Speaker 1: Pushkin me, that's my favorite. Hi. I'm Eric Vietro. I'm
Speaker 1: a voice teacher and a vocal coach to some pretty
Speaker 1: famous and successful artists such as Arianna Grande, John Legend,
Speaker 1: Sean Mendez, Camila Cabello, Rosalia Chloe. You get the picture. Now.
Speaker 1: I know they're stars, but to me, they're my students
Speaker 1: and they're my friends, and I really love them because
Speaker 1: they're like my family. I'm always getting asked what are
Speaker 1: their lives really like? How much do they have to train?
Speaker 1: And really how much do they have to practice to
Speaker 1: sing their best well. In my new podcast from Pushkin
Speaker 1: Backstage Pass with Eric Vietro, you'll get to find out.
Speaker 1: I'm inviting you into my music studio to hear how
Speaker 1: these artists prepare both mentally and physically to reach their
Speaker 1: full potential. You'll hear Shawn Mendez tell this story about
Speaker 1: the first song he ever performed for his family. Pretty sure.
Speaker 1: My mom was crying and everyone was crying, and I
Speaker 1: was like wow. John Legend analyzes aspects of his favorite
Speaker 1: falsetto singers. I think Prince is obviously one of him,
Speaker 1: and his is a little like funky. I just won't
Speaker 1: you time, he would do a little more cry in
Speaker 1: his voice, a little more like shriek, and it's a
Speaker 1: little more like dangerous sounding. You'll hear Ariana Grande explain
Speaker 1: one reason she works so hard. I always had a very, very,
Speaker 1: very picky, sensitive ear, and it's kind of made me
Speaker 1: into a perfectionist. And backstage pass, I'll talk to stars
Speaker 1: about their singing process, their careers, and how they balance
Speaker 1: it all in their day to day life. Maybe maybe,
Speaker 1: but the truth is, building a really big career is
Speaker 1: not always easy. And backstage Pass you'll hear conversations about
Speaker 1: the challenges these singers have faced when they were just
Speaker 1: starting out. It was so complicated for me to let
Speaker 1: them know that I was really really serious about this.
Speaker 1: You know that I really wanted to be a musician
Speaker 1: and just to leave making music, you know what. Let
Speaker 1: me just be out there and be me, Let me
Speaker 1: just keep it simple, let me be completely and unapologetically myself.
Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to do, and that was
Speaker 1: I think one of the hardest performances I had to
Speaker 1: do to get the ultimate behind the scenes experience. Listen
Speaker 1: to backstage Pass with Eric Vietro from Pushkin on the iHeartRadio, app,
Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
