Hier geht es zu Daniel Kaisers Podcastempfehlung in der Audiothek: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/ard-radiofeature/abgehoert-doku-ueber-das-geschaeft-mit-ki-stimmanalyse/ard/94821776/ Ist er Musicaldarsteller oder Puppenspieler? Joachim Benoit kann hier bei seiner Berufsbezeichnung getrost zwei Häkchen setzen. Beim "König der Löwen" spielt den Rotschnabeltoko-Vogel Zazu, der zu den wichtigsten Charakteren des Musicals gehört. "Ich habe klassisch Musicaltheater studiert und dann kam für diese Produktion noch die Puppe dazu" stellt sich Joachim Benoit in der aktuellen Folge des NDR 90,3 Podcasts "Feel Hamburg" vor. Diese Puppe, der wichtigtuerische Zazu, ist die am schwierigsten zu bedienende Figur des gesamten Casts. Zazu bewegt beim Sprechen den Schnabel und kann darüber hinaus mit den Augen rollen und den Lidern klappern. Die beiden, Zazu und sein Puppenspieler verschmelzen auf der Bühne zu so einer Einheit, dass der Mensch Joachim Benoit vom Publikum vollkommen ausgeblendet wird. Niemand achtet auf den blau geschminkten Mann mit der Melone auf dem Kopf, das Rampenlicht gehört dem Vogel. Ist das für ihn als Darsteller nicht ärgerlich, nicht frustrierend, nur in der zweiten Reihe zu stehen, möchte Host Daniel Kaiser wissen. Das müsse man als Darsteller verstehen und sich darauf einlassen, erklärt Benoit. "Man muss sich demütig hinter dieses Konzepte stellen und hinter die Puppen tretten, um durch sie zu wirken. Das kann nicht jeder. Dafür braucht man ein Gefühl und dann wird es magisch." Auch wenn der französische Nachname anderes vermuten lässt, kommt Joachim Benoit aus Rheinland-Pfalz und ist dort auf einem Dorf nahe der französischen Grenze aufgewachsen. Für ihn war bereits früh klar, dass er einmal Musicaldarsteller werden würde, auch wenn er im ländlichen Raum kaum eine Gelegenheit dazu hatte, ein Theater zu besuchen. Sein Berufswunsch entstand bei langen Fernsehabenden auf dem Sofa bei seiner Oma, erzählt Benoit: "Wir haben die Formate geguckt, die es damals in ARD und ZDF gab, alles, was ein bisschen mit Entertainment zu tun hatte. Die großen Fernsehshows mit Fernsehballett und Harald Juhnke". Da sei es ihm ein bisschen so wie Hape Kerkeling gegangen und er habe mit einer Haarbürste als Mikrofonersatz vor dem Spiegel geübt. Seine Ausbildung zum Musicaldarsteller absolvierte Joachim Benoit in den 90ern an der Hamburger Stage School of Music, Dance and Drama. Auch wenn es ihm damals in Hamburg schon sehr gefallen hatte, ging er für sein erstes Engagement zunächst nach Berlin und Östereich, bevor er 2001 in die Hansestadt zurückkehrte, um die Rolle des Zazu beim "König der Löwen" zu übernehmen. Hier fühlt er sich inzwischen längst zuhause und freut sich ganz besonders über die typische Architektur der Hanse. "Es hat mich immer berührt, diese Hanse-Gebäude, diese Hansegeschichte, die du überall bemerkst. Das war immer für mich Hamburg."

Hi friends! This conversation inspired me so much. I have a feeling Florencia's journey and persistence will inspire you, too...Kara Cutruzzula talks to Florencia Iriondo, a writer, performer, and showrunner, about her new one-woman musical South.

