YouTube Music Workshops In Nashville

I was forwarded a great piece of information from the Tennessean this morning by my ever-so-cool wife. It’s a story by Nate Rau. In it he writes about the information he received from the folks at Google who are planning to have workshops in Nashville specifically for the music industry. The workshops will apparently concentrate on the features artists should take advantage of using YouTube.

I agree that these workshops are needed. I still run into independent artists all the time who don’t take advantage of this great technology and way to get music out there to the masses. I have emailed the YT Music folks and hopefully I will see you at one or all of these workshops. If you need help in the meantime getting your YouTube accounts loaded up with great music content, feel free to contact me directly and I will help you out.

Inside Vocal Tips from a Vocal Coach to the Stars

Gary Allan and Dr. Garrett

Vocal Tips From Experience

There was a time when a singer’s voice disorders were mainly about crisis management. But recently, preventative treatment has become important, especially in Nashville, where the voice is one’s moneymaker.

“For many years when we saw an artist, it was very hush-hush,” said Dr. Gaelyn Garrett, Medical Director at the Vanderbilt Voice Center and an Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology. “It was literally taboo to think something was wrong or say that something was wrong. Artists were scared. If they weren’t working, they weren’t getting paid, their band members weren’t getting paid, their agents weren’t getting paid … The list went on and on.

“But I think the labels now all recognize that it’s like professional sports — a knee injury is going to take out a football player as much as a voice injury is going to take out a singer,” added Garrett, whose clients have included Country stars Gary Allen and Josh Turner. “It behooves them to proceed with some preventative management.”

Besides the more serious vocal ailments that can occur, day-to-day problems with one’s voice can be common. Often, these nagging vocal issues stem from a number of factors. Read more →
