And then it just sort of blended to all voice. I work in animated voice. I help people make sounds. I help people like who, have like funny little voices and they do funny things. I like help them shape their voice. I work on Rick and Morty.
I help the new Rick and Morty characters sound like the old Rick and Morty because I can hear and I can feel what people are doing with their voice and what they need to be doing with their voice.
Yeah, I would say like pretty much every voice teacher and voice coach was a singer at some point. It's a weird profession to go into if you weren't a singer.
Not that many. Right. There are not that many voice therapists. Like this is a very niche and then I took it even more niche. So like I am really right there. Really. But I brought it so far to the niche point that then I expanded it out to not niche. Like everybody's got a voice.
A lot of times the managers will find me. How? What was the first time? I think Sia was the first time. And I signed a lot of NDAs for a lot of things, so I can't talk about like— Too late now. I know. Well, they're fine, but I can't talk about everybody and why they come to me for certain things. Okay, okay. But they'll find me if they're going on tour.
And they just need some tour training. And my name is floated around there. You know, I think managers and tour managers all know. And they're like, cool, my client's about to do a big year-long tour. They're having maybe some issues. Or we just want to make sure that they're strong so we don't cancel shows. So can you work with them before?
And then they meet me and they're like, okay, I like you. Right. And they just keep me on for life.
I have an elliptical in my office.
Yeah, I do. And it's so people can sing and breathe and huff and puff and sing all at the same time. But yeah, cardio is a big part of it.
Yep. Right? Beyonce does the same thing.
Miley Cyrus does the same thing. Yeah.
Yep. Yep. Because you need to train your voice to be able to come together while you're like... Right. So you're doing that. So yeah, it's all the training.
I mean, breath. Breath support. Bringing a big, wide breath and not letting it all out. So the big, wide... Spread your ribcage out and hold your breath. And then be able to talk whilst not just, ah, not letting it all out. So keeping that support.
She's doing a show. Okay. Opening a new Broadway musical called Redwoods. It's fantastic. Yeah. And yeah, just helping her prepare for that, making sure that she's going to stay strong throughout because Broadway is a whole different beast. You have to do eight shows a week. Right. So she's singing eight shows a week.
And so I'm making sure that her voice is strong, that she can do all these things with a lot of this stuff. So A, we're training her voice. That's like muscle training. coming together.
Practicing in very specific exercises. If somebody has a weaker voice or their voice is a little bit breathy and they sort of talk like this, I will give them a hard exercise like, uh, hold that. Right? Just holding a long, hard ah, go up the scale. It's muscles. Your vocal cords are the size of your thumbnail. Do you know that? So teeny tiny. And all it is is little tissue.
And then there's muscles on the side, so you bring it together. So I will have a soft voice like that. Give that really big, loud sound, but not in a place where they're screaming and hurting themselves, but something that's really nice and supported. And then if somebody has a voice that's too hard and too rough, then I'm going to take it down. And I'll be like, okay, now for you, it's different.
We're all so different. Everybody's vocal cords look different. Everybody's body's different. Everybody's throat, everybody's mouth, everybody's size, everybody's so different. So there's not one way how to do everything.
Well, that's a part of it sometimes. And sometimes it's not. Sometimes it's like, no, you need the strength to be able to do that. Right. How do you strengthen a voice? Exactly that. So if I'm going, ah.
No, because when you're performing, it's a little different. You're singing things and bouncing off walls and doing something else. But if you're sitting there, it's just the same as lifting weights. You're lifting weights, but with your voice. So you're sitting there and you're holding it and you're holding it in the right place. All your muscles are coming together in the right place.