This week on A Voice and Beyond, we share part two of my two-part interview with Lyndia Johnson. Her celebrated abilities as a vocal coach and in artist development are both highly respected in the music industry. Lyndia, also known in the Music Industry as “MzLyndia”, has built a relationship with the Recording Academy which has become a long-recognized and well-respected collaboration. She has also served on the Board of Governors for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and a vocal consultant and clinician for MusiCares and Grammys. She holds both Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Voice and has been invited to serve as an Associate Professor of Practice in Pop Voice at the University of Southern California back in 2018. Proudly, she was the first African-American Professor of Voice engaged by the Thornton School of Music.From Pop, K-pop, R&B, and Gospel to Musical Theater, MzLyndia's artists can be heard around the world. In this episode, she delves deeper into her work preparing world-acclaimed music artists not only for the recording studio but also has the privilege of sharing the strategies she uses for assisting and supporting these artists when they face vocal issues amid a major tour. MzLyndia emphasizes the importance of understanding the performance and venue demands of our working students to ensure that what you are teaching, pedagogically, is relevant on stage, in a live situation.MzLyndia is an avid voice scientist, and she explains how this knowledge guides and informs her contemporary musical instructional style. She tells us that in a live concert, much of the vocal acoustics setup is configured in technology and can be dealt with by an audio engineer with the push of a button. MzLyinda explores the idea that, as singers, we are vocal athletes, and all athletes sustain injuries at some point. Therefore, it is time to stop shaming and improve the support systems for our singers.There's so much more to unpack in this episode as MzLyndia shares her knowledge, philosophies, and lived experiences. Remember this is part two of a two-part interview, and part 1 is last week's episode #138.

Welcome back to The Nerd Expansion! Today's guest is the one and only Kyle Winnick and his nerd love is Contemporary musical theater. It's awesome.He has been appreciative of musical theater since he was a young  child and would watch classic MGM musicals with his mom and brother. It wasn't until he was victim to the high school choir to drama club pipeline and was unexpectedly cast as the lead in the spring musical, Once Upon a Mattress, that the theater bug truly bit him. Being surround by peers who knew of a secret world of talent, drama, and glitter was extremely exciting, and he dove into the world head first. From there he would perform in, direct, produce, stage manage, and see tons of musicals and obsess over countless more cast albums, single releases, and theaterMania gossip.https://www.instagram.com/kyleswinnick/Hosted By: Nick Bowan & Sasha WeissTheme song written by Korrie YamaokaPerformed by Sasha Weiss & Korrie Yamaoka

This is an encore presentation of my conversation with author Liza Gennaro, regarding her fascinating book : Making Broadway Dance. Liza is currently the Dean of Musical Theater at the Manhattan School of Music and prior to that she had a very active and successful career as a dancer and choreographer on Broadway and with prominent theater companies across the country. Most notably she choreographed the hit Broadway revival of Frank Loessor's The Most Happy Fella. As she writes in the introduction to her book, Liza came to her love and interest in musical theater dance genetically. Her father was Peter Gennaro, the Tony Award winning choreographer and star dancer of Broadway musicals and TV variety shows. And her mother, Jean Gennaro, was a ballerina turned Broadway dancer who danced for Bronislava Nijinska, Agnes De Mille, and Michael Kidd.  As you might imagine, Liza grew up immersed in the world of Broadway, and all manner of dance, and she is able to weave all of that life experience into this remarkable book. I can't think of anyone more uniquely qualified to write it. This episode focuses largely on two great female choreographers — Katherine Dunham and Agnes de Mille. I have stated that De Mille is arguably the most important woman in the history of Broadway musical – not including the star performers, of course — and she has received quite a bit of focus in previous episodes of this podcast. However, I am especially happy today to shine a spotlight on Katherine Dunham whose influence on Broadway dance — like that of many other black artists — has often been overlooked and undervalued. But her impact and significance cannot be denied.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's quirky show, I welcome Jen Palumbo, an epic human Energizer Bunny who takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Jen is a freelance writer, Forbes contributor, and women's health advocate, specifically for reproductive rights. In a spirited coincidence, it turns out we both went to the same college at the same time, were both Theater people, and have dozens of friends in common. We are ships in the night for sure. As fellow parents of IVF children, we bonded over the current state of the state. And as fellow Binghamton graduates, we bonded over Wegmans, being Theater nerds, and 1990s dorm life in the southern tier. Jen is a true Long Island: loud and proud. Let the hilarity, dark humor, and GenX Therapy begin. Enjoy the show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
