The Voice is a Wild Thing Series #2: Taking the Cue from Within with Broadway Actress, Singer and Master Teacher Carolyn Mignini
“We have many lives, many great opportunities. And they don’t stop coming.”
Broadway and television actress, singer, and teacher Carolyn Mignini discusses her life and career through the lens of change and the freedom that can be found in making decisions, particularly those decisions that come from listening to inner cues of your deepest self.
She also talks about her love of singing, how the vibration of our voice opens us up to expansion, balancing contemplation with action, and how she has come to find that in order to find peace and fulfilment, you must first get to the centre of yourself.
