And we're back! Folks, after over 5 months of actress-less episodes, we are finally back with the iconic Lea Salonga. You Might Know Her From Aladdin, Mulan, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, and Broadway productions of  Here Lies Love, Miss Saigon, Les Miserables, and Flower Drum Song. Lea was the coolest and gave us all the behind-the-scenes scoop on her Tony-winning turn as Kim in Miss Saigon, Madame Thenardier and the Broadway hat trick we hope to live to see, and whether playing Mouse's mom is a play on her legend status with the House of Mouse. All that plus, auditioning as both Jasmine and Fa Mulan, the secret Les Mis chorus track (and did Patti Lupone do it?), and her favorite drag queens. Anne and Damian, we twin flames writing this, are just pleased as ever to be back and interviewing actresses.

The award-winning French Algerian American playwright, librettist and activist, Catherine Filloux, has been, for the past 3 decades, traveling to conflict areas writing plays that address human rights and social justice.             Catherine's new play, “How to Eat an Orange,” will open at La MaMa Theatre in New York City, and her new musical “Welcome to the Big Dipper” (written with composer Jimmy Roberts of, “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change” fame) will premiere Off-Broadway at the York Theatre in New York. It's a National Alliance for Musical Theatre finalist.             Catherine's play, “White Savior” is nominated for The Venturous Play List. Her many plays have been produced around the U.S. and internationally. I've read her play Lemkin's House and can tell you it's an intense and engaging exploration of the politics of genocide through the surreal landscape of the mind of Raphael Lemkin, the man who invented the word genocide.            Catherine's also the librettist for four produced operas, including New Arrivals, Where Elephants Weep, and The Floating Box. Her works have been played on Cambodian national TV, on Broadway on Demand, and chosen for Opera News Critic's Choice. And her opera, “Orlando,” is the winner of the 2022 Grawemeyer Award--the first opera by a woman composer and woman librettist in the history of the Vienna Staatsoper.             Catherine has traveled for her plays to countries including Bosnia, Cambodia, Guatemala, Haiti, Iraq, Morocco, Northern Ireland, and Sudan and South Sudan on an overseas reading tour with the University of Iowa's International Writing Program.             Catherine received her French Baccalaureate in Philosophy with Honors in Toulon, France, and is the co-founder/co-director of Theatre Without Borders.

All things Musical Theatre with the Team!

This week on A Voice and Beyond, we are very honored to have Lyndia Johnson as our special guest on the show. This is part one of a two-part interview with Lyndia, who is known in the Music Industry as “MzLyndia.” MzLyndia is not your average singing teacher and vocal coach. From touring with major artists to collaborating with music producers, she has spotlighted the need for vocal artist development in the music industry for over 25 years. Her celebrated abilities as a vocal coach and in artist development are highly respected. She has served on the Board of Governors for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, as a vocal consultant and clinician for MusiCares, and was one of the original architects of the Grammy's Vocal Camp. Her relationship with the Recording Academy has been a long-recognized and well-respected collaboration.In this interview, we delve into Lyndia's vocal journey as she shares with us that her career success as a well-established opera singer was based on a unique combination of years of operatic study and growing up being influenced by the voices of Aretha, Gladys, Etta James, and Mahalia Jackson. Lyndia later transitioned her career to become a highly sought-after vocal coach among Pop, R&B, Gospel, and Musical Theatre artists who desire to brand and transform their voices.Lyndia also offers a service uniquely intended for Producers and Recording Artists. In the recording studio, Lyndia's role as a vocal coach is not only to solve any vocal problems that occur in the recording session but to work alongside the record producer to help enhance the singer's voice and to ensure the producer can capture the best tone/timbre and vocal delivery possible all while avoiding costly delays. According to Lyndia, this gives the producer the freedom to create a highly marketable and vocally attractive finished product that can then be sustainable for touring.This is a most fascinating interview with Lyndia Johnson, one of the music industry's most acclaimed vocal coaches. Remember this is part one of a two-part interview and part 2 will be released next week.In this Episode2:35 - Introduction8:32 - MzLyndia's Journey10:22 - Opera training and cultural identity19:27 - MzLyndia reflects on losing her voice23:06 - Learning Voice Science28:49 - Music industry, voice coaching, and legacy36:49 - Artist uniqueness in live performances vs. recordings49:47 - Voice coaching and artist developmentFind MzLyndia Online:Website: https://www.sterlingvoicecoaching.com/about Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lyndia.johnson.94/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mzlyndia/Twitter: https://twitter.com/SterlingVoice LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lyndia-johnson-59504028 For more, go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/138.Like this episode?

To continue our discussion on the juicy topic of "belt," Alexa is joined by voice teacher and trainer of musical theatre and CCM, Amanda Flynn. Amanda has performed in shows like "Wicked" and "Mamma Mia" and has held the position of Production Vocal Coach for "The Lightning Thief" and "Be More Chill" on Broadway. She is the author of "So You Want to Sing Musical Theatre," the updated and expanded edition, and is here to chat about mastering belt in musical theatre. KEY TAKEAWAYS When discussing belting, it's essential to remember that it doesn't originate from Western classical singing. It's a form of sound production found worldwide, particularly in indigenous music traditions. Belting gained popularity in popular music through black female blues artists who incorporated this technique to intensify the emotional impact of their voices. When we apply Western classical principles to belting, many aspects don't align, leading to confusion among singers who realise that what they've been trained on doesn't quite fit this distinct vocal style. Mastering belt with laryngeal and acoustic registration involves controlling vocal folds, optimising resonance, and blending chest and head voice for a powerful and emotionally charged performance. Remember, if it sounds like a belt and works for a song then it's good. If you're getting the sound you want, don't overthink it. BEST MOMENTS ‘Belt is the most common and popular musical expression we have' ‘Belting is complex, it's not simple and straightforward' ‘They said you were belting out a sound because it's this big pop of a sound, almost like a punch' ‘One of the top questions I'm asked is what is belting, but we never ask a classical singer what classical is' EPISODE RESOURCES amandaflynnvoice.com Instagram & Tik Tok: @amandaflynnie Sign up for one of Amanda's classes, here: https://amanda-s-school-a64e.thinkific.com/ Get your copy of Amanda's book on Amazon Relevant Links & Mentions: Artists mentioned: Ma Rainey; Ida Cox; Bessie Smith; Ethel Merman; Musical Theatre shows mentioned: Wicked; Oklahoma!

Your voice is a powerful tool that you can leverage for success. Jessica Doyle Mekkes is a renowned vocal coach who helps women find their powerful, authentic voices. Whether you are a public speaker, leading a meeting, or just want to be able to speak up confidently in a personal or professional setting, there are many ways we can learn to exercise and use our voice more effectively. Manage your stress with breath work and role-playing, and consider that even your clothing choices can have an impact on your ability to deliver a powerful message. Most sound equipment is designed for men, so advocate for yourself, be mindful of the equipment you will be using, and make sure that it is equalized and positioned for your needs. We are not spending enough time thinking about how our voices sound, but when we use them properly, they can (and will!) command the room!Notes:
