In this week’s episode, I sit down with Alicia Toner. Alicia Toner is a singer-songwriter, actor, and musician who has performed across Canada. Her single “Dangerous Home” can be found on Spotify. In our conversation today we discuss her experiences growing up playing violin and the shift from performing in the pit to acting on the stage, her training and how the theatre industry in Canada requires us to both broaden and deepen our skill sets at the same time, as well as her experiences in actor/musician shows such as Once and The Buddy Holly Story. We also discuss how she began working as a singer-songwriter, how the music industry and theatre industry are vastly different yet run parallel to each other, as well as the advice she would give other singer-songwriters looking to grow their music and the types of conversations she hopes continue to happen in both the music and theatre industries.
