    Episode 46: The Art of Audiobook Narration with Talon David

    How does a producer and recording artist become the voice behind more than 140 audiobooks? In this episode of Sing, Coach, Conduct, I sit down with Talon David—a London- and Nashville-rooted singer, songwriter, and producer whose musical journey began before she could write full sentences. After discovering songwriting at fifteen, Talon found a powerful new language for expression. Since then, she has earned GRAMMY recognition, completed three diplomas, released three self-produced albums, and is preparing a double album project that continues to expand her artistic voice. But her path didn’t stop in the studio. Talon shares how she transitioned from musician to full-time audiobook narrator, bringing stories to life with the same nuance, discipline, and emotional depth she honed through music. We explore the parallels between songwriting and storytelling, the technical and artistic demands of narration, and what it takes to authentically inhabit someone else’s truth. She also reflects on narrating my memoir, Dissonance, and the unique responsibility of giving voice to a deeply personal story. This conversation is a powerful reminder that artistry is transferable—and that at its core, every form of performance is about communicating truth.

    Episode 45: Why Teachers Matter More Than Ever

    After several months away, Megan returns to Sing, Coach, Conduct with gratitude for listeners around the world and a reflection on the challenging times we’re living in. This episode centers on why educators—especially music teachers—play a vital role beyond technique and performance. From modeling healthy authority and clear boundaries to fostering safety, empathy, and resilience, teachers shape far more than musicians—they shape humans. A grounding reminder that your presence, integrity, and care leave a lasting impact, even when you can’t always see it.
