Saison 2 · Épisode 34

jeudi 23 mai 2024 • Durée 54:15

Welcome back to The Vocal Lab Podcast! In this second episode with Meredith Colby, we dive deeper into the vocal intricacies that distinguish classical from popular singing styles. Meredith sheds light on why many artists in the popular music scene are reluctant to seek vocal coaching, often due to fears of losing their unique vocal identity.

Throughout our conversation, Meredith emphasizes the insights from her book, 'Money Notes: How to Sing High, Loud, Healthy, and Forever.' This essential read is specifically crafted for vocalists in the pop genre, addressing the unique challenges and techniques that define their art. We explore the nuanced world of belting—a term frequently used but often misunderstood—and why Meredith advocates for clearer, more consistent terminology in vocal training. She discusses the stark contrasts in values, techniques, and roles between classical and popular singing, highlighting how understanding these differences can help overcome the common fear among pop singers regarding changes to their voice through professional coaching.

Moreover, Meredith delves into efficient phonation and the mastery of vocal techniques that can significantly enhance stamina and longevity in singers. This is crucial for those striving to thrive in high-demand performance settings.

Tune in to enrich your understanding of how tailored vocal coaching can transform singing careers.

Welcome to The Vocal Lab Podcast! Today, we delve into the fascinating world of singing and neuroscience with Meredith Colby, the pioneer of the Neuro Vocal Method. Meredith shares her insights into how our brains play a pivotal role in singing, even before our voices join in.

This approach, she argues, is crucial for singers striving to discover and hone their unique vocal styles, enabling true artistic expression. She highlights the importance of setting clear intentions before practicing, which can streamline the learning process and yield better outcomes. Meredith's expertise in the interplay between neuroscience and vocal training illuminates how focusing on one aspect at a time can facilitate more effective learning and faster progression in singing skills.
