In this episode, I speak with NYC-based contralto Emily Geller, whose lower extension has to be heard to be believed.
In our conversation, Emily and I pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build a career in opera—from navigating identity and voice type, to facing rejection, to finding strength in self-trust. Her honesty and grit are contagious, and I walked away from our conversation feeling deeply inspired. I hope you will too.
A huge thank you to the Association of Body Mapping Education for sponsoring this episode and for the life-changing work they continue to do for musicians around the globe.
