Studying the song podcast with Korrie Yamoaka is now one of my favorite podcasts!
There is a lot of overwhelm everywhere right now but I see it especially in the arts — and I feel it myself.

Thank you Korrie for sharing this gift with us! What a tremendous resource for all the most powerful musical theater actor tools that forge a path toward paid gigs. I wish these kind of practical strategies were laid out so clearly when I was coming up!
From what to put in your audition book, to how to cut your bars, to the acting and “moment before”…you have hit so many crucial factors to get the call back and book the job 🤍
Apple Podcasts5Miami2SDUnited States4 years ago - Like a coaching on my phone
I have personally had the privilege of coaching my musical theatre work with Korrie and each episode feels like a private coaching in the car, or on my walk. She does such an amazing job explaining complex music and acting concepts in an easy to understand fashion. I have already started recommending this podcast to my students who are interested in musical theatre and will absolutely be including it in my curriculum planning.
Apple Podcasts5bsbaldermanUnited States4 years ago - She is fantastic!
What a wonderful podcast for Musical Theatre performers!! As an educator, I may abandon the textbook I use and just require students to listen to this FANTASTIC podcast! 💛
Apple Podcasts5TeaguemillUnited States4 years ago - All the tools for your auditions & preparation in one podcast!
Korrie is a generous fountain of knowledge. She genuinely wants to help you nail that next audition, but also celebrate your unique artistic style! In the short time I’ve been listening to this podcast, I’ve already gleaned so much wisdom that I’ve shared with my own voice students and have applied in my own personal development.
Apple Podcasts5MVCartwrightUnited States5 years ago - Legit coaching!
Wow, listening to Korrie’s podcasts has helped me focus my singing with intention. Although not a theater performer, her insight into the intention of performance resonates well for other venues. I just listened to the March 21, 2021 episode, The #1 Missing Ingredient in Your Rock Audition, and found myself saying “YES” throughout. Singers of all variety need to learn these techniques. Korrie is the real deal!
Apple Podcasts5SchuckfamUnited States5 years ago - Korrie is everything you want in a coach, mentor, scholar
Let me start first off by saying that Korrie has a warm rich tone to her speaking voice that immediately makes you sit up and want to listen. Her insight is invaluable and her effortless way of blending the psychological, physical, social, and visceral impact of a song and the artist essence “attitude” is spot on! If you want to under what means to give an “authentic” rock musical audition you need to listen!
Apple Podcasts5SusanJordanUnited States5 years ago - It’s a free coaching!
Jam-packed with so much knowledge. She’s honest, smart, and authentic. Love it.
