ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
This show aims to pull back the curtain on the music industry, and give up-and-coming artists some of the knowledge that veterans wish they'd had when they were just starting out. Our format on The Vocal Lab incorporates some solo episodes where it's just Sara, talking about voice care and singing and performance coaching, the realities of life on the road, and how to prep for the studio - basically answering questions you may or may not even know to ask!We will also have TONS of guest interview episodes, where veterans can draw on their experience to lay out the yellow brick road for the next generation of artists. You'll get to hear their perspective through the lens of "what I know now that I wish I'd known then."
