Tue, 12 Aug 2025 21:39:27 -0400

Hi Singers! Do you wish you could sing notes in the middle/higher part of your voice with more volume, power, and strength with out pushing or forcing the sound out? This is possible!

So let's talk about one way you can actually do this. The tool I'm talking about is called vowel modification, and I'm going to share how this works to help you sing in a belt that's technically a "mix", because it doesn't require you to "pull up" your chest voice. You'll walk away with a clear, simple tool you can practice and apply to whatever note you want to belt out this week.

Do Musical Theatre Singers and Actors Need to Learn How to Sing Riffs? // Ep. 226

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0400

Hi Singers! Today, I'm sharing why you should explore riffing and creating vocal runs even as a musical theatre singer. Why?

Because pop/rock influence is very prevalent in musical theatre these days, and riffs are popping up all over the place!

Technically, singers have been adding ornamentation to songs for forever, but we're hearing pop-esque riffs in musical theatre vocals a lot as well.

Does that mean you need to be the BEST at making up your own riffs? Absolutely not, but I'll share what you do need to focus on developing in order to feel confident singing riffs as a musical theatre performer. Listen in!

(p.s., I also share why musical theatre singing has been SO important to me and I share my own little musical theatre update - it's a little ramble-y at the beginning but we get into the topic at hand :).

Hey hey! Today's episode is a throwback to an interview I did on Creative Conversations Podcast, where the amazing Briana Elmore has conversations with other creatives. I'm sharing part one of the interview, where I spill the tea on some of the twists and turns in my creative journey so far. I go in depth on my journey from college to med school and where I am now! I hope this interview inspires you to overcome whatever fear you have in pursuing your creative passions and that it reminds you you're not alone. Look out for part two next week!

Mon, 30 Aug 2021 05:00:00 -0400

You can just start! I know it's easy to get bogged down with questions, insecurities, and - if you're a student like me - hours and hours of studying.

6 // Be Practical AND Optimistic as a Medical Student with Creative Interests, Hustles, and Hobbies

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 05:00:00 -0400

Practicality (prioritizing, time management, and making time to rest) and optimism (believing you can do what you've set your mind to, maintaining a positive mindset, and not letting outside voices get you down) go hand-in-hand for medical students, especially those with creative interests. I've learned this firsthand this semester. In this episode, I break down what each of these look like and how to balance both as creative medical students.
