Student Spotlight: How I Got to Know my Voice Through Singing Lessons

What happens when a singer steps into the spotlight to share their lessons learned? In Ep.180 ‘Student Spotlight’ feature, singing teachers will understandwhy singers might seek us out in the first place, what their expectations of lessons are, and what helps and hinders them. In this episode, we welcome Jackie Pryce, one half of the musical duo Maud’s Dog, understanding her journey from Gosport to The Troubadour, how singing lessons have transformed her technique, what was important for her to find in a teacher and how those open questions really feel.
