Hi y'all,
Tomorrow we have two Patron events happening - both the live Patron chat and the Masterclass.
Live Patron Chat will be at 1:00-2:00PM MST (note that the U.S. hasn't changed time yet). We don't have a particular subject - just catching up!
-----------------------
Here are the deets for Patron Chat tomorrow:
Topic: Patron Chat
Time: Nov 1, 2025 01:00 PM Arizona

Hello lovelies!
Thanks again for a great 2M celebration - especially that part where I keeled over laughing because of the hilarious video that many of y'all helped do "research" for. :-D
We've put together a calendar of Patron events through January, hooray! Please give thanks to our community managers and Kirk for all that they do to keep things running.
Also, if you like gaming at all, stop in on a Friday sometime to hang out with Among Players. It's one of my favorite w...
2025-10-27 23:04:49 +0000 UTC View PostHere we go folks. Craziness has ensued and I've fallen behind again. This poll will run to the end of this week, and October's poll will begin this weekend.
Please watch through the playlist before voting on the songs below. You're voting for the SONG AND VERSION. Sometimes the version sucks, and should not be the first time Elizabeth's hearing these bands.
I hate having to do rework. Lookin' at you, Guns N' Roses.
Best,
Kirk

Hello lovelies,
There's a LOT happening soon, and one of the biggest is a new science course I cooked up with Dr. Amanda Stark of Throat Camera fame.
Next month, we'll be releasing a 20 part voice science course on a new platform that will be an introductory dive into how your voice works. I implore all of you to at the very least, sign up at the following link for more information as we release things in the coming weeks.
Hi all,
I'm working on the complete Q4 Patron calendar but want to give y'all a heads-up that I'm planning to stream on Twitch this Friday, listening to the Patron playlist. I'll start around 12:30PM (Arizona time = Pacific time right now) and wrap things up around 2:00PM.
Hope to see y'all there!
Bests,
Elizabeth
2025-10-08 22:39:49 +0000 UTC View PostHere's some more delightful tunes, chosen by some of y'all and analyzed live. Thanks again, everyone!

2025-09-25 03:33:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, Kirk here again.
I'm prepping things for Elizabeth to record today, and it's a LOT. That's good, right?
We're a bit behind due to sicknesses in the household, guests visiting, etc., that Elizabeth has to rebuild up the queue we had. This means the following:
We won't be able to film the Rocky Horror Picture Show analysis right now. This will be postponed for a little bit. Why do you ask?
Last year, "Sweet Transvestite" won the patron poll, and I said "whoa w...
2025-09-23 16:57:03 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
I'm catching up on a few things today, including posting recordings of our Patron Playlist Analysis on Twitch. This recording is from 8/1/2025.
I am LOVING getting to experience your choice of music in this setting!!! Much more to come.
Bests,
Elizabeth
2025-09-22 23:36:31 +0000 UTC View PostHi lovelies,
We’re still recovering from illness and I won’t be able to stream today. I didn’t even get my normal recordings done this week; thank goodness for a backlog buffer.
Luckily my mother came to visit and she’s been helping a ton. We should be back to normal by next week.
Side note: who else has become newly obsessed with WING’s beatboxing? It’s great to distract crying babies, and even more fun when Mama tries to recreate it and sounds like a toilet b...
2025-09-19 10:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostHi lovelies,
Our household has come down with some sort of virus and I'll be unable to host the live chat or masterclass tomorrow.
With Kirk and Mycroft in quarantine to try to protect the baby, I'm on full time Kaladin care... and I've got a sore throat now too. :-/ Please send healthy wishes!
We'll reschedule these as soon as possible.
Thanks all,
Elizabeth
2025-09-13 03:11:45 +0000 UTC View PostAlmost all caught up, y'all!
Here's the Top 5 most voted on from Discord for the Halloween video this year. Please watch the playlist BEFORE voting on the song!
(side note: I didn't have a chance to let y'all know, but Elizabeth has heard "Dead Man's Party" every night for the last 3 months as it's Mycroft's favorite song to dance to before bed. She might have some interesting things to say, but it will definitely NOT be her first time)
Best,
Kirk

Hey all, Kirk here
Guess what? This one was automated and released right after the last poll ended (or the next day probably). PROGRESS!
You know the rules. Watch the playlist, then vote on the song (or songs) you want Elizabeth to analyze. Understand that you're also voting on a VERSION of the song, so make sure you check that playlist, or you may be disappointed! (see Cindi Lauper reggae version)
Also, stop with the ties on Discord. It's supposed to be TOP 5!!!

This Saturday has some packed Patron time - both a live Patron chat (on Zoom) AND a Masterclass directly following (also on Zoom).
Here are the deets for both:
Live Patron Chat
When: August 23 @1:00PM MST (equivalent to 1:00PM Pacific Time right now)
Topic: TCV Update & AMA... we'll probably have a visit from an adorable 4 month old at some point too. ;-)

Omg, it's nearly September, and I'm posting this NOW?
Yeah, okay, I'm behind and I'm sorry folks. Just so you know, I SCHEDULED the next few polls so they're going to automatically release one after another. So keep your eyes peeled to this page!

