Natalie Lerch

Show Notes Every Sing episode 009 Dr. Natalie Lerch on Horseback Riding and Singing   Dr. Natalie Lerch, Voice Department at Cornish College of the Arts and avid horsewoman - or as she likes to call herself - Diva Cowgirl, talks about the correlation between singing and riding horses.  Mocha, Natalie's horse, is a 22-year-old paint. She's had him for 7 years and he has a fabulous sense of humor.    Like an audience, the horse wants to have a fun, easy experience. Natalie learned to control her nerves on Mocha, calming herself down, and she found a complete shift in his personality. The singer’s experience can be much like this.   Dr. Lerch has noticed in her horseback riding lessons, her teacher often says, "Don't forget to breathe." Just as she tells her students. Breathing in and for the song is similar.   Singers have to prepare their posture to move, to not be rigid or schlumpy.  The kind of posture she works on with the horse is to feel like your hips want to stay with the horse, your waste is a slinky, and your upper torso wants to float above that.   Energy and preparation - You can't just yell "Go" to get a horse going. There has to be some preparation just as in singing. Learning to physically release into the energy of the high note is like releasing into a jump.   Horseback riding makes Natalie more flexible as a singer and a teacher -  mentally, physically, and emotionally. And to be more forgiving of herself.   Singers and cowgirls need to acknowledge their emotions and deal with them in order to have a successful experience.   "Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway."   Try something new.    Make sure that your life is balanced. Sometimes we want something so badly but get in our own way because we don't take the time to step back and let it percolate.   NatalieLerch.com     Every Sing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/   Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy's website: NancyBos.netTeadorabeauty.com  Our favorite Teadora products around my house are the beauty butter, Brazilian glow radiance oil, and the sugar scrub mask.

ES09 What Does Horseback Riding have to do with Singing w/ Natalie Lerch

Marieke Schuurs

006 Every Sing: Marieke Schuurs on Body Mapping and Alexander Technique   Marieke started to consider Alexander Technique and Body Mapping after attending the Voice Care Network in Minnesota in the 1990’s. After, she started working with Barbara Connable on Body Mapping.   Cathey Madden - Seattle Alexander Teacher, UW Drama dept.   Certification in Body Mapping from Andover Educators and is a certified Alexander Technique Teacher from Alexander Technique International   At the beginning the teacher has to build a bridge from the student’s understanding to what Body Mapping can teach   The Fundamental tenant of Alexander is that you have an overall use of yourself, it might be really good, really poor, or somewhere in-between, from things that you do, or habitual postures. If your general use is poor, it effects everything you do and everything you do is more arduous, more labored and puts pressure on the joints. So the more you can bring somebody into easier, smoother coordination then everything they do becomes more fluid. Improve the core use and then everything else gets effect after that.   In improving physical technique, unpack the habit (what are the little steps).  The word “singing” becomes  the trigger for the habit. On a neuro-physical level, as soon as they think of singing their system goes into a whole system of neurological responses. Our body’s do that all the time. The habits start so fast that sometimes it can’t be stopped.  To teach a singer to be aware of the moment before they start, ask them to think about singing but don’t start, then do it again, and again, and notice the habits. It gives them the opportunity to stop the habit and create new ones.   When you are moving well according to your structural-muscular design, then the quality of your movement becomes easier, lighter, and more fluid.    Marieke’s website:  http://www.cantarevoicestudio.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cantarevoicestudio/     Every Sing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/   Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy's website: NancyBos.net    Teadora beauty.com  Our favorite Teadora products around my house are the beauty butter, Brazilian glow radiance oil, and the sugar scrub mask.

