Send us Fan MailA Chat with Vocal Coach Florence Riggs:This podcast has always been about trauma, what it is, what gets in the way of healing and creative suggestions for recovery. This episode with vocal coach and sound toning practitioner, Florence Riggs, therefore is a treasure as she's the real deal. And as my vocal coach for over 20 years, I can't give her enough positive juice for who she is and her ability to help both new singers or seasoned celebrities. One thing I have found with my voice is that there are times I just can't sing, if the energy in the room is not conducive to well being. I can always sing with Florence. She allows my abilities in a way no one else has. And that is why I am excited to be speaking with her today and letting you in on the chat:)!I will let Florence or Fiorenza, as I often call her, tell her bio and talk about how she came from NYC to Hollywood.Regarding my new radio play:The Music Stopped on Valentine's Day is the story of my late husband's death from hospital error. It is interspersed with his vocal tunes to celebrate his talent as a lyricist and composer. If you haven't had a chance to listen yet please find it on Dr Heather Uncensored, Season Six, Episode One.

Sängerin & Vocal Coach Monika Ballwein, im Gespräch mit Alice Herzog
On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Texas songwriter Amber Westerman for a conversation about new chapters, creative honesty, and the courage it takes to build a life that actually fits. Amber's journey has taken her from farming in Hawaii to writing songs in Nashville, and now back to a place that feels more like home.We talk about that turning point—recognizing when a path that once felt exciting no longer feels right. Amber shares what it meant to leave Nashville behind and return to Texas, and how that decision helped reconnect her with the reasons she started writing songs in the first place.Amber also speaks candidly about the less glamorous parts of being a modern artist, including social media burnout and the pressure to chase trends. Instead of leaning into the constant push for visibility, she's chosen to focus on authenticity and genuine connection with listeners—something that comes through clearly in both her songwriting and the way she approaches her career.Along the way, we talk about the story behind her single “Barefoot Days,” how Hawaii continues to shape her musical perspective, and what's coming next as she moves forward with new music and her band. It's an honest conversation about staying grounded, trusting your instincts, and building a creative life on your own terms.Key TakeawaysCreative paths evolve — sometimes the most important move is recognizing when it's time for a new chapter.Place shapes the music — Amber's time in Hawaii and Texas both deeply influence her songwriting voice.Authenticity matters more than trends — real connection with listeners lasts longer than viral moments.Social media pressure is real for artists — navigating that landscape requires intention and boundaries.Songwriting grows from lived experience — personal shifts often lead to deeper creative work.Returning home can reset perspective — reconnecting with roots can bring clarity and purpose.Building a sustainable music life requires honesty — both with yourself and with your audience.Music from the EpisodeBarefoot Days - Amber WestermanAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

Send us Fan MailIn vocal health and voice rehabilitation, where does the speech language therapist's role end and the singing teacher's role begin?In part 2 of this conversation, Jeremy Fisher and Dr Gillyanne Kayes go deeper into the relationship between the singing teacher and the SLT/SLP, exploring where the overlap is helpful, where boundaries matter, and why referral is sometimes the most professional thing you can do.They unpack some of the practical questions raised while teaching SLTs on a recent course in Northern Ireland, including breath management, phonation, pressure and flow, resonance strategies, vocal identity, and the challenge of helping singers transfer healthy voice function into real speech and singing.This episode also gets into the human side of voice work. What happens when a change in speaking or singing function feels like a change in identity? Why can the right exercise feel completely wrong to a vulnerable singer? And how can both professions work together without overstepping their expertise?You'll also hear some wonderfully odd but effective voice exercises, including pitch-play, negative practice, conversation training therapy, and toothbrush intelligibility work.If you heard part 1, this episode takes the conversation further, into the real-life overlap between professions, and why mutual respect, collaboration and clear boundaries are essential for healthy voice work.In this episode:00:00 Teaching vocal function to SLTs02:01 Breath, phonation, registers, pressure and flow04:32 “That's not me”, identity and singing sound07:45 Registers, chest voice, fluty soprano, and bridging mechanisms09:18 Why a new vocal setup can feel out of tune13:42 Weird exercises that actually work 14:56 Permission slips, silliness, and experimentation16:04 Humming, inner hearing and finding pitch 19:10 Meaning, melody & “Feed the dog”20:13 Starting with real speech, not isolated drills24:37 The toothbrush exercise for intelligibility, jaw release & tongue freedom29:05 What singing teachers can learn from clinical practice31:15 Respect the boundary, keep the collaborationListen if you're a singing teacher, SLT, vocal coach, choir leader, voice trainer or singer who wants a clearer sense of who does what, and why it matters.Remember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.

