  • Great show for a sound nerds!

    Great storytelling with each guests. As a former CBS employee who worked "American Idol" at times, I really felt a personal connection to the episode with Randy Faustino. The stories took me back to being on Stage 46. Michelle is very warm and her enthusiasm with guests is palpable. I just want to jump in and join the convo.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lily Vakili Unplugged Sound, Music and Stores
Q: What does it mean to make the audience feel seen in your performance?
She frames live performance as an offering and a shared experience, where audience engagement validates the communal act of being alive together in a space, and where storytelling connects people beyond individual performances.
Lily Vakili Unplugged Sound, Music and Stores
Q: What is going on for you internally while you're performing live? Is your brain focused or are you letting go?
She explains that performing is the best feeling, being fully present with open portals, and that she watches the audience to understand the energy exchange, sometimes stepping into the crowd to maintain proximity and connection.
Lily Vakili Unplugged Sound, Music and Stores
Q: Can you tell us about your songwriting process? What comes first? Is it the idea? Is it the rhythm? Is it the lyrics?
Lily describes using prompts, letting ideas develop from imagery such as screen door and rain, then letting the guitar and phrasing guide the emotional direction, with lyrics sometimes pre-written but always shaped by the musical feel in the moment.
Carrie St. Louis on Broadway, Voice, and the Power of Sound
Q: How do those experiences differ for you as a performer, whether you're originating, joining, or ending a show?
Carrie describes the common thread of trust across all roles, with originating duties involving setting the rubric for future performers, while joining requires integrating with the existing cast and boundaries, and closing a show brings a sense of celebration and a final chapter that still honors the show's history.
Chatting With "Bat Boy" star Gabrielle Carrubba "Just in Time"!
Q: What was the audition process like for you and what was it like stepping into a lead role that quickly on Broadway?
Gabrielle details nine near-miss auditions, performing through illness, and finally being asked to start quickly, which launched her into a lead standby position and ultimately a broader on-stage presence.
