Join Delano Mendoza (music director, actor, singer, voice/acting teacher) & Margo Mikkelson (music director, singer, actor) as they spill the tea on all things MT. Think of this like a vocal class, an acting coaching, a leadership coarse, a music directing mentorship, and an entertaining storytime all wrapped into one show. There's a little something for everyone! Along with sharing from our own experiences, we will have guests from all over to discuss important topics that come up in the audition and rehearsal rooms. Don't worry, there's enough tea to go around.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T18:17:03.301611+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-tea-md-7868351"},"episode":{"title":"The Ensemble Sound (Pt 1) - Leadership","slug":"the-ensemble-sound-pt-1-leadership","published_at":"2026-05-19T01:42:11+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-tea-md-7868351/the-ensemble-sound-pt-1-leadership","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-tea-md-7868351","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/whatstheteamd/2837518","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/387189/2837518/whatstheteamd/2026_05_19_01_32_58_048d37cd-24b6-4956-8aad-3278fadf69a5.mp3","summary":"Most music directors GUSH over a tight, clean ensemble sound. So what goes into making that happen? Before we get in the weeds over the technical aspects of teaching and directing the ensemble, we gotta talk about leadership. We work with humans, not machines, and that should be the heart of everything we do. Have a seat, grab some tea, and let's chat.","meta_description":"Most music directors GUSH over a tight, clean ensemble sound. So what goes into making that happen?
