WEBVTT - Introducing Backstage Pass with Eric Vetro

0:00:15.316 --> 0:00:33.116
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin me, that's my favorite. Hi. I'm Eric Vietro. I'm

0:00:33.156 --> 0:00:35.556
<v Speaker 1>a voice teacher and a vocal coach to some pretty

0:00:35.636 --> 0:00:39.716
<v Speaker 1>famous and successful artists such as Arianna Grande, John Legend,

0:00:39.996 --> 0:00:45.636
<v Speaker 1>Sean Mendez, Camila Cabello, Rosalia Chloe. You get the picture. Now.

0:00:45.796 --> 0:00:48.436
<v Speaker 1>I know they're stars, but to me, they're my students

0:00:48.476 --> 0:00:51.196
<v Speaker 1>and they're my friends, and I really love them because

0:00:51.276 --> 0:00:55.636
<v Speaker 1>they're like my family. I'm always getting asked what are

0:00:55.636 --> 0:00:58.476
<v Speaker 1>their lives really like? How much do they have to train?

0:00:58.636 --> 0:01:00.636
<v Speaker 1>And really how much do they have to practice to

0:01:00.676 --> 0:01:04.356
<v Speaker 1>sing their best well. In my new podcast from Pushkin

0:01:04.636 --> 0:01:07.556
<v Speaker 1>Backstage Pass with Eric Vietro, you'll get to find out.

0:01:08.316 --> 0:01:11.516
<v Speaker 1>I'm inviting you into my music studio to hear how

0:01:11.556 --> 0:01:15.476
<v Speaker 1>these artists prepare both mentally and physically to reach their

0:01:15.516 --> 0:01:19.236
<v Speaker 1>full potential. You'll hear Shawn Mendez tell this story about

0:01:19.276 --> 0:01:22.236
<v Speaker 1>the first song he ever performed for his family. Pretty sure.

0:01:22.276 --> 0:01:24.076
<v Speaker 1>My mom was crying and everyone was crying, and I

0:01:24.156 --> 0:01:28.556
<v Speaker 1>was like wow. John Legend analyzes aspects of his favorite

0:01:28.556 --> 0:01:32.036
<v Speaker 1>falsetto singers. I think Prince is obviously one of him,

0:01:32.516 --> 0:01:35.796
<v Speaker 1>and his is a little like funky. I just won't

0:01:35.916 --> 0:01:41.316
<v Speaker 1>you time, he would do a little more cry in

0:01:41.356 --> 0:01:43.796
<v Speaker 1>his voice, a little more like shriek, and it's a

0:01:43.796 --> 0:01:47.596
<v Speaker 1>little more like dangerous sounding. You'll hear Ariana Grande explain

0:01:47.716 --> 0:01:52.916
<v Speaker 1>one reason she works so hard. I always had a very, very,

0:01:53.036 --> 0:01:57.396
<v Speaker 1>very picky, sensitive ear, and it's kind of made me

0:01:57.436 --> 0:02:01.756
<v Speaker 1>into a perfectionist. And backstage pass, I'll talk to stars

0:02:01.756 --> 0:02:04.996
<v Speaker 1>about their singing process, their careers, and how they balance

0:02:05.036 --> 0:02:07.796
<v Speaker 1>it all in their day to day life. Maybe maybe,

0:02:09.196 --> 0:02:11.836
<v Speaker 1>but the truth is, building a really big career is

0:02:11.876 --> 0:02:15.756
<v Speaker 1>not always easy. And backstage Pass you'll hear conversations about

0:02:15.796 --> 0:02:18.116
<v Speaker 1>the challenges these singers have faced when they were just

0:02:18.156 --> 0:02:21.556
<v Speaker 1>starting out. It was so complicated for me to let

0:02:21.556 --> 0:02:24.516
<v Speaker 1>them know that I was really really serious about this.

0:02:24.756 --> 0:02:26.956
<v Speaker 1>You know that I really wanted to be a musician

0:02:26.996 --> 0:02:30.036
<v Speaker 1>and just to leave making music, you know what. Let

0:02:30.076 --> 0:02:31.916
<v Speaker 1>me just be out there and be me, Let me

0:02:32.036 --> 0:02:36.396
<v Speaker 1>just keep it simple, let me be completely and unapologetically myself.

0:02:36.796 --> 0:02:39.036
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I wanted to do, and that was

0:02:39.196 --> 0:02:41.476
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the hardest performances I had to

0:02:41.596 --> 0:02:45.436
<v Speaker 1>do to get the ultimate behind the scenes experience. Listen
