Ep. 35 - "Overcoming a Vocal Injury" with Sondrine Bontemps

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. I'm so grateful for her generosity and openness, knowing we all need to be having these conversations out in the open more. We talk about de-catastrophizing and the work required to rediscover a healthy voice. So proud of this one...

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!
