Welcome to Studying the Song, a podcast for musical theatre actors who want to take their vocal artistry to the next level by going deep into the music of musical theatre.
For the past 15 years of being a voice coach and music director, playing auditions and teaching at the collegiate level, I noticed the same two questions coming up over and over again from singers.
“What should I sing? “ and “How should I sing it?”
There’s often a third question (unspoken) that haunts many performers, “How will I stand out from other performers?”
In this podcast we’ll be answering those questions:
-how to select repertoire that’s right for you (shows off your strengths, highlights your personality, & connects to your spirit)
-how to sing different vocal styles of musical theatre
-how to interpret sheet music and analyze the score
-how to prepare for auditions
-how to discover the unique talents and skills you bring to the table
-and so much more!
Each week, you’ll hear educational content, live coachings, and interviews with theatre professionals – all focused on developing your vocal artistry and helping you discover the unique greatness you have to offer the world.
Talent and passion are only the beginning.
I believe that when you put in the work, practice the skills, and do the research, something amazing happens – you become so prepared in your craft that you become unstoppable.
Consider me your own personal vocal coach in your ear buds, cheering you on and bringing you the reality checks you need along the way.
If you’ve been dying to discover the songs that feel right for you, create more texture and depth in your vocal performance, and actually book the gig, then this is the place for you, friend.
I’m Korrie Yamaoka, and I’m so excited to be walking this journey with you. Let’s dive in.

Free Your Voice in Minutes Using Neuro-Kinesthetic Excercises w/Kimberly Moller
Discover how training your brain and neurological system can instantly yield more freedom, control, and flexibility in your voice.
You guys, I’ve seen Kimberly Moller’s work first hand, and I have to say - it’s like magic!
In this episode, I ask Kim all my questions about how neurology (all things nerves and nervous system) affects our voice. How can we improve tone, resonance, and control so that we feel more freedom and ease as we sing.
We also talk about how we can calm our nervous system and anxiety before auditioning and performing with simple physical exercises. Whether you’re backstage before a gig or in the waiting room for an audition, you CAN improve your singing within just minutes of doing these drills.
SPOILER: I’ve added these drills to my routine before I perform and before I record and am so happy with the results.
Kimberly Moller is on the Board of The National Association of Teachers of Singing in San Diego and a member of The Musical Theatre Educators Alliance. Her mentors include: Singing Athlete creator Andrew Byrne, Laurinda Nikkel (SDSU), Mary Saunders Barton (Penn State/Bel Canto can Belto method) and master Z-Health trainer Missy Bunch. Kimberly is Z-Health Essentials, R-Phase and I-Phase certified to assist with drills and mobility that impacts vocal production at the speed of the nervous system.
If you’re looking for a new way to access freedom in your voice (something beyond breathing exercises and vocalises), then listen to this episode. Then go check out Kim at www.vocalkinesthetics.com
Let’s get into it!
