In this episode, Rosy Dawn and I chat about switching between classical and contemporary vocal styles. The adults around town know her from the Rosy Dawn Band, and the kids know her as the executive artistic director and founder of Center Stage Children’s Theater and Thornton’s Youth Performance Ensemble. She’s performed with the San Diego Lyric Opera and has been a recurring Chorus member with the San Diego Opera chorus since 2004. All the while, she’s been a working singer on the gig scene doing everything from pop, rock, folk, jazz, and more. We discuss how we’ve transferred the concepts of classical vocal singing into our pop singing and other contemporary styles of music.
