72. Pop/Rock Essentials: Vocal Technique, Audition Strategies, and the Magic of Blending Pop & Theatre with Matt Perri
Cynthia and one of her dear friends, the hilarious and talented Matt Perri, dive into the challenges and nuances of pop/rock in musical theatre. What makes it so tricky to balance authenticity with storytelling? How can performers bring the style to life while keeping their voices sustainable eight shows a week? Along the way, you’ll hear insights about vocal technique, audition strategies, and the magic of blending pop and theatre in ways that truly resonate.
Matt's illustrious career includes credits on over 15 Broadway shows, a Carnegie Hall debut with Austin’s Pride, and collaborations with stars like Bette Midler, Kristin Chenoweth, and Jessica Vosk. From Bandstand to The Sound of Music Live, Matt has done it all as a pianist, conductor, and music director.
A lot of musical theater singers we know get overwhelmed and confused with pop/rock music. Maybe you've been told that you "sound a little too musical theatre" when you've tried singing pop/rock music and you don't know how to fix it. Or maybe you've just heard a lot of conflicting advice! So, as people who have actually worked on a lot of pop/rock musicals, we're here to offer some expert guidance!
