Artist and documentary maker Sir Grayson Perry talks to his vocal coach and voice expert Juliet Russell about what it means to find your voice, and about the human urge to make music. Five years ago, Perry embarked on a mission to find his singing voice, and revealed it in a performance as Kingfisher on the TV show The Masked Singer. He and Russell talk about the power of emotional connection in performance, as well as what drives his creativity and curiosity. Perry, who won the Turner Prize in 2003, works in a variety of mediums but is best known as a ceramicist. He uses imagery and text to chronicle social concerns, his own formative experiences and to tell the story of his alter ego, Claire. Russell is a vocal coach, choir director and composer whose work spans the music, arts and entertainment industries.
