Brain Conversations is a place to help those who work with teaching others the nitty gritty of physical skills learn from others in fields they may never have thought about. Rehab professionals like physical, occupational, and speech therapists and assistants, as well as educators of all kinds, especially those in body related skill fields: music, Feldenkrais, Alexander, and dance. Podcast guests from many disciplines help us learn from their diverse backgrounds to help us all go to the next level of working with our patients and students, really using what we know about the brain to our advantage.

    002: Andrew Byrne - The Singing Athlete: Brain Based Training for Your Voice

    Andrew Byrne, the author of The Singing Athlete and a NYC based voice teacher, is on to discuss how he works with his voice students with brain focused training. We discuss starting from a place of safety as survival based organisms, the "threat bucket" analogy, motor and sensory representation with regard to the voice, assessing for each individual whether an exercise/drill is high-payoff, neutral, or rehab and how to use each one, and much more.   Andrew's bio: Andrew Byrne is an NYC-based singing teacher and author of #1 Best-Seller The Singing Athlete: Brain-Based Training for Your Voice. Andrew’s students have been seen in over 80 Broadway shows.   Andrew has served on creative teams for The Sundance Theatre Lab, Yale Repertory Theatre, North Shore Musical Theatre, and many others. On television, he has worked as a vocal coach for America’s Got Talent and Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (Showtime).   Twice named NYC’s favorite vocal coach in the Backstage Readers’ Choice Awards, Andrew travels the world to bring his brand of brain-focused training to singers across the globe. In 2016, he was appointed by the U.S. State Department as the first Arts Envoy to the nation of Belarus, where he led the inaugural Russian-language production of the Pulitzer-Prize-winning Next to Normal. Other international teaching assigments have taken him to Singapore, Switzerland, Denmark, France, China, and five times to Australia (Victorian College of the Arts). In North America, Andrew has enjoyed four teaching residencies in Canada (including The Banff Centre) and served as guest faculty for the University of Michigan musical theatre department. He has also been a guest clinician with organizations such at the Tanglewood Institute, Cornell University, and Ithaca College.  https://www.andrewmbyrne.com/ https://thesingingathlete.com/
