    On this episode of Wholehearted Voice Pedagogy, I sit down with Director/Choreographer Seán Curran to explore the similarities and differences in how singers and dancers train—and what each discipline can learn from the other.This conversation grew out of an exploratory workshop of The Siren of the Drunken Boat, a new music theater work created by my colleague Michael Kelly and me under Seán's direction.

    It's a fascinating discussion about training, collaboration, and artistic practice that I think you'll really enjoy!

    On the next episode of Wholehearted Voice Pedagogy, Sondrine Bontemps shares her experience of what precipitated her experiencing a vocal injury and how she overcame it.

  • Ep. 34 - "One Year in the Rearview Mirror, Part II" with Andrea Bush & Julia Ortiz-Luis

    On this episode of the podcast, I continue my conversation with recent graduates of NYU Steinhardt, talking about what their first year out of school has been like for them. Here, I speak with Julia Ortiz-Luis and Andrea Bush, both of whom graduated with a MM in Vocal Performance (Musical Theatre) and an Advanced Certificate in Vocal Pedagogy. Talking to them was such a great reminder to me of how our students—who often have boots on the ground in a different way than we do—can continue to teach us. Enjoy!
