About this episode

In this episode, Robert Bosworth chats with voice scientist and coach Emily Workman about singing, vocal techniques, and the experiences that shape musicians.

In this episode, your nonsense-intolerant host is joined by voice scientist and coach Emily Workman, whose own no-nonsense approach to singing has made her a much sought-after teacher to every breed of singer, be they operatic or emo. The two dive into everything from vocal myths and teacher-student relationships to building an audience, surviving criticism, and the experiences that quietly shape us as musicians long before we ever step on stage. It's equal parts practical, thought-provoking, unexpectedly personal, and occasionally hilarious. If you've ever wondered why some advice sticks, why some teachers change your life, or why developing a healthy vocal technique is probably a good idea no matter what kind of music you sing, this is a chat you won't want to miss.
