The last time we did a Best Bits was 43 episodes ago! So here are three of our favourite episodes from the last 18 months (part 1)1. Vocal folds and hydration (S2 Ep9)  - why singers have to be careful how MUCH water you drink (with a real-life horror story) - different types of dehydration + research into hydration and the effects on your voice - And which country has a different idea of how much water is enough2. Songs, Lyrics and Life with Georgia Mancio (S2 Ep10). One of our personal favourite episodes, this is a deep dive with the excellent jazz singer Georgia Mancio - Having a vocal injury as a recording artist - Habilitating her voice with Gillyanne - Being a singer and lyric writer, and the influences in her lyric writing Plus excerpts from two of her stunning songs from the album Quiet Is The Star3. The Breathy-Light Archetype exercises from our This Is A Voice book (S5 Ep2) - For this new format in season 5 Gillyanne takes me step by step through exercises from the book for the breathy-light archetype- I demonstrate "Arthur the Rat" using the clear/strong and breathy/light archetypes - Gillyanne prods me to speak with different breathy-light versions - And we do it wrong - the pushed version that makes Jeremy go dizzy!Every podcast episode we do is different so choosing is hard!
