Pitchy or pitch-perfect, our voices hold power. In Average at Best, Astrid Jorgensen details her journey from introvert to stage star, converting strangers into united musical forces at her phenomenal Pub Choir events. She joins Lauren Elkin, author of Scaffolding, Art Monsters, and Vocal Break: a fist-pumping history of how female singing voices intersect with activism. Hear Sinéad Gleeson lead a full-throated conversation, then unleash your own vocal cords under the tutelage of Jorgensen herself.
