This week, singing teacher and MDH Breathing Coordination coach Lucinda Allen is back, and we are diving deeper into the art of the exhale. From understanding airflow and pressure to optimising support through absorption, join us as we unravel the secrets to powerful, effortless singing.  QUOTE ‘Pressure can only go one way in the body, and that's out. If we don't allow the body to absorb it, it will find its way to the vocal cords, creating strain. True support is about flexibility and movement, not tension or force.'  WHAT'S IN THIS PODCAST? 1:04-2:22 Common ‘exhale' challenges  2:30-4:32 Matching air with vocal task  4:32-13:07 What we're actually trying to achieve with the exhale 13:08-23:09 Air, pressure, and absorption  23:50-29:13 Breath Support 29:13-35:09 Exhaling for belt  35:48-38:09 Anchoring 38:09-41:53 Exercise 41:53-44:10 MDH Breathing Co-ordination and lung conditions   About the presenter click HERE RELEVANT MENTIONS & LINKS Singing Teachers Talk - Ep.183 How to Fix Your Inhale and Transform Your Singing with Lucinda Allen  MDH Breathing Co-ordination Cynthia Erivo  Estill Path of the Voice by Robin De Haas  ABOUT THE GUEST Lucinda has more than 15 years experience as a highly regarded voice, singing, and MDH breathing coordination coach.

Margo is joined by Jewelry Designer Dani Paquin. Dani founded Agapantha Jewelry in April of 2004 after 6+ years of living as a touring singer-songwriter. While it was an incredible, dream fulfilling time, people don't love paying for music and the hustle was unsustainable. Between tours, Dani started working for a couple of designers, assembling jewelry and found that it was fun, creative, she was good at it, and people were willing to pay for it. She did music and jewelry for a while, semi-retired from music, opened an adorable vintage shop in Brooklyn, and eventually found her way into the full time flow of entrepreneurship. In 2010 she moved back to her home state of California and Agapantha has been headquartered in Torrance (Los Angeles County) for the past 14 years. In that time, the style of jewelry has changed dramatically and landed where it is currently - delicate, modern, layering jewelry - handmade in her production studio using primarily sterling silver and 14k gold filled materials.   Margo and Dani discuss: Her  journey from music to crafting exquisite, delicate, and modern jewelry How she built a successful business through innovative strategies, combining wholesale, retail, and unique events Diversifying offerings so all the eggs aren't in one basket The future of her brand as she ventures into fine jewelry The intricacies of running a creative business The importance of customer interaction and the challenges of navigating tough economic times Hiring a team and the importance of finding people that are better than you The incredible community she's built through initiatives like "Flash Sale Friday" and the Agapantha VIP club And more   Agapantha is carried in boutiques all over the world, including the Agapantha showroom. Dani's business model is fluid, allowing for change and flexibility, but combines wholesale, retail, online, and events including activities such as piercing, laser engraving, and forever jewelry.   Connect with Dani Paquin: www.agapantha.com www.instagram.com/agapanthajewelry www.tiktok.com/@agapanthajewelry   Connect with Margo:  www.windowsillchats.com www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

This week's interview is with Bill Caywood. Bill is a graphic designer and branding expert, he is the CEO of Brett Manning's Singing Success, the Creative Director of TraitMarker, founder of NashvilleParties.com, co-founder of Festivalus and the co-founder of Caspian Productions. His clients range from Faith Hill and Jimmy Eat World to Interscope Records, EMI and Warner Brothers. This is another of the interviews I conducted while in Tennessee set up through our mutual friend Robbie Grayson. I soon learned after meeting Robbie that if he said I should meet somebody I was going to be grateful of the connection. He knows some amazing people and they all listened when he said he wanted to connect them with the new guy in town! There is something about Robbie that makes him a connector and person that people gravitate to. You can expect an interview with him in the future! I had just interviewed Brett Manning when Robbie and Brett told me I should meet Bill, the mastermind behind the marketing of Singing Success. I am always interested to find out people's approach and what's behind successful marketing campaigns. After researching more on Bill I realized that Singing Success was just one of many successful projects that he was a part of. As a student of the school of life, and without formal higher education, I wanted to find out how Bill had gone from high school to working with some of the biggest names in the industry. In our interview we discuss a topic that many artists have difficulties with, how to charge for your art and value yourself. How do you put a price tag to something that is not always tangible, something that is an "experience"? We talk about the importance of taking risks and how to quantify success. Bill discusses in depth the Brett Manning brand and the natural and organic evolution of branding. I particularly enjoyed this interview because Bill goes into detail on his approach, he is authentic and a bright guy to say the least! I truly believe that the content of his answers can shed insight to your own marketing and branding. Aaron Bethune. Music Specialist.

I kept up the communication and headed back to Tennessee to strengthen the connection. It was Robbie that set up the meeting with Brett. Lately the interviews have been really leading themselves to the next person and I have been happy to follow where they lead me! I hope you enjoy this one and the insights that Brett has to share.
