What separates a talented singer from an artist who can actually build a career?
On this week’s podcast episode, I talk with vocal coach, singer, songwriter, and artist developer Patrice Peris about contemporary vocal technique, emotional performance, artist branding, music business fundamentals, and why independent artists need more than a good voice to succeed.
Patrice shares what she learned from her own path as a performer, how classical and contemporary singing differ, why live vocals do not need to be pitch perfect, and how simple daily habits can create real vocal growth.
She also talks about finding your authentic sound, developing a career mindset, thriving after cancer, and her journey into trailer music.
