Interview With Hip Hop Culture Coach, Josuel Rogers – Part 2

February 5, 2020 by Jodi Krangle

This is the second part of my discussion with Josuël Rogers, a coach who uses music – specifically Hip Hop – to help his students and clients develop self-awareness and confidence. We talked about how music influences our moods (making a playlist for yourself can really help!), how personal sound can be and the power of words (among other things). You can find him at Hip Hop Culture Coaching (https://www.hiphopculturecoaching.com), if you’d like to learn more about the services he offers and the information he has to share.

In the second part of our conversation, we talked about:

Foley in film and the making of weather sounds
How your mind associates a type of sound with the weather
How the “filter” of a microphone changes sound
Hearing your own voice from a third-person’s perspective
Randomness and how that influences what we hear
How the same song can represent different moods for different people
How personal sound is
How we fixate on sounds we’re more familiar with (a drummer focuses on the drums in music, for instance)
The best kept secret about making playlists to help us experience the world in the way we want to
Repetition is key – words matter (“impossible” puts a block on things immediately, etc.)
Everything around you is a word
How a hockey coach learned to better coach his team through Neuro Linguistic Programming
Your brain not registering negatives
What he’s working on right now – coaching
More information about his podcast
Where his podcast can be found: podcast.hiphopculturecoaching.com – and on Apple, Spotify, etc.

Interview With Hip Hop Culture Coach, Josuel Rogers – Part 1

January 29, 2020 by Jodi Krangle

This is the first part of my discussion with Josuël Rogers, a coach who uses music – specifically Hip Hop – to help his students and clients develop self-awareness and confidence. We talked about how music influences our moods and what got him into the Hip Hop culture in the first place (among other things). You can find him at Hip Hop Culture Coaching (https://www.hiphopculturecoaching.com), if you’d like to learn more about the services he offers and the information he has to share.

In this first part of our conversation, we talked about:

His introduction to Hip Hop music and its culture and why it drew him in as a teen (hint: think rebellion! 🙂 )
How he uses the philosophy, the mindset and the sounds behind it to influence moods.
How building a playlist of music like a DJ can make your day better
An article he wrote about music influencing how people see the emotions on other people’s faces. (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-motivation-mood-headphones-josu%C3%ABl-rogers-/)
How a smile is contagious – and audible in your voice
Neuro Linguistic Programming – how the words you use influence yourself and the person you’re speaking to
How he applies it in his own coaching
How he builds his workshops for students
The tone of your voice and connecting with others in both voice over and music
The tempo of music and whether or not faster means “happier” or something else
How music can change the “feel” of a scene in a film (I also spoke about this extensively with John McClain in our interview, if that subject interests you – https://voiceoversandvocals.com/blog/casinos/interview-with-john-mcclain-part-1/ )

My Interview With Clara Lehmann & Jonathan Lacocque of Coat Of Arms Post

October 29, 2019 by Jodi Krangle

It was a true pleasure to talk with Clara and Jonathan about their creative process, how they work together as a creative couple and find time to figure out their work / life balance.

I’ve spoken about Lullaby Theories in a previous podcast but they’re also working on other projects such as Born In A Ballroom, titles for South by Southwest & videos for WebMD. More information on what they’ve done in the past and what they’re currently working on can be found on their Coat Of Arms website.

I have no doubt they’ll continue to create stellar video work for both clients and themselves in the future.

I think you’ll find this conversation particularly inspiring if you’re a creative that’s pulled in a lot of different directions. Listening to how the two of them handle their busy lives and keep their critical inner voices from sabotaging them, was definitely helpful to hear.

Thanks for listening!

Curiouser and Curiouser

Curioser and Curioser

How do you experience the world? Do you forget what it was like to experience new things? To actually NOT know something? To want to discover more about this thing you know nothing (or very little) about?

When I was a kid, the Internet didn’t exist. At least, not the way it is now. I couldn’t just go online and look up stuff whenever I wanted to. I had to go to the library and … you know … read a book. I’m not looking down on the way things are done today. Quite the contrary. Information is at our fingertips – whether it’s online or on our phones or tablets. We just type a term into a search engine (who are we kidding. Usually it’s Google), and away we go. Information received!

But because information is so readily available, it’s really important now to check our sources. To be aware of our own biases from the start so that we don’t just find information that feeds our own beliefs – we find information that’s TRUE. And that’s also where curiosity comes in again.

So how do you find (and CHECK) your information? What sources do you use? And how do you keep your curiosity about the world around you? (I’d love to know your thoughts on this! Feel free to email me or join me in my Facebook community at https://www.facebook.com/groups/jodisilverlinings/ to start a discussion.)

Along these sames lines, I think you all know by now, that I love what I do. With voice overs, I’m able to help bring videos to life, audibly. And a lot of the mastery and magic that goes into animating these videos, fascinates me.

A company I’ve worked with in the past that does wonderful work for their clients, also creates art on their own terms. And I’ve been so very impressed by what I’ve seen from them so far. I’m talking about Coat Of Arms Post, run by husband and wife team, Jonathan Lacocque and Clara Lehmann. They’ve started to put together wonderful, bite-sized animated videos explaining science, with commentary from their 4 year old twin daughters – and it’s adorable, funny and very informative, all at the same time.

If you have small children and you want to help satisfy their curiosity about the world around them, these are wonderful videos to show them. If you don’t have small children, but you’re curious about the world yourself? These videos are still a fun treat. I love not only how matter-of-fact they are (Clara does a fabulous job both writing the scripts and doing the voice overs and Jonathan’s unique style of animation underpins it all), but also how lovely it is to listen to the girls as they discover and enjoy what their mom is talking about.

Have you forgotten what it’s like to be curios about the world around you? If you have, watching these videos might well cure you. Enjoy! (The website for Lullaby Theories is here – so you can watch more of them if you’d like!)

My Interview with Artist & D&D Enthusiast, Joe Nittoly

October 16, 2019 by Jodi Krangle

I had the pleasure of talking with my friend Joe Nittoly about his art, his enthusiasm for D&D (and how the two merge), along with how he overcomes those nasty critical inner voices many of us Creatives deal with. I think lots of people will relate to this very frank discussion.

If you’d like to learn more about Joe and his art (and how you can purchase some for your very own!), you can visit his main website at https://joe.nittoly.ca . But you can also find his Etsy store at https://gaminggeekshop.etsy.com and you can connect with him on Social Media via Twitter (https://twitter.com/pasiphilo) and Instagram (https://instagram.com/pasiphilo).

My Interview with Creative Coach, Christine McAlister

October 9, 2019 by Jodi Krangle

Christine McAlister (http://www.lifewithpassion.com), is an entrepreneur, business coach and the author of The Income Replacement Formula: 7 Simple Steps To Doing What You Love And Making Six Figures From Anywhere (you can read a free chapter of her book at http://lifewithpassion.com/freechapter). We had a wonderfully fun interview about how Creatives can get out of a funk, give themselves permission to have fun, and be kinder to themselves.

These are all subjects near and dear to my heart (and probably yours, if you’re listening to this!).

If you’re looking for a speaker who knows a lot about what it takes to overcome fear and push through to a fulfilling life, Christine would make an excellent one for your podcast or conference. And if you’re interested in working with her one-on-one, here’s some more information on how to do that: http://lifewithpassion.com/6-month .

I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!
