In the third episode of the IIMS Song Series, we speak to West End and Broadway star Fra Fee.
We discuss his musical upbringing in County Tyrone, singing in Ulster Youth Choir, and training his voice classically. Fra also tells us how his appearance in Tom Hooper's 2012 blockbuster 'Les Miserables' changed the trajectory of his career. We also explore "belting" in the context of vocal training and the importance of "vocal rest".
