On The Voice is a podcast for professional voice users navigating vocal injury and recovery. One of us is a voice teacher. One of us is a speech-language pathologist. We’ve both lived through injury, rehabilitation, and reinvention. Each episode brings you raw stories from performers who’ve been there, insight from the doctors and clinicians who treat it, and tools from voice professionals that are changing the way we perceive it. Whether you’re in the thick of recovery, supporting a student, or simply curious about the real life behind the curtain — you’re not alone!

George Salazar

In this episode of On The Voice, Mackenzie and Jenna sit down with George Salazar - a half-Filipino, half-Ecuadorian actor, singer, and musician best known for originating Michael Mell in the Broadway hit Be More Chill, a role that earned him a Lucille Lortel Award, two Broadway.com Audience Choice Awards, and nominations from both the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle. His show-stopping act two number, “Michael in the Bathroom,” has been streamed over 50 million times worldwide.

George made his Broadway debut in the 2011 revival of Godspell and has since starred in the Off-Broadway productions of Here Lies Love, tick, tick… BOOM!, The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical, and as Seymour in the Pasadena Playhouse’s critically acclaimed production of Little Shop of Horrors opposite MJ Rodriguez and Amber Riley. His television credits include American Crime Story: Impeachment and NBC’s Superstore, and he recently voiced “Happy” in Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White film.

In this episode, George opens up about his path from the 2nd National Tour of Spring Awakening to Be More Chill, how he artistically crafted the character of Michael Mell, and what a vocal hemorrhage taught him about pressure, identity, and redefining success as a vocal athlete.
