This episode of With A Voice Like This was prompted by the arranging I am doing for 4-AM and an announcement of a new contest for original a cappella pieces. There is a lot of confusion about a cappella music and what it is and so I thought I’d spend an episode exploring some good places to find out more information about it and give you access to a couple of podcasts featuring a cappella music. So here’s the list of links from this episode:
First, the A cappella originals songwriting contest submissions accepted through June 15 at:
http://www.vocalitysingers.com/contest/index.html
The sponsors of the competition:
Vocality – A Colorado Vocal Ensemble
Virtual Voices – A company that helps sell your products on the Internet
Vocomotion – Recording studio and Labs producing products for A cappella singers
A cappella Organization
CASA.org – The Contemporary A cappella Society
A cappella Podcasts
A cappella Originals from casa.org
The Acapodcast with Chad Bergeron
And Finally, Listener’s Choice
This episode’s choice came from Kim Fenolio of Kimfenolio.com and the Girls Night In Podcast.
Kim sent in an introduction for Not Responsible by Podsafe Music Network artist Laura Clapp

I received an e-mail from Laura Clapp, the artist chosen for this episode’s Listener’s Choice and I got her permission to reprint here.
“Thanks a lot to Kim and to you for playing ‘Not Responsible’ on your listener’s choice segment. It’s always great to know people are out there.
Best,
Laura Clapp”
