Today, we continue the episode with Blind Guardian frontman Hansi Kürsch. His love of music and fantasy is pretty much evident in how he produces magic through writing songs based on fantasies and epics like The Stormlight Archives and The Lord of the Rings.

Using artistic freedom in writing a song based on a book series

023: Arjen Lucassen: Metal Opera Giant - Part I

Épisode 23

mercredi 5 octobre 2022 • Durée 01:05:02

What exactly goes into making an opera metal? Or is it the other way around – do you make metal operatic?

Today's guest is Arjen Lucassen, the mastermind composer, multi-instrument player, and producer of both Ayreon and Star One. Arjen is known, not only for his massive collaborative projects but also for having a knack for finding the best singers to collaborate with – singers that can handle both metal and opera, and lots in between.

Arjen has worked with almost every major metal talent that I've been introduced to in the last 2 years – and all of them can't speak highly enough of Arjen. His ability to scout and retain great talent is unparalleled.

Everyone wants to work with him as well because he makes them sound greater. He coaches them in a way that encourages creativity and excellence. Indeed, he is a master of finding great talent – and even making them greater. Listen in as we try to dig up Arjen's secret to finding great singers, how he approaches the collaborative process, and how he puts metal and opera together.

In this episode, you will hear:

The importance of staying in contact with your community
Arjen's early influences and how he developed his own style of music
Electric vs. acoustic guitar
What he does as a multi-instrumentalist and the importance of sound production
Loudness wars and paying attention to the health of your ears
His talent and passion for discovering talents
The back-and-forth process of working with a singer

022: Allen/Olzon: Veteran Duo - Part II

Épisode 22

mercredi 28 septembre 2022 • Durée 01:11:14

Last week, we began this interview with two incredible artists Russell Allen and Anette Olzon, who have now released two albums together. Interestingly, this episode is the first time they're meeting face-to-face. Russell and Anette are having fun talking about their love of music and family, and also joking about growing old in the music industry.

This week, we're going to continue the story by discussing how sound can heal, which straws are best for singers, and how placement can be helpful for extending your range. They also explain why they don't want to go to shows when not on tour.

This episode is filled with great energy coming from their first time meeting, making it a fun and light episode to listen to!

In this episode, you will hear:

Music as therapy
How words in a song resonate more than spoken words
Having vocal nodes isn't the end of your music career
How being in a choir increases good hormones
The best thing you can do for your voice
Placement in singing by feeling the vibrations of your body

021: Allen/Olzon: Veteran Duo - Part I

Épisode 21

mercredi 21 septembre 2022 • Durée 01:05:58

Today's conversation is made twice the fun as we feature two veteran vocalists, Russell Allen and Anette Olzon, who are legends on their own.

Russell Allen is known for his work with Symphony X and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and Anette Olzon is known for her work with Nightwish. Russell and Anette recently collaborated and released their second album together, titled Army of Dreamers. Yet, it's funny how these two fantastic artists had never met in person and never had a conversation before. And the way that they grow on each other as our tea time progresses is delightful to witness.

Also, I find it fascinating how fame affects people differently. Both Russell and Anette have toured the world. Although they've seen a lot in their career, they both seem to particularly love the moments at home, in peace and quiet, with their family. Russell is also creating a video game and he's happy to have his kid test it out!

In this episode, you will hear:

Russell working as a knight at Medieval Times Dinner Theater
Improvising their performance to "save the day"
Exposing your kids to music education
Their experience collaborating on an album
How to approach recording without overtaxing your larynx
Using technology to produce something really cool

020: Will Ramos: Make Weird Noises - Part II

Épisode 20

mercredi 14 septembre 2022 • Durée 57:04

It's time for yet another episode of healthy screaming with Will Ramos, the lead vocalist of the deathcore band, Lorna Shore.

Last week, we looked at how Will Ramos nurtured his voice to sound like a Nazgul. Today, we continue the conversation by talking more about how to NOT mess up your voice while screaming. Learn some tips on healthy screaming, relaxing to improve technique, and how scatting can improve deathcore.

