    Episode 17
    This is a great podcast but the end of episode 17 was sexist and disrespectful, saying the guys should sign up with the female producer just for the view. Love this podcast but that rubbed me wrong.

    Very knowledgeable
    I have just recently discovered this podcast from a friend and fellow vocal teacher— I’ve been a professional singer my whole life, mostly opera and classical but have dabbled in other styles as well — with the most performance venues being shut down I’m returning to the teaching studio so I’m finding a lot of this good reminders of things I either learned or practiced or both but maybe a little different take on it so thank you guys —I think you’re doing a great job —I would love more examples as you’re talking about it rather than waiting to the end to demonstrate

    Super helpful+adorable
    Oh my. Just discovered this duo on a desperate search for help with larynx position and tongue tension. They are so informative, approachable, and helpful!! I’m so glad I found you guys. Thank you so much and please keep it going, your work is such an important contribution!!

    Almost good.
    Could be good but I can’t get through it, Need a script, also need to do more research on the guests you bring on the show.

    The Naked Vocalist
    The Naked Vocalist’s triumphant return! I really missed you! The PT information was very helpful and informative. Another homerun finding the People with the right information we vocalists need personalities to get the great joking that you guys are always doing. I missed that! This guy went Toe to toe and was great!

    All jabber, needs script
    This podcast has the potential to be good but the narrators desperately need a script or an editor to trim all the fat. Most of the podcasts drag on, drenched with stale humor and long pauses, making the already dense material very difficult to process.

    Cheeky boys. I am a singer who is continuously learning about my voice. I just discovered your podcast. You give good advice and information. I may not know the artist you mention but it does not mean that I don’t care. I know how to research on GoogleLand. How about a podcast that address the older/mature singer. Remember if you will be an old wanker someday. All the best precious. basso28

    Elevating the artform of contemporary singing.
    Was looking for my next area of growth as a vocalist and vocal coach and I found it! As a classicaly trained singer who has crossed over into various professional roles including music theatre, choral, opera, rock bands to session vocalist, I finally found the kind of people I would like to sit down and listen to as they talk about singing. Their broad experience and indepth knowledge of vocal anatomy and technique directly apply to any vocalist, coach and more importantly my students.

    Love these Guys
    This podcast brightens my day everytime. I came for the knowledge and left with a brighter outlook and more knowledge. Thanks so much to them for showing me how to navagate the difficulties of being a beginning singer: knowing how to be prepared for a lesson, understanding why voice teachers have us do the excercises they do, understanding how to approach tension in the voice, understanding how to navagate to different ranges in the voice, learning what the life of a professional singer is like, understanding the importance of being well rested, fit, and overall healthy, understanding the importance of how your mental state caries into your voice, and a million more things. Thank you so much. You're a hoot and just such delightfully kind people to listen to.

    Where have I been??!!
    I just found this podcast and have listened to 3 episodes so far. I was hooked from the first episode. Where have I been??!!! Geez! This podcast makes pedagogy fun. (I’ve always thought it was anyway but I laugh out loud while learning tons each episode.) The hosts are intelligent and funny and the guests are just as wonderful! As a professional singer and long time voice instructor this podcast is saving me from burnout. I attend wonderful workshops during the summer months but the long winter months can get intense. This podcast is lighting my fire and the lessons I’m teaching this winter are full of energy, creative ideas, and new ways to approach old vocal issues. Thank you for this life saving podcast. :)

    Nice job, guys!
    Just watched the interview with Jeannie LoVetri. Super great!! You gave her a lot of time to speak and it gave me a great feeling for her approach (which I love!). I started watching your vid discussing the larynx debate. Your personalities are delightful and fun. However, I would rate that podcast lower as it seemed that you joked around alot at the beginning rather than getting into the meat of the debate sooner. Also, one of you was in shadow. That said, it's obvious that you care about singers and singing and want to provide good, entertaining videos for singers. Thanks! Well done.

    Breathing life into the teaching of singing
    Never boring. These guys are very engaging and the content is always helpful to me as a voice teacher.
  • Jkelley1107
    I love these guys!
    Stumbled across this podcast while doing an online search for advice on some voice problems I am having. Now I am hooked! Not only do they give great advice and have some really fascinating guests, they are super funny. They always make me laugh (with them, not at them, usually) ;) Really informative and entertaining. Thanks Chris and Steve! Keep up the good work.

    Strong Singing Strategy w/ a Sense of Humor
    Chris and Steve are easy to learn from. They give great advice about the physical, mental, and emotional components of singing with straight talk, compassion, and a sense of humor. I enjoy listening to their shows, but also take away good tips to help me achieve my goals. I strongly recommend this podcats!
  • DJ_KS
    Fantastic resource
    Love this podcast. Steve and Chris are a blast to listen to, and very obviously know their stuff. Their advice is founded in sound science and pedagogy, they explore multiple aspects of and solutions to a given problem…nothing not to love here.
  • Tenor19
    Knowledgable & Practical
    I don't find many voice technicians on the internet worthwhile, but you guys are knowledgable and accurate, discuss practical topics, and distill complex scientific matters down masterfully while still using terminology for your fellow voice technicians who tune in. Keep it up!
  • singobsessed
    Love these guys
    I’m a singing actor for a living, and over the last few years have become pretty obsessed with voice pedagogy. Stumbled up this podcast during one of my regular info- binges and loved it off the bat. These two really know their stuff- love to hear their opinions on just about everything, and appreciate that they’re fluent in so many great methodologies. I also love just about all of their guests (come on, Ingo Titze!). They can get into really dense pedagogical info and still manage to keep it entertaining, in addition to interesting. Keep going, guys!
  • sgates-NE
    Helpful Advice! And hilarious guys!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for the past month or so and am really enjoying these guys’ insights and their hilarious British humor. I love how they take questions and answer them in detail on their podcast! Looking forward to more from them!

    great! Just louder
    Nice to have a vocalist podcast! One thing, I’d love it if you could get the levels louder as I have to turn my car stereo up all the way and I still have trouble hearing your voices. Cheers from Vancouver BC, I’ll get you guys a coffee if you’re ever in this neck of the woods
  • Jimi-James-explosion
