About This Podcast
Welcome to Yap Sesh—your go-to podcast for the art, science, and practice of the speaking and singing voice.
Hosted by VoiceProEd co-founders Anna Diemer and Maurice Goodwin—a voice teacher and a speech-language pathologist—we’re here to yap about the lessons we’ve learned as growing voice clinicians, with the occasional hot take on professional voice training.
From science to technique to the weird and wonderful quirks of the human voice we cover it all—no stuffy lectures, just good conversation.
So get ready to warm up with us (your vocal folds, obviously) and settle in. Welcome to Yap Sesh. 🎙
