Welcome to “The Top Five!” A bonus, filmed episode of The Singers Talk that you can watch now on <a href="http://volume.com/">Volume.com</a>. This little sideshow allows me to speak with some of my favorite people about their top five favorite singers of all time. I’m interested on seeing what voices they gravitate towards, and what that may reveal about their own personalities.  My guest today is one of my best friends in the world, actor David DeLuise! Son of comedy legend Dom DeLuise. Selena Gomez’ father on Wizards of Waverly Place. And a guy who has been to way too many Grateful Dead shows.

Welcome to The Singers Talk podcast based on my book of the same name. I’m Jason Thomas Gordon (singer/drummer of the Los Angeles rock band Kingsize), and when I first started singing for my band, I couldn’t believe there was no resource to find out how singers do this brutal job night after night. For something that seems easy, it can be truly dangerous, often embarrassing, and when you’re lucky… absolutely glorious.&nbsp;
So, this is me, reaching out to some of the greatest, most iconic singers of our time, discussing the one the thing they’re never asked about: their voices! Never thinking this was going to be a podcast, most of the interviews you’re going to hear are the intimate conversations, as I write the actual book…&nbsp;
If you’re a music fan, you’ll get a backstage look at how your favorite vocalists approach what they do onstage and in the studio. Packed with amazing stories you’ve never heard before, you’ll also find vulnerable sides of their personalities you might never have expected.&nbsp;
And if you’re a singer, trying to train, help, heal, or even find your voice — you’ll learn how the best in their field keep their vocal cords in shape, how they protect themselves on the road, and countless other tricks, strategies, and philosophies…
Not a technical podcast in any way, The Singers Talk celebrates the people who stand up in front of that mic, reach down into their guts, and give everything they’ve got for the sake of the song. Sometimes it’s bloody. And sometimes it’s bloody hilarious.&nbsp;
