Jazz singer and journalist Beth Duncan joins The Working Singer podcast this week to discuss how vocal nodes derailed her singing career, making an unexpected transition into journalism, and her triumphant return to jazz music.
MENTIONS:
SINGING LESSONS:
- You can feel the pain and the joy in the lyrics if you pay attention and you’re not just singing a song.
- People want a piece of your heart. People would prefer that your singing is not perfect if you can really share your heart. If you can share some pain with them through a song you’re doing. It’s that ability to make people feel.
- If you want respect, make sure that you’ve got your act together and it’s not that hard if you just work on it a little bit.
- Never give up. The joy of music can be done on many levels. It doesn’t have to be some huge stage with thousands of people. You can bring your voice and your warmth and your story, your pain and your elation to a small group of people, and touch them in ways you might never imagine.
Thanks for listening!
