Singing Tips from Voice Teacher David Smith
Before the pandemic hit, my big summer project was to dip my toes back into performing and give a concert singing show tunes from Broadway. Needless to say, that didn’t work out!
However, just as my singing lessons have moved online, so can the concert! Starting in a few days, I will be posting videos of the songs I intended to sing in-person. Each of these songs will be followed by me talking about how the song or musical has historical relevance today. I love history and musicals are full of interesting historical tidbits that make the songs themselves more enjoyable because you learn about what exactly motivated the composer and lyricist. Some of these mini “lectures” will discuss the internal motivation of the character or composer themselves. Other songs lend themselves to the societal or political statement the composer had in mind. And finally, some will just be about the bizarre and interesting life twists of the composers themselves. These will not be your typical boring history lectures full of birth and death dates, I PROMISE! Hope to see you at the concert, in a strange and exciting new way! Comments are closed.
