Sing Confidently, Live Creatively - Singing Tips for Musical Theatre Actors, Vocal Exercises, Vocal Technique, How to Sing Better
Hi performers! Welcome to the Sing Confidently, Live Creatively podcast, a show for professional and pre-professional performing artists who want to build confidence in their singing!
Are you intentionally pursuing a professional career as a musical theatre actor but your voice is not as powerful or reliable as you'd like?
Do you want to feel confident in your voice at auditions or on-stage, but don’t know how to develop your vocal technique?
Do you wish you could learn how to belt, mix, improve your vocal range, or sing riffs, but you don't know where to start?
I get it! Hi, I’m Estelle, a Professional Singer, Actor, and Voice Teacher in my online studio, Creatively Performing Arts. I also teach and music direct locally in North Carolina at various music studios and theaters!
I grew up performing, but everyone kept telling me to save the arts for retirement or the weekends. So after college, I went to medical school, thinking that was the safest path. But I realized I had those creative passions for a reason and couldn't stay in a career that hid my gifts. So, I decided to leave. Dramatic, I know, but I'm in theatre after all!
After I left medical school, I started a Masters in Music and Music Education at Columbia University (hybrid) and developed my voice intentionally while helping other singers along the way. I began to build confidence in my dreams and my voice beyond what I'd ever known!
I want to help you do the same - build confidence in your singing voice so you can live your creative dreams!
On this show, you will learn how to sing with more confidence, how to train your voice consistently, how to prepare your songs for auditions, how to belt, how to develop mix technique, how to breathe properly as a singer, and more!
You’ll get mindset tips to help you take action on your creative gifts in spite of imposter syndrome, self-doubt, rejection, and fear of what people think.
With incredible guests, from Broadway performers to a Latin Grammy award winner, to local theatre and music artists, and my own current and past experiences, this will be your one-stop shop for all things singing, performing, and creative inspiration! Plus, you’ll hear lots of fun musical theatre references!
Alright choir lovers and theatre-kids-turned-theatre-adults, this is your time.
Start singing with CONFIDENCE today!

Hi Singers! Today, I'm sharing why you should explore riffing and creating vocal runs even as a musical theatre singer. Why?
Because pop/rock influence is very prevalent in musical theatre these days, and riffs are popping up all over the place!
Technically, singers have been adding ornamentation to songs for forever, but we're hearing pop-esque riffs in musical theatre vocals a lot as well.
Does that mean you need to be the BEST at making up your own riffs? Absolutely not, but I'll share what you do need to focus on developing in order to feel confident singing riffs as a musical theatre performer. Listen in!
(p.s., I also share why musical theatre singing has been SO important to me and I share my own little musical theatre update - it's a little ramble-y at the beginning but we get into the topic at hand :).

You are a singer.
Do you struggle to call yourself that?
Do you struggle to call yourself a performer, an artist, a creative?
I've struggled with that myself and this episode is my reminder to you that if you are doing the work, you can claim the title. I also want to remind you to take your creative gifts and passions seriously.
