From a Whisper to a Scream
Soundcheck celebrates the American Music Festival with a look into the science of the voice. Can voices be regional? Is there an "American" voice? We'll also look into whether a good singing voice comes down to training, talent or strong vocal chords. Plus, we'll talk with a vocal coach with an unexpected focus, teaching rockers how to scream properly. Later in the show, a conversation with Stockholm based Norwegian singer/songwriter, Ane Brun. And finally, a preview of this Sunday's Bang on a Can Marathon, an 11-hour new-music festival, with Molly Sheridan, managing editor of Newmusicbox.org.
