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.