After, she started working with Barbara Connable on Body Mapping.   Cathey Madden - Seattle Alexander Teacher, UW Drama dept.   Certification in Body Mapping from Andover Educators and is a certified Alexander Technique Teacher from Alexander Technique International   At the beginning the teacher has to build a bridge from the student’s understanding to what Body Mapping can teach   The Fundamental tenant of Alexander is that you have an overall use of yourself, it might be really good, really poor, or somewhere in-between, from things that you do, or habitual postures. If your general use is poor, it effects everything you do and everything you do is more arduous, more labored and puts pressure on the joints. So the more you can bring somebody into easier, smoother coordination then everything they do becomes more fluid. Improve the core use and then everything else gets effect after that.   In improving physical technique, unpack the habit (what are the little steps).  The word “singing” becomes  the trigger for the habit. On a neuro-physical level, as soon as they think of singing their system goes into a whole system of neurological responses. Our body’s do that all the time. The habits start so fast that sometimes it can’t be stopped.  To teach a singer to be aware of the moment before they start, ask them to think about singing but don’t start, then do it again, and again, and notice the habits. It gives them the opportunity to stop the habit and create new ones.   When you are moving well according to your structural-muscular design, then the quality of your movement becomes easier, lighter, and more fluid.    Marieke’s website:  <a href="http://www.cantarevoicestudio.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.cantarevoicestudio.com</a>   Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cantarevoicestudio/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/cantarevoicestudio/</a>   Every Sing on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/</a>   Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy's website: <a href="http://NancyBos.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NancyBos.net</a>   Teadora <a href="http://beauty.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beauty.com</a>  Our favorite Teadora products around my house are the beauty butter, Brazilian glow radiance oil, and the sugar scrub mask.

006 Every Sing: Marieke Schuurs on Body Mapping and Alexander Technique

Healing  and  pain; creating healing or pain through our music choices and environments.  The guests are two singers from my studio. They came down the Den of Technology to talk about how singing can bring healing and perhaps happiness. James Booth, student at Seattle Central College, and Allison Wilner Martin, in her gap year after high school and working for a law firm. Singing, the most personal of all vocal expression, has always been tied to pain. Singing can help with healing or it can cause more pain. A singer cannot lie - a singer must believe what they are singing, at least for that moment, or we will know and realize they are a fraud.  And our actions, as people building our lives around singing, have this same power - to make the most personal of all vocal expressions an instrument of pain or an instrument of healing. This is so commonly understood that I hardly think I need to give examples, but for the sake of context I’ll give a few. And I’ll try to make them not too personal, because I don’t want to cause pain here - I want to bring awareness to the power we hold as musicians. About that power, the ancient greeks totally understood. In Greek mythology, Nine Muses were the nine daughters of Zeus .The individual muses have had various names and incarnations over the centuries and their very name, Muse, is the source of our English word, Music. According to the website owlcation.com The Muses are minor goddesses of the Greek pantheon. They are the personification of literary arts, music, visual arts and science. We all have that spark of a Muse within us to aid in our creative endeavors. The muses all have different jobs in music. Here are a few of them: Polyhymnia is the protector of divine hymns. She created geometry and grammar. She wears a veil as she looks up to the Heavens. Melpomene is the protector of the Tragedies. She created rhetoric speech and the melodies of tragedy. She holds a theatrical tragedy mask. Euterpe is the protector of song and poetry of death, love, and war. She created several musical instruments and inspires beautiful music. She holds a flute with her other instruments surrounding her. Erato is the protector of lyrical and love poetry. She holds a lyre and love arrows with a bow. Clio is the protector of history and the guitar, the heroic arts. Clio holds a clarion in her right arm and a book in her left hand. Calliope is the superior Muse. She inspired Homer as he wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey. She accompanied kings and princes to help them impose justice and serenity. Calliope is the protector of poetic works, the rhetoric arts, music and writing. Calliope holds laurels in one hand and two Homeric poems in the other.  Since then, since the muses, have leaders and academics understood the power? You be they have. Think of the tribal, bringing-together power of national anthems and battle songs.  Think of the songs used for forced labor, like those covered in Negro Work Songs and Calls. By Botkin and Lomax-1943 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx_OOivYYo8. It makes my stomach turn. Songs have been used as weapons - Saul Williams in his NPR post Songs As Weapons, talks about Fela Kuti his music was his message as he defiantly proclaimed that "music is the weapon of the future." One of his songs was written in direct response to the loss of his mother, who died of complications after the Nigerian Army raided his compound. Fela Kuti marched his mother's coffin to the Head of State, placing it on his doorstep, while his band played this processional. The Star Spangled Banner The Essential Jimi Hendrix is well understood as a protest song meant to shoot a spear into the heart of the United States, for excellent reason. The country was a MESS. For this song, Hendrix guitar does the singing. Songs have been used to spurn a former lover. They have been used to wound someone who has wounded the singer. Singing has been used to point out a pain that has been caused with the intention of causing another pain. Have you heard Sound of Silence as interpreted by Disturbed? That is the very definition of pain. And in that vein, there are entire genres of popular music devoted to pain. Singing is very, very effective at causing pain. In a recent episodes of Every Sing, it has come to light that the world around singing is also a vehicle for pain. Among other powerful examples from people I have interviewed for this show, Sheila Houlahan, in episode 29, talked about two deep singing induced injuries. First was the evil competition brought out in her undergrad experience. People using music to justify their terrible intentions. Second was the pain caused by ignorance - an opera company who created disrespectful charactures of the Indian culture in their production - the equivalent to Sheila of black-face performances. Ya know, my heart is racing while I talk to you about this. This so deep, so personal, and so important. The idea that singing has been used to cause pain in people I love, like Sheila, makes me sick.  But there is more pain being caused every day around singing. Just today I heard a young man in a singing contest who’s every song was full of anger and pain. His songs were from the musicals Jeckly and Hide, Assassins, Oliver! and Oklahoma. What pain is in this young man that he has to relish in evil for every song he sings! And what pain are we potentially causing when we pick venues for our events; does the venue hosting you welcome everyone in your group? People with physical handicaps, moral objections, or other cultural differences?  Is your event being held in a place where your LGBTQ singers might be preached against? Do your singers feel safe, not from others wielding guns, but from the words that can do so much damage and haunt them in the night? What pain was caused, historically, when black singers had to use the back door to enter a venue where they were entertaining a white audience? What confusion is happening for your muslim or atheist singers when you book a church as your performance venue? And what pain is being caused to the singers who are forced to step foot on an alt-right campus for a singing celebration for the sake of their teachers. And what about the Grammy’s - run by the Recording Academy of which I am a member. They seem to have learned nothing from the MeToo movement, Recording Academy President Neil Portnow almost immediately made things worse after this year’s male dominated Grammys. He responded  by urging women to "step up." In response to him, recording artist Pink posted on Twitter. "Women in music don't need to 'step up' – women have been stepping since the beginning of time," "Stepping up, and also stepping aside. Women owned music this year. They've been killing it. And every year before this." So where does this leave us - you and me. Look closely - hold yourself accountable to the highest standard. Be vigilant. Be unrelenting. Err on the side of love. In the words of Cara Transtrom, see and understand better so that you can do better. "We are all artists and music connects us as spiritual beings, transcending all this crap the world would use to divide us.” Patti Haak Barrow

