Taking some time off + Q4 calendar

Hello lovelies,

Kirk and I are taking some much needed time off this week, so aren't planning to host a live chat tonight.

Q4 calendar is incoming soon - still working out some details. One thing for certain: the next Masterclass will be on December 1st at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (12:00 noon in AZ due to the time change).

Thanks to all of you for your support! Many of you have been encouraging us to take some time, and I think it's a really good moment to reset.

How do you celebrate?

Let's discuss at the below times with Elizabeth!

September Patron Poll!

We're behind on all things. We're sorry about that folks.

Kirk here, getting the poll for September out to you all. We realize we've missed the mark on recordings lately (we like to have 20-25 videos queued up in YouTube. We currently have 4) so we're racing to get things in a better situation.

We do have Alison Krauss & Union Station, Pretenders and Concrete Blonde to film, which we'll tackle "Bloodletting" today to get it out in October. The other two are coming, I promise.<...

Wednesday Night Patron Chat!

Hello lovelies, Kirk here.

Is it weird I called you all lovelies? Yeah, it's disturbing me too.

Elizabeth's not feeling good. Is it stress? Yeah, probably. Is she getting better? Yes. We've had some late nights, early mornings and additional shifts, but she's getting better.

Want to know more?

I'm going to host tonight's live chat. We'll do an "Ask Me Anything" to the man behind the scenes. Will I spill all the secrets? Not all of them, but I do happen to be a ...

Canceled: Live Chat Today

Hello lovelies,

We just got news that my mom is rushing to the hospital with stroke symptoms. I want to be available for calls and updates, so will be canceling live chat today. Send good juju, please.

Tonight's Patron Chat

Hello lovelies!

I'm feeling really run down and exhausted, but I don't want to cancel our Wednesday chat again. So I'm going to let you do most of the talking this evening.

Tonight's topic is: what new technology do you love, and how do you use it?

I really don't want to put makeup on this evening, so I'll keep my camera off. Just an FYI!

Hope to see/hear many of you soon!

Bests,
Elizabeth

Virgin Rock!

I’ve recently fallen in love with Amy Shafer’s YouTube channel, Virgin Rock. I love her optimism and delight and feel that she’s a kindred spirit.

I reached out to Amy to ask about help getting word out on our Kickstarter, and she published this lovely video today:

Live chat today - Kickstarter celebrations + Gratefulness

Hello lovelies,

Our live chat is scheduled for 1:00PM Pacific Time today, and we're gonna be celebrating!!

The Kickstarter campaign is currently at $214, 089 - about 20k shy from reaching minimum funding, and steadily climbing. This wouldn't have happened without you, so I think we need to take a moment to be grateful for each other and the community.

I'd like to ask y'all to come to live chat today with 1 thing you'd like to share that you're grateful for. Bonus points if i...

IT'S COMING!!!

Hey all, Kirk here.

Did you know that this Patreon community helped fund the pilot study of vocal research with Will Ramos? That's right. All of you here supporting Elizabeth and The Charismatic Voice helped make history. We currently have 5 research papers in various stages of publication, 2 documentaries and genre defining data that shows harsh vocalizations do NOT do harm. It's because of you.

I've been hard at work building out the Kickstarter for Vocal Research this past ...

Tonight's Live Chat

Hey all, Elizabeth here.

I picked up something on our Disney trip this weekend, and I'm feeling really under the weather. I'd love to hop on and talk about the Kickstarter launch next week, but I just don't have the energy right now.

I'm super sorry. I'll release some info later this week here, as well as info on the 6 hour YouTube live stream on Tuesday.

Today's Live Chat - Listening Party

Hello lovelies!

Today's live chat will be a listening party with music set by Voyeurs and Bladesingers (some of them!) I'll do my best to get through as many as I can.

Real time feedback. This is going to be fun! I hope you all can come, but if you can't, I'll record the session and post it later!

Massive apology to all!

Lovelies,

To those that have been in Patreon for a while, you might have seen some UI changes in recent months. I for one on the creator side have seen a wide shift in the community messages tab, including how things are filtered, etc.

