Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 28:14

Send us a text

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, cynical or “not good enough,” this episode will help you spot the signs, set boundaries and start recovering - without guilt.

What really causes burnout in musicians, singers, teachers, and students?
In this second episode of This Is A Voice on burnout, Dr. Gillyanne Kayes and Jeremy Fisher discuss the physical, emotional, and systemic roots of burnout - with two special guests offering different perspectives.

Dr Ayan Panja (NHS GP, Saving Lives In Slow Motion podcast) explains why burnout isn’t just “being tired” - and what really happens when empathy and perfectionism collide.

Richard Delaney (Programme Leader, BA Hons Acting: Contemporary and Devised at Royal Central School of Speech & Drama) reveals how time poverty and constant assessment are burning out a generation of creative students.

Plus, Gillyanne and Jeremy share their own stories of freelance burnout, people-pleasing and finding balance as performers and coaches.

From Exhaustion to Recovery - Our Burnout Stories, with guest Franka van Essen

Season 12 · Episode 1

Tuesday, October 14, 2025 • Duration 32:14

Send us a text

Burnout isn’t just “being tired.” For many musicians, singers, and creatives, it creeps in quietly until suddenly you can’t think clearly, you can’t create, and you feel stuck in cycles of exhaustion.

In Season 12 Episode 1 of This Is A Voice, Jeremy Fisher and Dr. Gillyanne Kayes open up about their own experience with burnout, how it affected their work and creativity, and what they did to recover.

They’re joined by singer and coach Franka van Essen, who explains burnout through the lens of Polyvagal Theory - and why creatives often toggle between burnout, boredom and overdrive.

We talk about:

The real signs of burnout (that you might be ignoring)

Why freelancing makes burnout more likely

How Polyvagal Theory can help you recognise the “zones” you live in

Practical ways to step back into rest, creativity, and connection

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, disconnected, or wondered “is this burnout?”, this episode will help you recognise it - and give you hope that you can recover.

Jazz, Research & Bucket-List Turns: The Moment Melissa Forbes Quit Law for Music

Season 11 · Episode 12

Tuesday, July 15, 2025 • Duration 29:49

Send us a text

Dr Melissa Forbes worked in law for 10 years until the firm's partner told a story about a bucket of water. That speech sent her straight to a jazz conservatorium, then to the research lab, and finally into community halls where group singing is healing real-world isolation.

In this episode of This Is A Voice, Jeremy Fisher & Dr Gillyanne Kayes chat with Melissa on

- the “flight-corrections” that reboot a creative life
- how positive psychology reframes practice, strength and burnout
- why participatory choirs can out-perform stadium shows in human impact
- tips for choir leaders & voice teachers who feel stuck in the “performance-only” loop

Whether you belt for Britain, lead chamber choirs, or run a voice studio, the twists and turns in Melissa’s story will spark new ideas for you and your singers.
Hit play, grab a cuppa, and let’s get vocal about making music that matters!
