Welcome!
I'm Nicole Warner and I'm a classically trained mezzo-soprano. I'm an active soloist and small ensemble singer and I've sung everything from Bach's b minor Mass to Mozart's Requiem and from house concerts to funerals.
As a German speaker, you might have guessed I love to sing in German.

Possibilities (Podcast)
Earlier this year I took the Akimbo Podcast Workshop (definitely recommend if you have never podcasted and don't know where to start) and started a podcast for my German business.
One of the best parts of taking a workshop like that one is connecting with other people who are learning to podcast or have started podcasting and they come back to support the first-time learners.
Then sometimes you get asked to be on another podcast!

It's possible to compete because these things are perfectly measurable.
Measure something that's 5 inches in diameter, use mathematical formulas, build a robot, determine how to make dirty water clean again.
It's HOT right now. STE_M has been hot for years. Go on LinkedIn, any organization…
Culture vs. Entertainment
One of the main observations I've had since I moved back to the U.S. (from Germany in 2008) is this:
We live in a culturally poor culture.
There are a lot of bombastic experiences to be had here, you can go on a show that's all about "ninja warriors." You can go on national/international television and be lambasted for singing out of tune. You can be 8 years old and be called the next big opera singer.
(Aside: *facepalm*)
That isn't culture, though. It may include expectations, backgroun…
Would you like to keep in touch?
About once a month I send out an email with singing updates, funny anecdotes from rehearsals on the brink, links to the latest blog posts.
The newsletter is called "Nicole's Notes," pun intended.
