Classical Voice Canada podcasts will feature a new Classical Vocal artist each week, wherein we will discuss their favourite Classical genre(s), experiences, and career trajectories, and listen to one of their recordings. The recordings may be professionally done, or may be done as semi-professional or home-based recordings, as is the new norm we have gravitated to due to COVID-19. We hope that Classical Voice Canada will introduce you to new artists that you should be watching for in the future! 

Denne podcast er gratis at lytte på alle podcastafspillere og Podimo-appen uden abonnement.

Jennifer Taverner is a Toronto born and raised Soprano who comes from a family of musicians.   She was educated at Laurier University and also at the Glenn Gould School, in addition to which she has become a Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner.    Jennifer enjoys a wonderful career as a singer, and also works as a consultant who can help other singers (and anyone who would like to work with her!) with issues arising from digestion that may cause problems with vocal delivery.  We chat today about her musical beginnings, and a few of her mentors and teachers ~ Ann Cooper Gay, Victor Martens, and Stephanie Bogle, to name a few!   Jennifer also takes time to speak to us about the many concerns of a singer when it comes to diet and performance, and we hope that some of her pointers may be of help to you.  You can reach out to Jennifer at High Note Health (www.highnotehealth.ca) and also, please do follow her on Instagram and Facebook!   Her posts are informative and delightful!

Episode 15 with Guest Madison Ryley Arsenault

For the second episode in our Wellness Series, I am so pleased to introduce Madison Ryley Arsenault to you!  A classically trained Mezzo-Soprano, Madison is also a certified Yoga instructor, and she has found a way to tie together her knowledge of singing and the physiology of the voice, with that of the movement, stretching, and focus that yoga can bring us. Join us today as we chat about Madison's education at Western University, her musical background and some of her performances, as well as her journey toward becoming a Yogi.   This Virgo likes structure, and she certainly found it when she visited a school in India where Yoga first began. Through the 10 Principles of Yogic philosophy, Madison shares her knowledge with kindness and support, when she coaches her clients toward Vocal Empowerment. We hope you will enjoy this episode and that it will perhaps inspire you to explore yourself more deeply, and to let out a liberating, soulful sound.  You have permission!

Episode 14 with Alison Jane Taylor, Soprano & Alexander Technique Teacher

Welcome to our 14th Episode!  This is the first in our Wellness Series and I am delighted to introduce you to Alison Jane Taylor, an Alexander Technique expert and a Supervised Student of Gestalt Therapy, as well as a wonderful singer and artist! We get into some details about what it means to understand what is happening inside and outside of our bodies when we sing, (or play our instruments) maintaining a healthy posture, and mindset!   Alison is a very gentle soul, her presence is soothing and encouraging.  She is a wonderful example of a singer finding ways to help other singers, with absolute purity of heart. Alison is able to find supportive words and ways to help us ~ "My tools are my own compassion and experience".  We talk about the demands of being a musician, that expectation of perfection and what we can do with it, and ways in which she has helped people move from a place of fear or anxiety to a place of confidence.  After all, if we have such wonderful gifts to share, what are we so afraid of?! Join us today on this first step into the journey of exploring our inner selves and finding ways to associate our essence with our artistry.

Episode 13: Introduction to The Wellness Series

This short podcast is an introduction to the upcoming series of discussions that I will be having with various experts and practitioners in the area of vocal health.  I'll speak to an Alexander Technique expert and someone who is studying Gestalt Therapy, (Alison Jane Taylor) to a yoga enthusiast who built a business around Yoga for Singers, (Madison Ryley Arsenault/Yogapella), a Nutrition expert  (Jennifer Taverner), and a Life Coach and Counsellor, (Paula Wickberg)   What do they have in common?  They are ALL singers.   They have all found a way to become educated in specific ways and to share with other singers, for our health and well-being. I hope you will join us as we embark on this journey of discovery and help for any singer who may need it.

Episode 12 with Guest Lyndsay Promane, Mezzo Soprano

Lyndsay Promane is from the Town of Aurora, just a bit North of the big city.  A High Lyric Mezzo Soprano, she grew up in a very musical family and found her way quite circuitously to the world of classical voice ~ but once she did, she fit in perfectly!   After graduating from U of T with a Bachelor's Degree in Music and then attending Opera School, Lyndsay has been very busy with her craft, and is an established performer of Art Song, Contemporary Music, Oratorio, and Opera.   She takes us through her early days as a student, shares some tidbits about wonderful Masterclasses & Workshops she's attended, tells us about mentors who have influenced her, and describes her own path toward teaching and mentorship.   Having performed in two operas now, with the COC Chorus, Lyndsay shares a few of those highlights with us as well. She knows that 'life is not going to stop and wait for you' and is excited to be undertaking something new in a mentoring role, speaking to & workshopping with young singers this coming year with her suggestions for bringing variety to one's professional profile.  In addition to this, she is a mentor with Opera in Reach, a group that is striving to make a difference in the opera world, in terms of inclusivity and accessibility.   Lyndsay feels it is so important to be able to "speak about racial and civic justice in way that is eloquent and respectful, and accurate", and Opera in Reach is certainly achieving this. Her favourite book?  Well, you'll have to listen to find out... and you'll just have to agree that she is not bossy at all, but rather, a very articulate and intelligent person!   And when you hear her warm voice singing a heavenly Mahler piece, you will agree, that her voice certainly matches her thoughtful and engaging personality.   Lyndsay has brought us Mahler's "Urlicht", accompanied by pianist Rachael Kerr.  Lyndsay will be performing with The Linden Project on October 24th, a collaboration with Jeremy Ludwig, along with pianist Erica Reiman.     Don't miss SPIRITS, HAGS and HEXES at 8:15pm on the 24th.   You can find it on Facebook on the Linden Project's page!  Boo!

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.
Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
