In Living A Vocal Life, I interview vocalists of all genres, in different stages of their careers, from singers on the Billboard charts to those teaching the next generation. What do they have in common? They’re all performers with amazing stories to tell and experiences to share.In our conversations, you’ll learn what inspired them to become a singer, the challenges they've encountered, and how they’ve overcome them.

How a short 10-minute talk by Elizabeth Gilbert finally clarified my troubled relationship with music and the music business and why what I learned might be helpful to you too.
Elizabeth Gilbert’s talk helped me to see that career and vocation are not the same things. A career is not the beating heart of the true self I already possess. It’s a part of my life, but only a part. Is the dance between career and vocation difficult? Yes. Is it worth it? Only you can answer that question after living into your own story, but I would say it’s worth a try.
