Bonus Episode : Listener Question

Author: Candice Shaughnessy January 13, 2021 Duration: 12:56

Hi Everyone, 

This episode is in response to an Instagram question I posed asking what people wanted to hear from me in the podcast. 

This question comes from my student Karla who asked, "What opera roles have you done, what opera roles do you want, and what opera roles will you do?"

If you want to pose a question for me to answer in the podcast please email me at candice.shaughnessy@gmail.com.

Ever wondered what happens when the final curtain falls and the singer steps off the stage? Opera N' Coffee is that quiet, insightful conversation that follows, hosted by soprano and educator Candice Shaughnessy. This isn't a lecture hall or a performance review; it's more like sitting down with a knowledgeable friend who's lived the artist's life, cup in hand, ready to talk about the real work behind the voice. You'll hear candid discussions that delve into the mechanics and artistry of vocal pedagogy-the how and why of singing well-alongside practical, often overlooked strategies for building a sustainable life in the performing arts. Candice explores the intersection of craft and career, tackling everything from technical vocal exercises to the entrepreneurial mindset needed to navigate the modern arts landscape. Each episode of this podcast offers a blend of professional insight and personal reflection, all grounded in Candice's own experiences. It’s for the curious student, the working singer, and anyone fascinated by the dedication behind the performance, making the often-intimidating worlds of opera and classical singing feel accessible, human, and endlessly interesting. Tune in for a unique perspective that you won't find in a textbook.
