Savings and interest and debt, oh my! Financial literacy can be a scary topic, we know, but it's so important for actors to learn how to be in control of their money and feel more secure in such an unpredictable industry. That's why we brought our friend Kyle Timson to the podcast today to teach us all about it!

Kyle is an actor and graduate of the University of Michigan, currently touring as the dance captain and male swing on the North American tour of Les Miserables. He's also made it his mission to improve financial literacy in the performing arts industry by providing classes and personal coaching for actors. We talked to Kyle about savings accounts, student loan debt, 401k's, and more--and if those topics send shivers down your spine, don't worry! Kyle explains them all in easy-to-understand ways that will leave you feeling inspired and empowered.

Mix voice is a hot topic in the singing world, and chances are you're in search of that elusive experience of "finding your mix". In the world of musical theater, it's rare to find a singer who isn't exploring their mix, wondering whether they've found it, or simply wondering what mix voice is. With so much (sometimes conflicting) information out there on how to achieve a mix, Chelsea breaks down six common misconceptions about mixing and your singing voice in this solo episode.

Navigating online singing advice can be confusing for singers, because what works for one person might not work for you. Singing is personal! Chelsea is developing an online Mix Voice Course that focuses on personalized lesson plans based on self-assessments so that singers can find solutions that fit their specific needs.

"My feeling about auditioning, regardless of the medium, has always been–this is my opportunity to actually play this part. I don't want to feel like I'm auditioning for something that might happen later. I want to feel like I'm fully doing it now. That lent itself nicely to auditioning for television and film,  because the job might be tomorrow morning."

Olli Haaskivi is an actor who soon after graduating with a musical theatre degree, found his passion and skills aligned himself with a career in TV and film. Today, we talk with Olli about how he made that transition, what he feels are the tools you need to audition for TV/film successfully, and how he's developed a thriving coaching business helping other MT actors get started onscreen.

A lot of musical theater singers we know get  overwhelmed and confused with rock pop music. Maybe you've been told that you sound a little too musical theater when you've tried singing rock pop music and you don't know how to fix it. Or maybe you've just heard a lot of conflicting advice! So, as someone who's actually worked on a lot of pop rock musicals, I'm here to dispel some myths and hopefully make the style feel a little less intimidating and a lot more fun to try.

"We think we know emotion because we are playing other characters, but most of the people I work with aren't actually that tuned into their own emotional body. Imagine how this will affect our art, the more we can come into our body and feel our own feelings and our own intuition and our own guidance and then bring that into our art."

Analisa Leaming is a performer turned "soulful coach" for actors, the host of the podcast A Balancing Act, and she's passionate about supporting  artists mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as they pursue their dreams. Today's conversation is all about the roadblocks we encounter and breakthroughs we can make as we strive to live a life more aligned with our creativity and our dreams.

"When you self accept that you are where you need to be, and that the space you are taking up is rightfully yours, then you get that sense of knowing, of belonging. It's not by somebody's approval. No, it's by your own." - Kristin on the BVC Podcast.

Kristin Chenoweth is an Emmy and Tony award winning actress, singer, and author. And let's be real, she hardly needs an introduction from us! This interview offers a glimpse into Kristin's inspiring heart and soul. In addition to her life, career, and what she wants to leave as her legacy, we discuss her recent books: the compilation coffee table book "My Moment," her book of mini-meditations, "I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts," and her delightful children's book "What Will I Do With My Love Today?"