In Every Sing I talk to people who devote their lives to singers and singing, from the performers themselves to anyone who works behind the scenes in singing related fields. In Every Sing, we explore a wide variety of career options and passions. If you are looking for a way to make a career around singing, or to find inspiration for your own journey, you will find it here.  If you are new to this podcast, check out the back episodes. You’ll find interviews with famous singers, giants in the field of voice science and voice pedagogy, a peak performance coach, audio engineer, event producer and more.  And today’s episode is a lot different than others. Today I am going solo talking about lessons learned from the amazing people I’ve gotten to talk with in the first 30 episodes of Every Sing, combined with my own perspective on careers around singing.   First I want to give a shout out to my listeners around the world! You probably guessed I’m in the US - or maybe I’ve made it obvious that I’m in Seattle. There are hundreds of listeners in the Us and there are dozens of listeners in Canada. But I want to give shout out to the listeners in the places I didn’t expect; Chile, Peru, Ghana, South Africa, Ireland, Sweden, Bulgaria, Austria, the UAE, Iran!, China, Bangladesh, Cambodia, South Korea, Plus there’s more I’m not naming! and New Zeland. New Zeland! You have an especially strong presence!  Thanks for finding me!   If you have Facebook in your country, please connect with me there through Every Sing Podcast. If not, email me at nancy@studiobos.com   Finally, before I get started on this episode, there is one listener I want to call out - who ever is listening in Hunedoara, Romania, I’m excited! I will be in Sibiu, Romania in September and I would LOVE to connect.    If anyone else wants to connect - especially if you want me to travel to your place - I’m all ears! I love to travel, to share my passion for this field, and I’m a really human who loves to connect with other real humans!    Alright, lets get started on this topic.    I want to talk to you about singing, singing related careers, and a mindset for singers.    Coming from a place of being a singer who’s personality type does not fit the goals and requirements of living the life of a performer   Coming from a place of teaching hundreds of people who loved to sing and didn’t know where their place is in singing   Coming from a place of watching a gen  eration of my students go from hopeful, would-be professional singers as teen agers, to sometimes completely disparate careers, and sometimes professional careers.   Coming from a place of a podcaster who is talking to other singers about their careers.   About singing, the first question is, what’s the point - why do we sing and what do we expect will happen when we sing.   About singing related careers - this is where my curiosity is leading me these days. For this section, I reference my book, The Teen Girl’s Singing Guide, available on Amazon.   And finally, a mindset for singers   I want to share so fun news - I was accepted as a member of the recording academy today. That’s the group that hosts the Grammy’s. But even more than that, they support education, especially careers for musicians. So you can imagine, I’m pretty excited about how I can contribute to the work they are doing.   Thank you so much for joining me. I’m always available to talk about issues that come up in the podcast. You can find me on Linked In, Twitter, and reluctantly, on Instagram.  Facebook is a great place for us to talk - look for the Every Sing podcast.     Join the Every Sing podcast group on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/     Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy’s website: NancyBos.net    Support this podcast through a small monthly donation and receive great rewards at https://www.patreon.com/everysing     Podcast Cover Art by Ken Feisel at kenfeiseldesign.com

