Description
This week on A Voice and Beyond, we are very honored to have Lyndia Johnson as our special guest on the show. This is part one of a two-part interview with Lyndia, who is known in the Music Industry as “MzLyndia.” MzLyndia is not your average singing teacher and vocal coach. From touring with major artists to collaborating with music producers, she has spotlighted the need for vocal artist development in the music industry for over 25 years. Her celebrated abilities as a vocal coach and in artist development are highly respected. She has served on the Board of Governors for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, as a vocal consultant and clinician for MusiCares, and was one of the original architects of the Grammy’s Vocal Camp. Her relationship with the Recording Academy has been a long-recognized and well-respected collaboration.In this interview, we delve into Lyndia’s vocal journey as she shares with us that her career success as a well-established opera singer was based on a unique combination of years of operatic study and growing up being influenced by the voices of Aretha, Gladys, Etta James, and Mahalia Jackson. Lyndia later transitioned her career to become a highly sought-after vocal coach among Pop, R&B, Gospel, and Musical Theatre artists who desire to brand and transform their voices.Lyndia also offers a service uniquely intended for Producers and Recording Artists. In the recording studio, Lyndia’s role as a vocal coach is not only to solve any vocal problems that occur in the recording session but to work alongside the record producer to help enhance the singer’s voice and to ensure the producer can capture the best tone/timbre and vocal delivery possible all while avoiding costly delays. According to Lyndia, this gives the producer the freedom to create a highly marketable and vocally attractive finished product that can then be sustainable for touring.This is a most fascinating interview with Lyndia Johnson, one of the music industry’s most acclaimed vocal coaches. Remember this is part one of a two-part interview and part 2 will be released next week.In this Episode2:35 - Introduction8:32 - MzLyndia's Journey10:22 - Opera training and cultural identity19:27 - MzLyndia reflects on losing her voice23:06 - Learning Voice Science28:49 - Music industry, voice coaching, and legacy36:49 - Artist uniqueness in live performances vs. recordings49:47 - Voice coaching and artist developmentFind MzLyndia Online:Website: https://www.sterlingvoicecoaching.com/about Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lyndia.johnson.94/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mzlyndia/Twitter: https://twitter.com/SterlingVoice LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lyndia-johnson-59504028 For more, go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/138.Like this episode?
