Studio Time – Détails, épisodes et analyse

For the past year and a half, illustrator Marijke van Veldhoven has been drawing comics about her life as a creative, capturing the feelings and the fears that we all experience.

This week Marijke launches a kickstarter campaign to share a collection of 100 of those comics in a book called Zoo You Mind? 

We talk about how she got started as an artist, how receiving feedback from her audience gave her confidence to return to drawing comics, and what she learnt from asking for help.

My guest on this episode, Gina Morgano, is a radical romantic who believes in using her voice as an instrument of peace.

Gina teaches how to find your voice - both the external voice that has something it wants to sing and the internal voice which has something that it's longing to say. In this episode you'll hear some of Gina's story - how she came to be a performer and singing teacher with a love of learning and sharing other people's stories.

Napoleon earned a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Drake University and a M.B.A. in Entrepreneurship from Southern New Hampshire University. 

In this wide ranging conversation, we talk about the teacher that fostered Napoleon’s talent early on, and how he was able to return the favour a few years later to help her set up City Voices, a non-profit that provides arts education at no charge to many more young people in his hometown of Des Moines, Iowa.

Napoleon describes how the contracts he booked straight out of school offered him stage experience and also showed him the rest of the regional theatre business - from the box office to the kitchen. He talks about why he decided to do a post grad MBA in entrepreneurship and became known backstage as the accounting kid.

If you’ve listened to Studio Time previously, you’ll find the format of this episode is a bit different.

Recorded over the course of 6 weeks, this episode documents Halle’s journey from being someone with an idea for a podcast through to the launch of her very first episode. I was able to check in with her at a number of points along the way to follow her progress and discover the questions she was asking.

I was able to reach out to some colleagues who host their own podcasts, and tap into their collective insight and experience to get Halle some really helpful advice and useful answers. I’m proud to welcome back to Studio Time the voices of Drew Alexander Forde, Lili Torre, Peter Shepherd and introduce you to Molly Beck. I look up to all four of these podcasters and the way they show up for their own audiences and I’m grateful for their willingness to contribute here so generously. It’s a great reminder that the people in your network have an abundance of wisdom and experience to share - and there’s no prize for answering every answer on your own.

When I was growing up and studying music, I learned about great composers such as Bach who was employed by the church and Tchaikovsky, who had a wealthy patron. Many of the other composers I learned about either barely scraped together enough to get by, were cloistered in academia, or had day jobs that supported their music after hours.

In the places I studied, no one really talked about how you could be a contemporary composer and make a living while doing it. Until I met Kayle.

He is a Production Music Library Composer - which means he writes musical cues that go into the libraries that provide music for television, film, advertisements and other media.

With music that has shown up on shows as fun as Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and as well...prolific, as The Young and the Restless - Kayle has been writing music for screen since 2013.

Tim was my guest on episode 17 and it’s a pleasure to welcome him back to talk about what’s been happening with his show American Morning since we last spoke.

On June 19, Tim releases a brand new recording of American Morning on all the platforms you go to find music. He describes it as half cast recording, half concept album. For my money, this recording celebrates the show’s history and imagines its future. Tim has captured everything he’s learnt about the show so far and demonstrates how it can sound when it goes to a full production.

We don’t discuss it in any detail here, but I highly recommend you go to timothyhuang.net and read the incisive and insightful articles and blog posts Tim shares there.
