In this episode of 'This Is A Voice' podcast, Dr. Gillyanne Kayes and Jeremy Fisher are joined by singer-songwriter Ruth Royall. They discuss Ruth's diverse career journey, her pivot to become a prominent artist in the drum and bass genre during the lockdown, and her personal songwriting process. Ruth shares insights on the importance of collaboration in the music industry, particularly within the drum and bass community. We play an excerpt from her song "Help You Stay", created in conjunction with Technimatic, and she shares the story behind the song and its emotional resonance. We dive into how art and creativity work through collaboration, vulnerability, and personal experience for all of us, and we hear more about the communal and experimental nature of the drum and bass scene.00:00 Introduction to Songwriting and Creativity01:51 Ruth's Musical Journey03:37 Pivot During Lockdown04:34 Exploring Drum and Bass07:16 Collaboration and DJing11:02 Understanding Drum and Bass13:48 Help You Stay (song with Technimatic)18:44 Songwriting Process20:16 Dreaming a complete song24:17 Trust the word vomit26:51 Collaborative musicianRemember to subscribe to stay updated with "This is a Voice" podcast episodes, and share your thoughts and stories with us on social media!#ThisIsAVoice #drumandbass #vocals #songwriting Find out more about Ruth Royall on Instagram and TikTok (ruthroyallmusic)All Ruth's music is on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/68mfV6tyHCTHZrNWNbVXmu?si=imypgyElRYGjR75OX7nRuAOr iTunes: https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/ruth-royall/282081141You can find out about our Teacher Pathway for singing teachers, vocal coaches and choir leaders here https://vocalprocess.co.uk/teacher-accreditation/We've also got this ↓ For the best self-guided learning, check out the Vocal Process Learning Lounge - 22 years of vocal coaching resources (over 600 videos) for less than the price of one private singing lesson. Click on the link https://vocalprocess.co.uk/learning-lounge/learning-lounge-level-2-deep-dive/ If you want to discover if our singing teacher training programme works for YOU, message us - we can share the process for joining Cohort24. https://www.cognitoforms.com/VocalProcess1/TheAccreditationProgramme Get the One Minute Voice Warmup app here, it's got a 4.9star rating Appstore https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/one-minute-voice-warmup/id1212802251 Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.speechtools.warmup&hl=en_GB   Check out our Voice Journal, written with Rayvox's Oren Boder https://www.rayvox.co.uk/products/voice-journal?ref=VOCALPROCESS  Find us - follow us on the socials! ?
