    Nutrition For Singers feat. Duncan Rock

    This episode is with Duncan Rock a nutritionist, registered exercise professional and member of the Royal Society for Public Health. We do a bit of "myth-busting" here. Does caffeine affect the voice in the way we've been told it does? Is there an ideal body weight for singers?  The effect of caffeine on the voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAjzQ46iimQ Duncan's Website: https://duncanrocknutrition.com/new-blog Duncan's IG: https://www.instagram.com/duncanrock_nutrition/ Let's Talk Singing IG: https://www.instagram.com/lets_talk_singing/

  6. How The Voice of Ireland Fudged Me

    How The Voice of Ireland Fudged Me

    Fear has stopped me from telling this story to people outside my friend circle for the last 8 years. And saying that, I don't even think a lot of my friends know this story. The fear of rockin the boat. Of stepping out of line. Of using an excuse to blame my singing career not 'taking off' are all thoughts I've had. But I realise now it's a story that I want people to know as it was a massive learning curve for me. Something that made me stronger. And something people who want to experiment with TV singing contests should know. My time on the Voice of Ireland was interesting, to say the least. An initial moment that should have been the start of something good was cut short because of the fine print.

  7. What is Straw Phonation? feat. Whitney Nichole

    What is Straw Phonation? feat. Whitney Nichole

    I've included straw phonation in my warm-up routine as many other singers have and it has changed the game for me. Coming from vocal rehabilitation, straw phonation promotes more efficient vocal fold closure and releases extra tension. I speak with Whitney Nichole who, in addition to being the Owner and CEO of Songbird Studios, is also the creator of the Singing / Straw, Chairperson of Vocology in Practice – ViP (a global network of the world’s leading voice professionals, including singing teachers, vocal coaches and voice professionals on the forefront of vocal health, science and pedagogy), and an active voting member of PAVA, the Pan American Vocology Association.
