What Broadway Singers Wish You Knew About Mixing!

Thursday 28th August 2025, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

£30 - UK £30 - International

In this research-informed session, Regina McAllen presents findings from her two qualitative studies, which amplify the voices of Broadway performers as they reflect on how they experience, develop, and refine their vocal mix. The first study involved in-depth surveys with 36 Broadway singers, exploring their early vocal training, personal definitions of mix, and the factors that influence their voices in performance. The second, recently submitted for publication, builds on that foundation through interviews with seven of the industry’s most accomplished women, taking a deeper look at the psychological dimensions of mix, particularly its connection to confidence, motivation, and resilience, and how it is shaped by broader experiences of power imbalance, trauma, and sustained industry pressure.

Through selected excerpts from performer interviews and surveys, these investigations offer a rare insider perspective on how elite singers approach and experience their mix on the Broadway stage.

The session also details the unique research and recruitment process behind the studies, including how Regina secured a high level of participation from top-tier performers, offering valuable takeaways for researchers, teachers, and practitioners alike.

Ideal for vocal pedagogues, coaches, musical directors, and voice professionals, this class bridges technique and lived experience. By listening directly to those at the top of their craft, we gain more than technical insight; we gain empathy, nuance, and a deeper understanding of what true vocal resilience looks like in the high-pressure world of professional musical theatre.
