What is good singing? Dr Irene Bartlett chats to vocal trainers Gillyanne & Jeremy about vocal health, technique & style

This Is A Voice

What is good singing? Singer and pedagogue Dr Irene Bartlett joins vocal trainers Gillyanne & Jeremy to talk about good singing, function and style.
It’s an honest conversation between vocal trainers separated by 10,000 miles but together in spirit.

• Is it divisive to separate classical, CCM and Musical Theatre music? Irene has a great one-sentence answer to this (2.40)
• Is there a difference between classical singing lessons and musical theatre singing lessons? How do classical singers react to their first heavy metal, or newbies react to their first opera? It’s a fascinating part of the conversation about vocal technique, sound output, performing environment and genre.
• What happens when you look at a spectrogram of a classical versus a contemporary singer? (5.36 onwards)
• What do a lot of acoustically trained singers get wrong about working with a mic? (8.10)
• And what does Irene do first in a singing lesson (that Gillyanne and Jeremy applaud her for)? (10.30)
• Which “standard” MT vocal technique does Gillyanne think needs a flight correction? (11.19)
• And why does Jeremy think your “vocal look” isn’t relevant in Musical Theatre but is relevant in CCM? (16.45)
