Vocal Coach To The Stars Eric Vetro Discusses His Career
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Eric Vetro, one of Hollywood's premier vocal coaches who's worked on the likes of Elvis, A Complete Unknown, Wicked and Maria, to name just some of many. As you know, we like to shine a spotlight on those people who don't necessarily get the wider acclaim they deserve when it comes to their importance to the filmmaking process. And Eric is one of those people, so it was fascinating to get a little insight into his role, and how it changes from person to person, project to project.

Daniel Blumberg On His Remarkable Score For The Brutalist
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Daniel Blumberg, who might, by the time you're listening to this, have picked up a BAFTA for his incredible score to The Brutalist. It's Friday morning as we record this, so who knows what Sunday will bring (or indeed Oscar Night)? Regardless, Daniel has done an extraordinary job of providing the sonic backdrop to what is truly an extraordinary film. Edith was lucky enough to speak to writer / director Brady Corbett and one of his leads, Guy Pearce, a few weeks back, so do listen to that if you haven't already. Both go into great detail about the nuances of Daniel's work. But who better to really dive deep with than the man himself?

Soundtracking Everyman Film Club Live: Emilia Perez Special
We have another of our Soundtracking Everyman Film Club shows for you today, which we thought we'd share as a bonus episode to mark the extraordinary recognition the musical drama Emilia Perez has received. Landing a whopping 13 Oscar nominations, Emilia Perez tells the story of a Mexican lawyer who is offered an unusual job of helping a notorious cartel boss retire and transition into living as a woman. Edith was lucky enough to be joined at Everyman Broadgate by writer / director Jacques Audiard, Zoe Saldana - who plays the lawyer, Rita - and Clement Ducol and Camille, who collaborated on the music. Since Jacques doesn't speak great English, we also had translator Sophie on stage, so thank you in advance for you patience as first he gives his answers and then she relays them to us.

Gary Yershon On His Work With Mike Leigh
Our latest guest on Soundtracking is composer Gary Yershon, who joins us to reflect up 3 decades of collaborations with Mike Leigh, and more specifically Mike's latest movie, Hard Truths. Starring Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Michele Austin, and David Webber, the plot follows the plight of a depressed and nay-saying woman and the relationship with her jovial sister Chantelle. Gary is absolutely fascinating on Mike's process when it comes to both filmmaking and music - so this is well worth a listen.