ES031 What Is Your Place in Singing w/ Nancy Bos

Ken Stringfellow

Every Sing Episode #5, a conversation with Ken Stringfellow   Ken Stringfellow is a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, arranger, and producer. He his famous for the band he started with his good friend, Jon Auer, The Posies. He has also toured with R.E.M., and the re-formed Big Star. Ken has been involved with more than 200 albums.   I got to catch up with Ken in Washington state. He spent many of his growing up years in Bellingham, WA and returns to the Seattle area frequently to give concerts on his old home turf. But, Ken spends most of his time performing and being with his family in Europe. He is truly a musician of the world, as you’ll hear in this conversation.    Ken says that his path through the music enterprise is building relationships with his audience, other musicians, and people in the music business. He thinks of himself as making music and making connections. This humanizes it and gives it scale for him. He considers this his path to sanity, and avoids thinking of it as a business or the music industry.   Despite the size of the venues or projects, it still comes down to personal relationships.   The thing Ken likes the most are performances that are the simplest and the most pure. He likes shows that are small and special.   He loves the intense energy that can happen when he is walking around with his guitar but no mic among the audience.    Ken says music production is great because it brings new people to his life.   Growth and vulnerability are constants throughout Ken's career. He enjoys putting himself into situations where he doesn't now exactly what he's getting into.   Ken considers himself a singer first and foremost. In the music he looks for places to put out intense blasts from a deep place to have an impact on the audience. He says, "You get in to people's emotions by catching them off-guard."   Ken's upcoming project is a tour with Mercury Rev, called Tears of Silver. Tickets are at https://www.tearsofsilver.space   Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram @kenstringfellow http://kenstringfellow.com    Every Sing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/   Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy's website: NancyBos.net     Teadora beauty.com  Our favorite Teadora products around my house are the beauty butter, Brazilian glow radiance oil, and the sugar scrub mask.

A soulful entertainer, speaker, poet, and teacher, Tom tours widely and has released seven albums and a book of poems.   Tom says: We are drawn to things that move us, and from a really early age I just loved music.   Tom started out as a singer in high school, but as soon as he learned three chords on the guitar he started writing songs and they just poured out.   Lately, Tom feels like he is a writer first. He's been thinking about things to write that don't involved performing, including his memoir.   At some point his drive shifted from performing and making money to sharing and building community.    Tom's goal for the songs he writes is that they help people calm down, warm up, relax, and their breath changes.   Tom didn't have any formal training and learned from copying others until he developed his own style. In the process he learned that he needed to stop trying so hard - to just sing and be present.    "Our job in life is to show up. Listen and share.” Tom Kimmel    www.tomkimmel.com    Every Sing Podcast Page: nancybos.net/podcast/ Every Sing Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/    Teadora - the show sponsor - at Teadorabeauty.com with discount code "everysing" for 25% off.

Nathan Young

Every Sing episode 008 Nathan Young - What Feeds My Soul Nathan has music directed for many of the theaters in the Puget Sound area as well as cabaret and solo shows. He is also the choir director at Sammamish Presbyterian Church. Nathan enjoys being a clinician for choirs, along with directing, arranging, and producing for singers and instrumentalists. You will find his Living Room Concerts videos on his Facebook page, linked at the end of the notes.   Quotes from Nathan "My passion is ensemble. There's nothing more powerful than people singing together as a group. It actually has the power to change lives and heal souls and relationships in ways that just mere words can't.  There is something about singing together that does that. And singing together in perfect balance and harmony is something I can't live without.” "As a director, sometimes I'm a traffic light."   "In a church choir I'm trying to find what inspires each person to be there."    "If you come with the right attitude and are willing to try anything, I will give you the tools to do it."   "Three quarters of what I do is people relation, no matter what it is. It's finding out how to gain somebodies trust and give them direction. How do you come with not only your talent and what you can bring to them, but the humility you need to be in that environment."   "We are all bound up by our insecurities."   The take-away: Always give the "why" first. Why are we doing this exercise, song,... Once we know the why "the," "how" falls into place.   Nathan is working to voice teacher, Ann Evans of the University of Michigan, to create an online resource for choosing songs for music theater and eventually opera.   Nathan’s Facebook Page - https://www.facebook.com/youngnl   Every Sing Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everysing   Every Sing Podcast Page: nancybos.net/podcast/ Every Sing Facebook Group: www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/  Teadora - the show sponsor - at Teadorabeauty.com with discount code "everysing" for 25% off.