Will values taking care of his voice just as much as an opera singer would. It's also so much fun to hear him talk about cross-training in Tuvan throat singing as one of the ways that he takes care of his voice.

Oh, and did I tell you that we actually put a camera down Will's throat to see what it's like now after years of heavy screaming? The result might just surprise you!

In this episode, you will hear:

How to scream better and avoid damage
What it was like getting COVID as a singer
The scatting approach
Will's bucket list for collabs
His transition to becoming the Lorna Shore frontman
The future of extreme metal
Tips to get started with metal screaming

019: Will Ramos: Make Weird Noises - Part I

Épisode 19

mercredi 7 septembre 2022 • Durée 59:44

Imagine a goblin meeting a Nazgul, and together they decided to sing an epic opera using only harsh vocals. That's what our guest today, Will Ramos sounds like. Will is the lead harsh vocalist of the deathcore band, Lorna Shore – and the sounds he makes are almost unreal!

Many traditional singing teachers would point to his grunts and gurgles and say that he's destroying his voice – but he isn't.

We actually decided to put a camera down his throat, and surprisingly, it was even more amazing than I had anticipated. Will engaged multiple areas of his vocal tract, from false folds to aryepiglottic. At one point, his throat even constricted so much that it looked like a black hole trying to suck the camera down. Whoa!

But the most fascinating thing from putting a camera down Will's throat was the asymmetry we found, where there's a twisting motion that happens inside his larynx. It's likely part of what contributes to Will's unique sound.

In this episode, you will hear:

How word noises can lead to a career
Transitioning from classical studies to metal
Singing live is like mixing your vocals
Will's unique sound and vocal technique
Vocal effort vs. efficiency
Vocal warm-up and exercise for false chord vocals

018: Simone Simons: Life Balance as a Metal Mother - Part II

Épisode 18

mercredi 31 août 2022 • Durée 01:06:45

Last week, we started a conversation with Simone Simons, the lead singer of Dutch symphonic metal band Epica. We discussed how she got into singing and blending classical and contemporary techniques.

This week, we continue the conversation as Simone talks about online singing lessons, taking pride in pregnant bellies, what singing felt like after giving birth, and our favorite Disney voices. She also dishes out some singing tips like using eyebrows to get to that high note and how she memorizes ALL THOSE LYRICS.

This episode also shows so many facets of pregnancy and being a new mom that most people wouldn't normally consider. This is a truly heart-warming conversation between two moms, about motherhood and our shared passion for singing.

Epica will be touring in North and South America throughout the rest of 2022, and throughout Europe in early 2023. They also recently released their new album, Omega, available on your regular streaming services, or purchase it online at epica.nl.

In this episode, you will hear:

Why you shouldn't be breathing too high
The different types of breathing
Keeping your shoulders calm, and your chest and belly active
Our favorite Disney voices
Singing after labor: understanding the changes in your body
Epica's Wall of Death

017: Simone Simons: Life Balance as a Metal Mother - Part I

Épisode 17

mercredi 24 août 2022 • Durée 01:00:46

Simone Simons may look like a supermodel – she has the blog, photographs and beauty partnerships to back it up – but she is much more than just the face of the Dutch metal band, Epica. Simone has a voice and a lifestyle to be reckoned with.

Simone's vocals are widely recognized for both their beauty and power. As the frontwoman of a symphonic metal band with death metal tendencies, Simone brings versatility in singing styles, combining both classical and contemporary technique.

In this episode, we discuss how she got into singing in the first place, how she blended classical and contemporary techniques, and how she kept her infant son quiet while recording. I also wanted to discuss something I have recently experienced as well – how pregnancy and being a mother actually affected the voice. And so, this is also a bonding conversation between two new moms!

In this episode, you will hear:

Navigating pregnancy and motherhood
Vocal rest and building endurance
Head-banging techniques
Getting the right tips and being able to apply them right away
Classical singing techniques: body position, breathing, & reaching high notes
How young is too young to sing opera?
How every note is essentially its own register
