Previous Episode

Lizzy Clarke

Lizzy feels aggravated about imposter syndrome. Although, she would like to monologue on it more.

We talk about coming back to the artist grind after COVID, understanding and accepting audience validation, and learning to treat ourselves with kindness and compassion in the same way we as voice teachers do for our students.

Lizzy has been such an important part in my life as we were part of the elite 4 at the first music school I started teaching at. The group consisted of myself, Lizzy, Joanna, and Nevon. These three were some of the most supportive and influential people, not only in my teaching career, but also in my life. They challenged me, they comforted me, and they help me to see the kind of teacher I am and who I could become. I am forever grateful to all three of them!!

Aphrose

Aphrose feels like imposter syndrome likes to rain on her parade...

Not only as a performer, but also as a mother, and as a woman in todays society. We discuss the challenges that come from being a woman as well as a new mom in the music industry, the time she opened up for my all time musical hero, and our beginning days as voice teachers as well as the first time we met.

Aphrose, a.k.a Joanna, was one of the members of the original 4 at the school I started teaching at. The original 4 consisted of myself, Joanna Mohammed-Gonzalez, Lizzy Clarke, and Nevon Sinclair. These three, hands down, played a large role making me who I am today. I would not be the voice teacher I am today without them. And I am eternally grateful for all of their support over the years.

Enjoy my conversation with Aphrose :)
