Send Mo a text about this episode!There's a difference between talking to yourself within your mind... and saying it out loud! Briana Blythe from Tone Circle Seattle is back on the podcast today to share about what she's learned over the last 7 months about how toning impacts what you manifest and how deeply you can connect with your guides. It takes agency and intention to state out loud what you want from your life- and this absolutely impacts your ability to manifest and co-create. This conversation is SO juicy!In this episode we talk about:- The process Briana has recognized that helps her connect with her true self and guides: self-regulation, alignment and connection to self energy!- What attendees and Briana are experiencing during the Tone Circles. - The Vocal Alchemy Immersive (Please note: this has shifted to May 2027) Sign up to be notified via their website!- How Briana has utilized these techniques to help clear energetic blockages in her body and connect more deeply with her guides!The 411 on Briana:Briana's mission is to reconnect human voices with human hearts, offering all people more access to deep listening and authentic expression of their innate inner wisdom.Before delving into the world of sound healing, Briana trained extensively in classical vocal performance and opera. After burnout and personal loss led her to pivot careers and go silent, it was vocal toning that ultimately healed her relationship with her voice.Through that process, she came to understand a fundamental truth: your voice, free from fear, is the most potent energy tool you carry with you everywhere.She now leads transformational vocal workshops and sound experiences that guide others to release fear, shame, self-judgment, and limiting beliefs keeping them from stepping into the full alchemical power of their voice to support their unique life journey.As founder of Tone Circle™, Briana is committed to making this vocal empowerment accessible to all—creating welcoming, meditative spaces where people can return to their voices for greater calm, clarity, confidence, and collective harmony in everyday life.Please note: The Vocal Alchemy Immersive is shifting to May 2027.

In this episode, I sit down with John Kozicki and Mandy York, hosts of the Rock School Proprietor podcast, and we get into something every music school owner deals with whether they realize it or not. How do you keep growing when your teaching philosophy and someone else's look nothing alike? John runs a punk rock brick-and-mortar school in Detroit. Mandy is a classically trained Music Together licensee. On paper they should not get along. In practice, they have built a friendship and a podcast around learning from each other, and I think their conversation will change how you think about your own studio. Here is what we cover: How two studio owners with completely opposite backgrounds found common ground Why parents deserve ongoing education, not just a sales pitch at enrollment Whether the traditional lesson approach should really come first What to do when a big franchise moves in down the street Letting go of guilt around pricing and profit In this episode, you'll learn: Why treating parents as students too can transform how families understand the value of lessons A simple reframe that helps kids fall in love with playing before you ever hand them a method book Why panicking when School of Rock or Bach to Rock opens nearby is the wrong move, and what to do instead How group and ensemble experiences build musicianship in ways solo lessons cannot The mindset shift that lets you stop feeling guilty about running a profitable school Why your business itself can be one of the most creative things you ever build davesimonsmusic.com

Send us Fan MailHow can opera singers be heard over an entire orchestra without any electronic amplification?In this episode of The Classical Music Minute, we explore the fascinating science behind operatic singing. Contrary to popular belief, opera singers do not simply sing louder than everyone else. Instead, they train for years to develop breath control, resonance, and efficient vocal production.One key advantage is the “singer's formant,” a special concentration of sound frequencies that allows the voice to stand out above the orchestra. Combined with the acoustics of traditional opera houses, this enables singers to project their voices to thousands of listeners without microphones.It's a remarkable blend of artistry, technique, and acoustical science.In just sixty seconds, discover how opera singers fill large theatres with the power of the human voice alone.Fun FactBefore microphones became common in theatres, opera singers were among the loudest unamplified performers in the world. Some voices could be heard clearly in venues holding more than 2,000 people.About The Classical Music MinuteThe Classical Music Minute is a short podcast exploring fascinating stories, quirky history, and surprising facts from the world of classical music—all in about sixty seconds.Each episode offers a quick and entertaining glimpse into composers, masterpieces, musical traditions, and the curious moments that shaped music history.You can also read the written versions of these episodes on Substack, where they're published as short articles delivered directly to subscribers.About Steven, HostSteven Hobé is a Canadian composer and actor based in Toronto and a member of the Canadian League of Composers.

