My goodness....

I was introduced to this performance a number of years ago, but it's still masterful and a lesson in navigating vocal registers and qualities. So Hyang is just incredible!

The whole thing is jaw-dropping, but if you wanna skip to the CRAZY stuff...start around 2:00ish.

Knowing many singers who are currently needing some extra vocal support, I wanted to share some helpful tools that I use and recommend for clients: a personal steamer, a nebulizer, and singing straws!

- A warm steam from a personal steamer can be incredibly nourishing to the throat and nasal passages if one is feeling under the weather or tired. The steam can also help to thin thick mucus that might be stuck in the nasal passages and throat due to allergies or illness. I recommend using the steamer at the end of a day of vocal use, or allowing 20-30 minutes between steaming and vocal use.

- A nebulizer is an excellent way to get surface hydration directly to the vocal folds. When we use a sterile .9% saline solution in a nebulizer, our phonation threshold pressure (PTP), or the energy that goes into sending the folds into vibration is lowered. You can use a nebulizer anytime since the mist being created is not warm/hot -- especially when feeling tired or during periods of increased vocal use. Since a nebulizer sends particles to the vocal folds and the lungs, it's recommended that it is kept very clean (rinsing after each use, and boiling the chamber once a week have been suggested).

- Singing Straws have been a favorite for a while now. Straw phonation is an incredible tool to add into your daily routine. When we sing through a straw that is an appropriate length and diameter, it sends a back pressure back to the vocal folds to help "reset" them, and therefore lowering our PTP for a time. There are also other physical benefits, like helping our vocal folds line up more efficiently and evenly. They also can help smooth out breaks in the voice, and clean up agility! Straw phonation can be used at any time, but especially during vocal rehearsals, or before performances.

Experiment with these tools and let me know what you're vibing with! I will post the particular products that I use below in the comments.

Prince??

My King. Theatre. Kindness. Joy. The inspiration of how to LEAD a show.

Gavin. Thank you.

We lost our prince.

The New York City Center and Encores! family is devastated by the death of Gavin Creel today. The world has less light.

Our love goes out to Gavin’s parents and sisters, his partner Alex, his dog, Nina, and his devoted and beloved friends, Celia-Keenan Bolger and Sara Bareilles.

My heart is filled to the brim with pride and love for all of our graduating seniors at Emory & Henry College - but especially for Destinee Nikole.

I’ve had the pleasure of having her in my studio for most of her time at E&H, and have gotten to watch her grow as an artist and young woman. Huge things ahead for her after graduation, and she is already booked & blessed at Florida Studio Theatre 👏🏻

Sending graduates into the world never gets easier on an educator’s heart, but the world gets a little brighter each and every time.

Congratulations Destinee and the class of 2024! 🎉

I am beside myself so proud of this incredible young person who is just getting STARTED in what her amazing theatre and performance career will be.

Congratulations, sweet Ariel Frienly, you’re nailing it, girl!