ES032 The Wanz Grammy Award Winning Performer

Adriana Giordano

Adriana Giordano, Brazilian Vocalist and Producer Making Space to Get Lost in the Music   Adriana’s life growing up was filled with music from her father’s country, Uruguay, her mother’s country, Italy, and the country she was born and raised in, Brazil. She was immersed in dance for her youth and didn’t pick up singing until later in life.   Her first exposure to singing was through a choir, then a rock garage band, and then an improve garage band. She sand with Abrace, http://seanet.com/~jyarrow/, an all female a cappella group for a time.    One of the highlights of singing for Adriana is when she is “lost in the music;” transported to a place away from the present during improvisational singing. She feels like she found her way back into her passion again in 2010 and began singing professionally in 2011.    She realized there is space for Brazilian music - there is a need for something different, including Brazilian jazz, contemporary music, and other styles.   She sings with Encanto http://www.encantobrazil.com, a multi-ethnic, female-led seven-piece, world pop music group — a combination forró, samba, and choro-inspired originals and reimagined covers of classic Brazilian hits.   She has learned that the voice either needs to be in front or in the middle, but never underneath. With Brazilian music, the lyrics describe the challenges of life, so story telling is just as important as the rhythm of dance. It’s not about the loudness.   Adriana produces a Latin/Brazilian/Caribbean festival in Seattle.  The Seattle Latin, Brazilian, &amp; Caribbean Festival is held at the Royal Room each July. http://theroyalroomseattle.com  Look for the Facebook page.   Adriana defines “Latin” in that sometimes Brazilians feel they are not Latinos - that they are “other.” But because of the language roots in the Latin languages, the rest of the world does view them at Latino.     Looking forward, Adriana feels like it is time to focus on her own career and voice. She wants to improve her breathing and take care of things that have been neglected.     Adriana doesn’t dream of fame, she dreams of doing well and sounding good. Music is for the audience.   Encanto http://www.encantobrazil.com EntreMundos Quarteto https://www.entremundosquarteto.com     Every Sing on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/   Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy's website: NancyBos.net/podcasts    Teadora beauty.com  Our favorite Teadora products around my house are the beauty butter, Brazilian glow radiance oil, and the sugar scrub mask.

She sand with Abrace, <a href="http://seanet.com/~jyarrow/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://seanet.com/~jyarrow/</a>, an all female a cappella group for a time.    One of the highlights of singing for Adriana is when she is “lost in the music;” transported to a place away from the present during improvisational singing. She feels like she found her way back into her passion again in 2010 and began singing professionally in 2011.    She realized there is space for Brazilian music - there is a need for something different, including Brazilian jazz, contemporary music, and other styles.   She sings with Encanto <a href="http://www.encantobrazil.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.encantobrazil.com</a>, a multi-ethnic, female-led seven-piece, world pop music group — a combination forró, samba, and choro-inspired originals and reimagined covers of classic Brazilian hits.   She has learned that the voice either needs to be in front or in the middle, but never underneath. With Brazilian music, the lyrics describe the challenges of life, so story telling is just as important as the rhythm of dance. It’s not about the loudness.   Adriana produces a Latin/Brazilian/Caribbean festival in Seattle.  The Seattle Latin, Brazilian, &amp; Caribbean Festival is held at the Royal Room each July. <a href="http://theroyalroomseattle.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://theroyalroomseattle.com</a>  Look for the Facebook page.   Adriana defines “Latin” in that sometimes Brazilians feel they are not Latinos - that they are “other.” But because of the language roots in the Latin languages, the rest of the world does view them at Latino.     Looking forward, Adriana feels like it is time to focus on her own career and voice. She wants to improve her breathing and take care of things that have been neglected.     Adriana doesn’t dream of fame, she dreams of doing well and sounding good. Music is for the audience.   Encanto <a href="http://www.encantobrazil.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.encantobrazil.com</a> EntreMundos Quarteto <a href="https://www.entremundosquarteto.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.entremundosquarteto.com</a>   Every Sing on Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/groups/1711090705861666/</a>   Every Sing on Twitter: @Every_Sing_Pod   Nancy's website: <a href="http://NancyBos.net/podcasts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NancyBos.net/podcasts</a>   Teadora <a href="http://beauty.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beauty.com</a>  Our favorite Teadora products around my house are the beauty butter, Brazilian glow radiance oil, and the sugar scrub mask.

