VocalFri Podcast

We've frequently referenced the undergraduate ped course as the Time Vortex. Now meet some of them while they ask Dr. P all the questions they ever wanted to know. Some good fun this week!

Our first ever MC VocalFri guest, Dr. Paul Houghtaling! We are so grateful that Paul took time out of his busy schedule to talk about Druid City Opera Workshop, his program at University of Alabama, and his career. Happy New Year everyone!

Our highly anticipated Last Jedi wrap up. That's right, we are NOT in a time machine this week! In this episode we have two young padawan guest hosts and we relate the wisdom of the Jedi order to the wisdom of voice teaching. Merry Christmas from VocalFri!

We break down the Last Jedi trailer in preparation for this weekend's big premiere. Dr. Perna gets a new voice toy, and we discuss voice conferences. Phebe guest hosts.

On site at Southern Region NATS! We give our take on Jodie Whittaker's new look as the Doctor, and we work through the problem of "The Proverbial They" in the voice world.

In this episode we break down Season 2 of Stranger Things and we pose the question "How much science is too much science in the voice pedagogy classroom?"

In this episode Sarah plays D&D, Dr. P forgets A Wrinkle in Time, Phebe guest hosts, and we break the annual Wolf Trap aria frequency lists.

How do you pronounce Wikipedia? The undergrad ped class looks into the time vortex. And we discuss delays in our process.

Michael predicts the future, and we break down imposter syndrome in the voice pedagogy and singing world.

The first episdoe we finally identified as @VocalFri.  If you're new to the podcast this week is great jumping off point! In this episode we break down the trailer for this week's Thor release, and really dig into the procedure for the study. Also we riff about the wonderful (?) process of making the protocol videos.
