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 Power of the Warm-Up","slug":"the-power-of-the-warm-up","published_at":"2026-07-14T08:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-tea-md-7868351/the-power-of-the-warm-up","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/what-s-the-tea-md-7868351","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/whatstheteamd/2987553","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/387189/2987553/whatstheteamd/2026_07_14_03_13_59_faebd3f0-9d36-4a11-8d8b-ea40a597d2e6.mp3","summary":"Group warm-ups are VITAL. We're not just telling people what to sing; we're building something bigger. And that's the tea. A well-executed warm-up sets the foundation for the ensemble (and the soloists) to build upon. It's laying the concrete before adding the framework. Join us for tea as we chat about their fruitful benefits and how we can go about incorporating them into our rehearsal routine. Do you have your tea with or without milk? You'll find out how Margo and Delano prefer their tea in this episode!