ES050 Juggling Everysing w/ Shannon and Stephen O'Bent

Petra Raspel

Petra is a Vocal Coach, Singing Teacher, Life &amp; Career Coach for Creatives in Glasgow, United Kingdom. she has special expertise in helping (performing) artists and creatives to overcome limiting beliefs and emotional blocks to perform better and without fear. She has helped hundreds of people to prepare for or sustain a singing career, find personal fulfilment through music and overcome limiting beliefs and performance anxiety. Our conversation is broken into two parts, first dealing with performance anxiety for the singer, and second, setting oneself up for a growth mindset as a professional.    Petra began in this field by wanting to move the conversation with her students from the pure level of empathy to actually knowing the steps to enable the client or student to come up with their own solutions.   Here’s the important points I’ve picked up so far.   Performance anxiety may be caused by  1.a trauma from the past 2.perfectionism, we don’t feel we are enough yet 3.Too much outward focus, not enough inward focus.   As a mindset coach, Petra works with people to “get a grip” on their own minds, like    self limiting beliefs not wanting to reveal a weakness comparing themselves too much of others  Becoming aware of where you are on the continuum of a fixed mindset is a good start    Petra recommends the Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck - https://amzn.to/2ADUwnY   I’d like to talk to you briefly about my book the Teen Girl’s Singing Guide because there is a big section in that book on performance anxiety, written by Dr. Diana Allen, who was a guest of one of the most popular episodes of this podcast, episode ES022. In the book, Diana talks about many similar things to what Petra talks about here.    Diana calls herself a peak performance coach. And Petra calls herself a mindset coach. These two awesome women have in common that they work with creative professionals and amateurs, and specialize in singers. There are many mindset and peak performance coaches who work with athletes, business people, and others, but to have these two women available to us as musicians - that’s a great thing. Both of these people base their careers on helping us achieve our dreams. So we should take advantage of that.    Wherever you are in the world, you can reach out to Petra. The best way to find her is through her website: www.singingsense.com  What you’ll find there is her 3 Step Breakthrough Program for Creatives, her blog, and links to her totally useful social media pages.

ES049 Growth Mindset for Creatives w/ Petra Raspel

Matthew Schloneger

Dr. MATT SCHOLONEGER ES048 The purpose of Matt's study was to examine the use of dosimetry-derived tessituragrams and Voice Range Profiles (VRPs) in selecting appropriate voice repertoire for singing students.  Matt’s project for the Van Lawrence fellowship, funded by a grant from NATS and the Voice Foundation, was a study in Voice Dosemetry - that is, measuring and studying individual’s voice range profiles - the actual pitch range and loudness range of a persons voice. Specifically, he focused on the voice load of songs - how much time on each pitch, how many vibratory cycles on each pitch - in different keys.    The singers were recorded singing the same song in 3 different keys. He got their own perception of difficulty, had an expert panel listen, and using the score, kind of like the map of the song, which he calls a score based tessituragram. With each singer he made a voice range profile with the dosemeter. (A dosemeter looks like earbuds on a hard collar, that sits around your neck and rests in the front. It measures skin vibration in the neck.)   He also looked at overall voice use through the day. He found that people think about how much they sing, but not how much they talk, or how loud the environment is.    ------------   To revisit the episode with voice scientist, Ingo Titze, you can look for episode 16 in your podcast player or visit the podcast page here. http://everysing.libsyn.com/016-every-sing-dr-ingo-titze-voice-scientist   Matt’s first episode on Every Sing was episode #2 http://everysing.libsyn.com/002-every-sing-dr-matthew-schloneger-on-voice-dosimetry   You can find Matt @ Friends University in Wichita, KS   matthew_schloneger@friends.edu   Others involved in Matt's project:  Eric J.
