Hello, I'm Stephanie B from Career Makeover Academy and today I'm here with Marilyn McNeal.
[Music: I never really wanted you to think that I didn't even care]
An amazing musician and artist that I have grown to know and love.
[Music: I never really wanted you to think that I didn't know that you were there]
I met her through her Youtube channel.
Which I think that you guys should totally check out.
Her inspiration is American roots.
She's a musician who embodies the Indie Folk music spirit.
And, I would just like to say, Hello Marilyn!
How are you doing today?
I'm great I'm super excited to be here.
Thank you so much.
I can't tell you how excited I am to have you here.
You know that I've been a fan of your music from day one.
When I saw your channel.
I have to say, you're music is so inspiring.
Thank you.
I really appreciate that.
That's one of the things I love about Youtube.
I find that each platform has it's strengths and weaknesses and Youtube...it encourages
comment and interaction in a really unique way.
When I find content that I really love, I love to take time to put in a meaningful comment
and let the person know.
And, as someone on the receiving end of that it means a lot and you can tell when people
are being genuine vs a thumbs up and an emoji.
Which is nice, you know, but I've appreciated your support and it really is encouragement.
Because it means that you've taken the time - just a few minutes - to jot down what you're
thinking and that is encouragement.
[Music: I knew I loved you.
I knew I loved you.]
And I think a lot more people should be aware of how powerful that Like button is and how
powerful those comments - those thoughtful comments - can be.
As far as inspiring an artist to know that their voice is being heard and that they're
being involved in people's lives.
And that their emotional content and inspiring them in some way.
[Piano music and vocalizations]
Music really feeds the soul.
I use music to kind of emote.
If I'm feeling down I listen to certain music.
If I'm feeling excited, but I want to bump it up a level, I listen to certain music.
And it really helps me to balance out my emotional levels.
That's one of the reasons that I particularly like your music.
It's sort of like where I go when I want a mellow space.
[Music and vocalizations]
Because, it's almost meditative for me.
When I listen to your music.
Tell us the name of your channel.
Tell us your project name.
Yeah, well, let me explain that.
Yeah, it's interesting because it's evolved.
That's one of the most interesting things for me.
So, I've been making music by guitar or singing for about 20 years.
I started recording...let's say in '98.
And I just had a laptop and I had the software I was using at the time was called Cakewalk.
I was able, I learned that I could record my voice and play it back and sing over and
sing over that and over that.
So, I got started in home recording early on.
And enjoyed it.
And, I've been doing it on and off for years.
And then last year right after the election.
There's so much rancor and energy it's just kind of a crazy energized time in American.
And I felt "What do I need to do for myself to take care of myself?
To feel grounded and centered?"
And then, I'm a professional instructor.
So, I enter the classroom and people are looking for me to structure this space, to structure
the time, and to support them in their learning journey, right?
So I've got to be...You know, if I'm feeling crazy that doesn't work.
And so, if I'm distracted or tired I notice that my presentation isn't as good and the
students are distracted and tired too.
Yeah, they're not going to be engaged, yeah.
They directly feed off of...I really set the tone.
So, I feel teaching is a vocation for me.
It's a wonderful thing.
I do it part time and I'm able to work on my music.
So I felt like I need to get this...I want to get my energy together for myself and also
in my professional role I want to be competent and provide the best that I can.
And so, that's the first time that I turned to music.
Really out of necessity rather than, you know, just enjoying it or exploring the guitar or
exploring my voice.
I really felt like I need to come back to this, I need to make a practice around it,
and work on creating music that helps me feel grounded and centered.
That's kind of cathartic for you.
Wasn't it?
It sounds as if it was the balm you needed to soothe the ailments at that time.
Absolutely.
Yeah, for sure.
And one of the things is I want on Youtube - sometimes I couldn't sleep at night - and
I was looking for calm, just like relaxing stuff.
And there's actually quite a bit of ambient music, but I found that I wanted to hear the
human voice.
And, so I couldn't find what I was looking for and I said, "Wait a minute.
I'll just do it myself."
Which is a beautiful thing about this era.
With a minimal capital investment someone can purchase a laptop, a few pieces of software,
and begin to produce.
And actually, you don't even need the laptop.
It's great.
And I'm grateful for it, but with a smartphone and apps, basically we have the ability to
express our feelings and publish it globally within minutes.
Which is astonishing.
Anyway, I was like, "Well, I have the ability and I have the need."
And so I started up.
The project is called Chantmagick.
I've kind of come up with an ambient electronic layer.
So, I'd use my little keyboard and be like [vocalizes a few notes] and then I would sing
a layer over that.
And then I would harmonize with that.
So, I'm not a...this is a deep instinct and ability in me.
Because harmony for some people is pretty difficult and there are many, many, many things
that I struggle with, but harmony is not one of them.
It's such a blessing.
So, if somebody sings a note I can sing a 3rd or a 5th or a 6th or a 7th over that.
And I don't know that, that...I don't identify it as such at the time, but I can find a complementary
note that sounds good.
So, I just was doing that and the process was relaxing.
I'd record, I'd edit, and then bringing it back to platforms - the past couple years
I would record something and I'd put it on Soundcloud and I just didn't feel community
there.
I mean, people would comment and like and share and that felt good but...it didn't feel
like Youtube feels.
So, one of the things as I move forward with new content is I decided, "Let's me make a
video for every song and I'll put it on Youtube and kind of see what that's like."
[Music: Coming out]
I shifted over there.
Every Chantmagick song is on Youtube.
I started using professional photos and video clips from Pixabay.
Pixabay is insane.
It's basically crowdsourced user content.
The people who contribute are kind of photography and videography enthusiasts.
The quality is super high.
And, i think they vet the stuff.
So you can't...there's nothing blurry, fuzzy.
It's really high quality content.
And, it's the best price ever.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Totally.
I discovered this resource, I downloaded stuff and I use iMovie.
So I bring in the audio, bring in the images and I just edit it together.
The initial chants are 1 minute, a minute and a half, 2 minutes, sometimes 3 minutes.
They're really short.
I think on my channel I have about 60 of those.
A bunch.
I would do a few a week.
I really got into it.
So then it evolved.
That's the cool thing.
And that's why I particularly like Youtube.
I feel like there's a big conversation among Youtubers and makers and creators that put
stuff there around growing and trying different things.
You know?
