In this episode, I speak with one of North America’s premier vocal coaches, Spencer Welch.
Well known for breaking down complex vocal concepts into easy-to-understand explanations and tips, Spencer is often hired to prepare recording artists and actors for studio, concert, theatre and film work.
He is a teacher of teachers, training and certifying singing instructors world-wide.
He’s also my long time voice teacher and for over two decades, has been one of my vocal mentors - equipping me, along with many of my voice colleagues, with the tools and a much better understanding of how to teach the art of contemporary singing.
