  • Everybody sings! The how and the wow of your voice
    Jul 23 2024

    Whether you hum in the shower or yodel on stage, you can make music with your voice! But what’s going on inside of your body when you do it? And are there ways to change how your voice sounds?


    Molly and co-host Kate will explore these questions and more in this episode all about singing. They’ll join Marc to watch a famous opera star do her thing and learn about what happens in our bodies when we sing. They’ll hear samples of everything from throat singing to rock and roll. Plus they'll chat with voice teacher and opera singer Mikalia Bradberry about all the ways we can learn to control our voice and sing in different styles – from Broadway belting to crooning like Taylor Swift. Plus, a noteworthy mystery sound!

LOVE THIS!!!

I really like this podcast. It teaches on so many great topics in a kid friendly way. Just one thing. I would like to know if a season is ending because on Tuesdays I check the feed and don`t understand if there isn`t a new episode. Otherwise, this is a great podcast!
