54. Back by Popular Demand: arts cuts, audition burnout and performance anxiety

In this episode of Things Musicians Don't Talk About, Hattie and Becca chat from the cosiness of Hattie's new-ish house and perfect podcasting room. We have a candid conversation about the recent arts cuts and the precarity of freelancing, plus Becca's recent feelings of audition burnout, and how we've both experienced and dealt with (or not dealt with...) performance anxiety in the past.Join us as we break down the barriers and continue to talk about the things musicians don't talk about.(originally recorded for Voices Radio) Click here for transcriptIf you've been affected by any of the issues mentioned in this episode, head to our Resources page for further signposting and support.Support usWant to support us on a regular basis?
