"At 16, (In 2013) I performed for a Voice Box Session and was struck then by the attention to the songs, and production that was behind the scenes. I'm not sure I've ever played to a crowd and camera that's been so quiet and engaged. On top of that, having an open mic adjacent to a performance is such a great tradition and one that helped spur me to host my own open mic, now 8 years running!"

Voice Box Sessions - History
Launched in December of 2012, RPM's Voice Box Sessions features established and emerging singer-songwriters and musicians.  The Voice Box Sessions provide a warm and supportive environment for established and emerging artists of all ages performing original work. 

VBS 2021!
VBS is offered to Copper Country students in grades 7-12 (free of charge). Six Voice Box Sessions will take place between April and September 2021 at the Keweenaw Storytelling Center.  The series will provide enrichment for the community and performance opportunities for students.  Through the course of the program, students will be mentored by an array of performing arts professionals including: musicians, singer-songwriters, and a vocal coach.  Students also have the opportunity to gain experience in audio production.  


Rebecca Glotfelty, Executive Director of Real People Media, says "The Voice Box Sessions are a wonderful way to allow people to express themselves artistically in a public forum, and the program is another avenue for Real People Media to fulfill our mission of Giving Everyone a Voice."  ​
