Warming up isn’t just scales—it’s how you turn fear into flow.
In this episode of We’re Just Getting Warmed Up, host Drew Schrader talks with soprano Caroline Goodwin, a dynamic performer who moves effortlessly between classical repertoire, musical theater, jazz, and new music. From Gilbert & Sullivan roles to symphony solos and contemporary premieres, Caroline shares the backstage blueprint: how routines, rituals, and smart preparation help her step on stage confident and ready.
Together they unpack what great warmups look like (physically and mentally), why beginnings matter, and how to build personal rituals that work—whether you’re singing an aria, giving a talk, or walking into a big meeting.
