This week on A Voice and Beyond, I am thrilled to be speaking with Dr. Brian Gill. This is part 1 of a 2-part interview with Brian, a world-renowned educator, singer, voice researcher, and founder of Gill Mindful Voice Training. At present, he is a Professor of Voice and Voice Pedagogy at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. In today’s show, he takes us on a journey throughout his 35-year performance career as a singer and bass player performing multi-genre: opera/classical, hard rock, heavy metal, funk, country, musical theater, Indian classical, and jazz. He explains how he managed to successfully transition across this landscape of music styles and how that experience has given him a depth of understanding of the vocal parameters required to teach singers to be stylistically authentic across genres. Brian believes that as voice teachers, we must engage with any style we are going to teach and that in order to learn a style, one must be immersed in that music for a significant amount of time. Brian has dedicated his life to demystifying voice and tells us that one of the greatest misconceptions about the voice is with regards to the notion of support. Brian opens up about his mentors, his proud teacher moments, and so much more. This is such an engaging interview with Dr. Brian Gill. And remember, this is only part 1 of my interview with him. Next week in part 2, we go in-depth in our discussion around all things pedagogy.In this Episode1:15 – Introduction14:20 – Classical Training: A different beast!20:30 – Advantage of experience in teaching37:04 – The greatest myth about the voice39:20 – The Invisible Instrument54:05 – Nonlinear source filter interactionFind Brian OnlineWebsite: https://gillmindfulvoicetraining.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gill_mindful_voice_training/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gillmindfulvoicetraining/For more go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/128Like this episode?
