Living A Vocal Life: A Podcast For Singers
Hi, I’m vocalist Valerie Day from the 80s band Nu Shooz. In Living A Vocal Life, I interview vocalists of all genres, in different stages of their careers, from singers on the Billboard charts to those teaching the next generation. What do they have in common? They’re all performers with amazing stories to tell and experiences to share.In our conversations, you’ll learn what inspired them to become a singer, the challenges they've encountered, and how they’ve overcome them. You’ll also hear what I’ve learned on my journey as a singer and educator — practical tools and insights that I hope will help you in your own vocal life.Please join us!