Charlie Mellor joins Go To Food for a brilliant, booze-soaked, risotto-fuelled conversation from inside his acclaimed new Soho restaurant, Osteria Vibrato. Once hailed as the king of London's wine scene — and still very much hailed by us — Charlie's journey has taken him from Australian-born, classically trained opera singer to sommelier, restaurateur and one of the most charismatic hospitality minds in the capital.In this episode, Charlie talks about the rise and closure of The Laughing Heart, why neighbourhood restaurants have become such a brutal game, and why Soho felt like the right place to return with something romantic, generous and unmistakably Italian. He explains the thinking behind Vibrato's £3 coperto, its olive oil obsession, late-night ambitions, boozy lunches, and a wine list built to make serious bottles genuinely drinkable.We also get into the realities of opening a restaurant in 2026: linen bills, no-shows, soft-launch chaos, risotto sections, assembling a front-of-house Avengers squad, and the importance of making every guest feel like everything is going to be okay. Along the way, Charlie shares stories from opera, Melbourne dining, late-night London, and his family's legendary Cornish pasties.Expect strong views, big hospitality energy, Palermo tips, plenty of wine chat, and one of the best explanations you'll hear of what makes a restaurant truly generous. Charlie is thoughtful, theatrical, sweary, deeply hospitable — and Osteria Vibrato sounds like exactly the kind of place London needs right now.Watch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodOrder Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I sit down with casting director Tiffany Little Canfield for part one of our conversation.Season 6 is here. Tiffany Little Canfield is the perfect way to kick it off — a casting director who's been on both sides of the table and has a lot to say about what actors are getting wrong.Tiffany's path into casting wasn't a straight line. She started in acting, moved into directing — including work with opera singers — and eventually found her way to casting, where her directing background changed how she reads actors and scene work. That experience in the room as a director is something she brings to every project.We get into what a casting director actually does day to day, what it looks like to interview for those jobs, and how Tiffany thinks about actors differently because of her background. We also talk about the misconception around acting and fame, why continuous training is non-negotiable, how subjective casting really is, what self-tapes mean for the audition process now, and the biggest challenges actors are facing in the industry.In this episode we discuss:Tiffany's path from acting to directing to castingWhat casting directors actually doWorking with opera singers and how it shapes her approachThe misconception of acting and fameWhy continuous training matters at every levelThe subjectivity of casting and what that means for actorsSelf-tapes and how auditions have changedThe biggest challenges in the acting industry today00:00:00 - Introduction and Guest Introduction 00:00:28 - Early Life and Influence on Career 00:00:39 - Journey into Acting and Realization 00:01:57 - Transition from Acting to Directing 00:03:10 - Transition from Directing to Casting 00:09:02 - Understanding the Role of a Casting Director 00:09:45 - Interviewing for Jobs as a Casting Director 00:11:52 - Working with Opera Singers 00:13:21 - Understanding Actors and Scene Work 00:13:37 - Influence of Directing Degree in Casting 00:15:01 - Closing Thoughts on Actor Expectations 00:15:30 - The Misconception of Acting and Fame 00:17:08 - The Importance of Continuous Training for Actors 00:18:47 - The Subjectivity of Acting and Casting 00:22:04 - The Role of Self-Tapes in Auditions 00:24:29 - The Biggest Challenges in the Acting Industry#DMF #TiffanyLittleCanfield #CastingDirector #Acting #TelseyCompany #ActingTips #SelfTape #Audition #Filmmaking

The impulse to be creative is ingrained in the human spirit. We often turn to art not only to capture the beauty of the world, but also to manage its complexities. In an age where art is often devalued in favour of creating capital, will a new generation of artists be able to maintain their creative output? To answer this question, we will be joined by John Studzinski, philanthropist and Genesis Foundation founder, for a special conversation about his lifetime support of artists and cultural organisations and on what he has learned about the role creativity plays in mental health, recovery and collective life. The event forms part of the Genesis Foundation's Genesis Conversationsseries and also marks the 25th anniversary of the Genesis Foundation. The evening will begin with a preview screening of a new opera Angels on the Underground, composed by Will Todd, and a libretto by Sally Gardner. After the screening there will be a panel conversation and a Q&A session. Speakers: John Studzinski CBE, Philanthropist and Genesis Foundation Founder Will Todd, Musician and Composer Rebecca Salter, President, Royal Academy of Arts Bobby Palmer, Author and Journalist Chair: Jennifer Johnston FRSA, Opera Singer and Cultural Strategy Consultant In partnership with: Genesis Foundation Please be aware that this event contains subject matter that listeners might find upsetting or triggering.

Opera and the courtroom might seem worlds apart—but they share a similar stagecraft.

It may be something that he learned. But it is 100% true that every single person can learn how to use their voice more confidently and more effectively, without being an extrovert, without it being something that just came to them naturally.

Send us a textWhat happens when destiny meets talent? Christopher Macchio's remarkable journey from a shy teenager hiding his voice to becoming "America's Tenor" exemplifies how embracing your gifts can transform your life in extraordinary ways.At just 13, Macchio discovered he could mimic different vocal styles while listening to the Godfather Part III soundtrack. Yet fear kept this talent hidden until a perceptive high school choir director recognized his exceptional gift during a private audition. Even then, stage fright followed Macchio to music conservatory, where classmates remained unaware of his abilities until final exams revealed his stunning voice.The pivotal moment in Macchio's career came through a last-minute opportunity when Elton John canceled a New Year's Eve performance at Mar-a-Lago. With less than 24 hours' notice, Macchio flew to Palm Beach and captivated Donald Trump and a thousand guests, leading to an invitation to perform at Rod Stewart's 70th birthday celebration the following week.His connection with the Trump family deepened when he was asked to perform at Robert Trump's White House funeral in 2020 – only the third funeral ever held in the East Room after Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. This profound experience culminated in singing the National Anthem at President Trump's 2024 inauguration inside the Capitol Rotunda.Beyond his performances, Macchio passionately advocates for elevating music culture. As co-founder of the charity "Make Music Right," he guides young people in creating wholesome content that inspires rather than appeals to base instincts. His perspective on contemporary music reflects his belief that art should elevate listeners aesthetically and morally.Defining himself as "curious, ambitious, and grateful," Macchio's philosophy centers on understanding human experiences, valuing truth, and finding beauty in authenticity. His story reminds us that our greatest potential often lies behind our deepest fears, and that embracing our gifts – not for personal glory but to serve others – can open doors we never imagined possible.Join us for this intimate conversation with Christopher Macchio and discover how music can transcend politics, connect hearts, and reveal the extraordinary beauty that comes from sharing your authentic voice with the world.About Christopher MacchioFollow Christopher on INSTAGRAMMake Music RightAbout your Host- Alexia MelocchiBuy My Book - An Insiders Secret: Mastering the Hollywood PathAlexia Melocchi - WebsiteThe Heart of Show Business - WebsiteLittle Studio Films - WebsiteShop Our Merchandise!TwitterInstagramFacebookLinkedInThanks for listening!