Where do those roles overlap and where should the boundaries be?In this episode of This Is a Voice, Jeremy Fisher and Dr Gillyanne Kayes explore the similarities and differences between the work of an SLT/SLP and a singing teacher, especially when singers or professional voice users arrive with voice problems, vocal fatigue, or concerns about vocal health. The conversation begins after teaching a course for SLTs in Northern Ireland, where questions about overlap, gaps & boundaries kept coming up.Gillyanne and Jeremy unpack the difference between a more medicalized approach and a more functional one, showing how clinicians may be focused on diagnosis, pathology, red flags and referral pathways, while singing teachers and vocal coaches are often focused on efficiency, stamina, clarity, range, coordination and performance goals. * when a singer should be referred onward * why singing teachers need to stay inside their scope of practice * how to think about vocal load * why voice problems are often multifactorial, a “perfect storm” * what singing teachers can legitimately observe and ask00:00 Singing teachers training SLTs01:30 Why this SLT training course was different03:45 Overlaps, gaps and boundaries05:57 Singing teachers can help retrain coordination08:33 Medicalized vs functional voice work11:42 Multifactorial voice problems and boundaries15:43 Perfectionism, performance pressure and voice recovery19:57 Case study, effortful voice through 2 different lenses23:29 What to hear, see and ask before giving exercises25:24 Why context matters more than generic exercises26:33 What is my job today in this room?28:00 Case history, profiling and trial interventions31:34 Being a detective, testing and evaluating exercisesIf you're interested in voice therapy, vocal pedagogy, functional voice training, singing teaching, rehabilitation vs habilitation, and referral decisions, this episode is packed with practical insight from two voice experts who train speech therapistsRemember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.

Send us a textIn this episode of our This Is A Voice podcast, we do something we've never done before.We have a “special guest”, not in the studio but on a recording, one that hasn't been played for more than 40 years. You'll have to listen to the first few minutes to discover who the special guest is!This conversation goes straight into the stuff singers quietly carry:The feeling that “good enough” is a place you never reach.How training can install a deficit narrative.Why the master-apprentice model can turn learning into permission-seeking.How confidence regresses when the teacher-student dynamic isn't handled with care.There's also a very practical tangent Gillyanne and I both care about.If you never sing music with scales written in them, stop treating scales like the goal. Build exercises from the repertoire you actually perform. Stop singing scales, start practising riffs!We close the episode with a second archival excerpt. Same “special guest”. Same question underneath it all.What would change if you stopped auditioning for permission, and started making music from ownership?***Apologies for the slightly variable sound quality, our microphones weren't working properly***CreditsArchival excerpt 1, Handel (German aria excerpt “Meine Seele hört im Sehen”)Archival excerpt 2, Mozart (Concert Aria K490, "Non temer, amato bene")Special guest singer: ???Violin: Penelope Wayne ShapiroPiano: Jamie ClarkeRecorded 1983Master-Apprentice Survey link: https://www.cognitoforms.com/VocalProcess1/Master-Apprentice-Model-In-Singing-TeachingThe Birmingham Vocal Coach blog on Rethinking Vocal Coaching https://www.thebirminghamvocalcoach.co.uk/blogRemember to like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon for more insightful episodes.

Is your vocal coach a mentor or just a fan? Choosing a vocal coach is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your career, yet most singers go in blind. This week on The Vocal Lab, Jason and Shelby pull back the curtain on the hiring process. They're sharing the exact 5-question litmus test you should use to separate the world-class mentors from the weekend hobbyists.

Her client roster includes chart-topping musicians, actors, and even sports broadcasters, making her a true authority on both the craft and the business of voice. Valerie's journey from church soloist to industry leader is a masterclass in following your passion—while mastering the business side to build a sustainable, lucrative career. On this episode we talk about: – How Valerie made her first and most recent dollar (from singing at church as a child to coaching and publishing a book) – The science and art behind vocal coaching and rehabilitation – Why most people can learn to sing—and the rare exceptions – The importance of combining artistry with business skills to succeed in creative industries – Building a powerful professional network and landing high-profile clients – Pivots in career paths: turning passion into a business, even if the dream changes – The discipline required for success—whether working with actors, musicians, or athletes – The realities of touring, film work, and managing creative personalities Top 3 Takeaways 1. Most people can learn to sing with the right training and patience—only about 2% of the population is truly tone deaf, and the voice is an athletic instrument that can be developed over time. 2. Success in creative fields requires both passion and business sense; understanding your strengths, building relationships, and having the patience for long-term growth are key to turning talent into income. 3. Building a strong network and reputation—through integrity, hard work, and word of mouth—can open doors to working with top clients and sustaining a fulfilling career.
