JD Frizzell 2.0: Babies, Carnegie Hall, and Simple Tricks for your A Cappella Group | Ep 17

Welcome to this episode of The Choir Guys Podcast, presented by Endeavor Music Publishing! In this episode, we sit down with Dr. J.D. Frizzell to talk all things contemporary a cappella—from the thrill of premiering a new work at Carnegie Hall to the vocal techniques that define healthy pop singing. J.D. dives into the vocal colors that are essential for modern a cappella, debunks common misconceptions held by classically trained singers, and offers practical tips for flipping a choir from “choral” to “contemporary.” He also shares his insight on sound design for live shows and how state choral organizations can better support this growing genre. We hope you find our discussions helpful, entertaining, and applicable.
