SUTTON FOSTER I Best live vocals I Vocal coach reacts! (Pt.1)

[@magicallynathan5527]

when you find out the morning of that “gimme gimme” performance, Sutton’s voice was completely gone and her and her vocal coach got her warmed enough to perform!!

[@sarahjones1120]

Yeah, she literally couldn't make it through the sound check. Crazy.

[@camara1194]

that’s because her voice teacher is Joan Lader who studied under the late and great Jo Estill. Estill Voice Training saved my life

[@ClaireSamuelsVA]

For everybody wondering, she was 22 in the first clip

[@carlycchapman]

Yeah, I looked it up

[@macycardwell6285]

I LOVE that you said her belt is so "healthy" in gimme gimme that day because sutton herself has said that she was so vocally tired that day that during sound check she couldn't even speak but her voice teacher warmed her up on the phone and she has no idea how she made it through! She said she hadn't yet developed the technique and stamina for 8 shows a week.

[@unouni2548]

Do you have any tips to have a healthy speaking voice? Does it influence your singing in any way?

[@elinat2414]

I’m no expert, but I remember my choir teacher saying that it’s healthy to have the habit of breathing from your diaphragm most of the time, even if you are not singing. That will help keep your vocals healthy. Overall though, obvious things like speaking very loudly, yelling or talking for hours straight can tire out your vocal apparatus and impact your singing voice. However, if you speak at a normal frequency, pitch and volume, it shouldn’t impact your singing.

[@nancymcclymont2858]

I would add that whispering is more taxing on the voice than you might think

[@dayosinghs6299]

Sutton Foster is such a queen 👑

[@bossbabyirl]

I think Sutton was asked to play Eponine on Broadway but she took the job as the understudy in Millie instead!

[@kmf07302]

I think you're right...she did the your of Les Miz but chose Millie...

[@owenedwards118]

Sutton was an incredible Eponine I have never seen her really talk about her experience with the roll.

[@eaunan]

Below is Sutton Foster speaking about the "Thoroughly Modern Millie" performance you reacted to, which aired on the Rosie O'Donnell Show in 2002. SF is 27 years old: "...You know what’s crazy? We did that [performance] during previews, and honestly my voice was so fried that I couldn’t even get through the sound check of the song. I didn't have the technique or stamina yet for eight-shows-a-week - I was so green and so new. I remember my voice teacher Joan Lader warmed me up on the phone before because I couldn't hit any of the big notes during sound check. I thought, ‘This is going to be a disaster. I’m going to be flat on national television.’ And everyone was there: Steven Unger, my first agent in New York, Rob Ashford, Michael Mayer. But Joan warmed me up over the phone - and she’s the best there is - and she was able to get me there. I look back on it and there was so much fear. That was a big old fingers-crossed, please-dear-God, clenched-ass-to-get-me-through-it moment. It’s amazing people talk about it all the time and I’m like, ‘You have no idea!’..."

7:25 Sutton didn’t think she was going to be able to sing the song that day because her voice was so tired She said she couldn’t even get through the sound check because she wasn’t used to doing 8 shows a week And on a tired voice she was freaking incredible

[@caseydecaire6208]

Would love to see you dissect some Patti Lupone!! Evita, Meadowlark, the original Norma... There's a video of a concert with Seth Rudesky and she does the original "With One Look", no key change so it ends on an F5 I believe. Patti's voice is so freaking interesting! Natural mixer and so warm and rich, you barely notice when she pops a head tone. Just uncanny in how even her voice is

[@brandosbongos4855]

yooo patti lupone is definitely one of the best, i mean 3 tony wins speaks enough. but her power, especially in her prime, outstanding, jus maybe enunciate more(i mean from a vocal coaches perspective, but tbh, i think it adds more depth, like it’s a signature to her, one of my fav things abt her, can definitely tell when it’s her because of it)

I've been a fan of Sutton's for a long time. She was part of my inspiration for going into theatre. The fact that some don't even know she sings because they are like oh she is from that TV show. I'm like you have to hear her sing! But I got to meet her at Drowsy Chaperone. She is such a lovely person and so flipping talented. Also whoever made that compilation should get a slap on the wrist for cutting of the last astonishing. Love your insight as always ❤️

[@overthemoo]

I got to see one of Sutton’s tour performances around 2008 - it was amazing to hear her live! Side story: Someone who was a part of a show I had just done ended up being picked for choosing her “random” song. [ahem…] He picked wrong. 😂 He chose a very commonly performed showtune, but… damn, I no longer recall what the option was that I wanted to hear... “The Story Goes On” from Baby is coming to mind. It was definitely something lesser known like that. There are times when Sutton’s voice is a bit too much for my ears, but there is NO denying her skills. To have a tone like that and pull off everything she can? 🫨 She was definitely a vocal idol for me, but my tone isn’t the same so I had to recognize my limitations. “Gimme Gimme” is probably my Sutton-limit. My favorite was “Monkey on a Pedestal.” I believe I did a portion of that one for a soundcheck. (I got a kick out of doing songs that sounded odd out of context. “Out for Blood” from Carrie got the best reactions.)