2025-08-25 04:40:17 +0000 UTC View PostHello TCV Community,
Today we are excited to open YouTube memberships for The Charismatic Voice. I'm especially looking forward to how the possible perks will bring more fun interactions to our regular live premieres - more on that below.
We've considered YouTube memberships for a long time but had concern that membership offerings would conflict with our Patreon. We are so grateful to our Patrons and don't want to take away from your generosity and support. 2025-08-03 23:50:37 +0000 UTC View Post
Hello lovely Patrons,
Thank you to everyone for your continued support! We've been slowly bringing back more Patron and TCV events as family life with baby Kaladin allows. The planned calendar for Patron events in August and September are below.
A few things to note:
Patron Playlist Analysis (what used to be Beat Saber Playing/Analysis) is back starting tomorrow! See the recent post for more details.

2025-07-19 01:02:49 +0000 UTC View PostThank you!!!
We’re getting things going again and I want to express my gratitude to each of you for your support while I was out on maternity leave.
We’ll be putting out the Patron calendar through August soon, but for now I’d like to reserve Saturday, July 19 at noon in your schedules to meet baby Kaladin. :-) We’ll do an introduction, chat a little, and wrap things up before the Watch Party at 1:00.
I’ll post Zoom details soon!
With much gratitude,

2025-07-14 23:44:57 +0000 UTC View PostHello lovelies!
I'm back to work now, and starting some filming this week (no patron exclusives yet, but they're coming as soon as I can film more than 2-3 per week! Maybe in the next two weeks, something great will be here!)
For now, I have a large poll from May that needs some voting. Please make sure to review the playlist here to make sure this is the performance you want and are voting for! 2025-07-07 23:37:23 +0000 UTC View Post
Omg, I'm three months behind still! It's coming!
This is the Patron Poll from April, folks. We're a couple weeks out from returning to filming, and Elizabeth's slowly getting her mind back into things. Soon!
So let's stack the queue!
Please watch through the playlist to ensure this is the performance you want for each of the selected songs before casting your vote!
Best,
Kirk

Hey everyone, Kirk here!
Elizabeth's still recovering, and we're both in the midst of no sleep for going on six weeks now. But the newborn is super healthy!
We're going to return to filming content next month (just a few at a time) until fully returning in July. We have these patron polls stacked up, so I'm going to release one a week until we get there.
Best,
Kirk

Hello all,
No baby yet! We're still expecting any day.
Littlest one (baby boy #2) is doing well. All of his scans have been great, his heart beat has been extremely steady and in a healthy zone, and his movement is sometimes too awesome - his kicks can really hurt, but at least I never wonder if he's still there.
My health hasn't been the greatest due a combination of a brutal sinus infection + cough that didn't respond well to antibiotics and end-of-pregnancy body pains. Th...
2025-04-10 23:12:12 +0000 UTC View PostHello lovelies,
Tonight's live chat focus is GAME TIME! We'll be playing some Jackbox Games together. Which one(s)? That's up to you!
One small snag: I'm sick. The cold turned into a brutal sinus infection that isn't responding well to first dose of antibiotics. I sound and look icky, and I welcome company and game time to distract from being sick... I just probably will leave my camera off. So - let's still make this happen.
I invite y'all to bring a drink. 2025-04-02 22:48:53 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey all, Kirk here.
Elizabeth's getting geared up to do another live chat today on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/thecharismaticvoice
It will be another listening party. We have a list of 18 songs from patrons that have been put into a playlist, and E will listen to each one and give her feedback, thoughts, etc. It's a great time, and we hope you all can be there!
See you soon.
Best,

Hello dear Patrons,
Today's my birthday, and I want to celebrate it with you.
Our live chat today will take place from 2:00-3:00PM MST (which is equivalent to PDT right now). Check you time zone! With all of the time changing recently, I'm not quite sure how this applies to your various time zones.
I invite each of you to write a haiku for the occasion. This can be silly, sweet, snarky, or whatever you'd like!...
2025-03-19 15:57:49 +0000 UTC View PostHello lovelies,
Today's live chat will happen at 1:00PM MST... but check your time zone! Some people recently went crazy and shifted clocks. Why, oh why?!!
Our topic is "What Really Went Down in Utah." While we can't hope to capture everything in just one hour, there are tons of stories to tell. Come with questions, or just grab a warm drink and listen in.
Time: 1:00 PM Pacific Time (1:00PM Arizona Time/4:00 PM Eastern Time/8:00PM in London/9PM in CET but 7:00AM in Sydney). ...
2025-03-14 17:21:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everyone!
I got the files from Elizabeth and put together last week's live stream with Patron selected songs.
I hope y'all enjoy, especially those that missed it!
Best,
Kirk
This week marks probably the last week I'll be filming analysis videos until I get back from maternity leave. Next week we'll be in SLC doing vocal research with 4 of the artists.
I have the Patreon Poll results, and R.E.M. won the top spot. So I'll honor that, even though I am familiar with the song and already had it on my list.
Regarding the following options on the Patron Poll:
Skunk Anansie: I've already analyzed her on the channel, and while I want to do more, considering...
Hey all!
Tonight's live stream will be another listening party event. Voyeurs and Bladesingers have put together a list of songs for Elizabeth to listen to and analyze live on stream, and that's happening TONIGHT!
The festivities will be over on Twitch.
We hope to see you all there!

Hello lovelies,
Below is the poll for February. I've been so excited for the most recent winners that I can't wait to see what y'all pick here! I finally recognize ALL of these names (though two of them I haven't heard yet... so we'll see)
Remember: You can vote for more than one option, and listen to the entire playlist before casting your vote!