I lost a lot of messages from many of you, which I'm trying to fix and figure out. I'm going through the remaining outstanding messages I have today - but know that you're all not forgotten!

If you have an outstanding message that I...

August Patron Poll!

Hello lovelies!

Halloween is coming, and I always like to get my holiday videos in early. This year, we have what looks to be a wide array of crazy cool songs. Or so I think!

You might know all of these, but if you don't... there's a super cool playlist at the bottom of this message. Watch through the videos before casting your votes!

Tonight's Patron Chat: No, I didn't take pictures of my feet.

Hello lovelies!

So if you've seen in live chat or on Threads, I accidentally kicked a cactus in the night and thought I broke my toe. Turns out, I had a cactus needle embedded deep through my toe. Xrays didn't show anything, but there was definitely a foreign object in there!

I just had it surgically removed this afternoon. The doctor was very adamant due to there being a preliminary infection that I keep my foot elevated above my head for the next 24 hours. Thus, I cannot hos...

Listening Beats party - August 7, 2024

Here's the recording from our Beat Saber session turned listening party last Wednesday. Thanks to everyone for the submissions! While it felt quite fast to blaze through some of these songs and have only a few minutes of conversation afterwards, I also like that we were able to hear more (and I love the chat during songs too). Super enjoyable. :-D

I'm thrilled to announce that we're relaunching Demystifying Singing, my vocal foundations course. You can learn more about this course on our website.

If you REALLY want to know about the course, I encourage you to ask your fellow Patrons here or on Discord. I've been honored to guide many through this intensive program.

I've edited, honed and re-honed Demystifying...

Tonight's Live Chat - Listening Party!

Hello lovelies!

So I busted my foot, and it's still healing. It means Beat Saber just won't happen. So I took song suggestions from our Voyeur/Bladesinger patrons and will be listening through that playlist tonight, providing real time feedback.

I hope to see all of you there! If you can't come, I'll record the session and post it later.

We missed getting this poll over onto Patreon. Releasing the Kasey Chambers video today, I realized I don't have another Patron video in the queue!

Please watch the playlist before voting on July's selection. I hear there's some great choices here!

Live Chat This Week

Hello lovelies!

Live Chat this week is going to shift to next week (we'll have the Wednesday AND Friday Live Chat sessions next week). We had a snag with a software update to our course migration, and I'm focusing a lot of attention on that today.

Which means my recording day will be tomorrow. 6-7 hours of intense listening and recording on top of a 2 hour patron chat listening to more music is too much for my ears.

Kirk will post a message later this week to Voyeurs and B...

Today's Live Chat - Listening Party!

Hello lovelies!

Today's live chat will be a listening party. I've got 11 submitted songs from the voyeurs and bladesingers that I'm going to listen through and provide feedback on (this is in replacement of last month's Beat Saber).

I've had some back issues of late, and trying to rest it a bit so it doesn't tweak again. I think Beat Saber might be too much stress to put on those nerves, so a listen party felt like the better option!

I will be recording the session and Kirk ...

TCV Patron Calendar for Q3 of 2024

Every time I create a quarterly calendar, I am in awe of all of YOU. This is such an active and positive community. Thank you to everyone for bringing more joy into the world every time we get together.

Please shout out a huge THANK YOU to our community managers and Kirk for organizing many of these events.

Keep in mind that all times are in MST (Arizona Time), which is currently equivalent to Pacific Time/PDT. Arizona doesn't seasonally go bonkers and shift ...

Kickstarter Campaign Advice - Your Answers Needed!

Hello lovelies!

Thank you to everyone that joined the live stream yesterday. I gained a lot of insight into where many of you are at, and how pumped you are for the next phase in vocal research!

WE NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE ATTEND!!!

Calling all patrons,

To those who have been around for a bit or a while, you might know that we're at the front of vocal research into distortion and harsh singing - and produced/released 2 documentaries with Will Ramos on the subject.

And we're looking to expand that research next year.

In September, we'll be releasing a crowdfunding campaign to help make that dream a reality. We're getting 501(c)3 status (non-profit for the fund) and will be using Kickstarter as our...
