You know, this is a guest who I wanted on since I started this podcast, and I am such a fan. It is Haley Williams. A beautiful artist, an incredible singer, songwriter. You might know her from the band Paramora, but she's out with her third solo album, Ego Death at the Bachelorette Party. And she's just so special, and we had such a good time. And we're going to talk about a lot of stuff today. We're going to talk about working with David Byrne. We're going to talk about, you know, Wayne's world and how important of a movie it is. We're going to talk about being short, pros and cons. And we're going to warm up and warm down, because that's what a person does when they take care of their voice. But most importantly, we're going to start this podcast like we always do. We're going to talk to someone who knows Haley Williams and knows her well. And today we have Doug Peck. Now Doug Peck is a musical director, a teacher, voice teacher, if you will. He's also a trained musician and pianist, and he works with Haley to get her voice just right. And I know him in a very special way too. So let's find out what that is, and let's get Doug on the line. Hi, Doug.

I'm so excited to talk to you. Thank you so much for doing this. I mean, Doug, we could do an entire episode on your life, your talent. How did we meet? We met through our buddies, Katherine Hahn and Rashida Jones. Both their episodes are so good. We're two years ago at the Christmas season, we thought it would be fun to do some Christmas music together at Rashida's house. And you walked in and you're like, "Hi!" And we instantly found to a beautiful rapport. You so beautifully sang all the alto parts of all the Christmas carols we sang and I'll never forget you sang. It feels like the song is on some distant shore and we're the boat that's pulling away from it. Altos. Give it up for altos. Pour one out for altos. Well, I realized, you know, we were like, we want to put together a choir because we were feeling like we wanted to do something communal and for the community. And then Katherine said, I'm working with this incredible person named Doug. And then I realized much later, it was like saying, I know this woman named Julia Child, she's going to come and teach us how to make a chicken. Like, we had the best of the best. We're so lucky. Well, thanks, Katherine for introducing us. Speaking of Julia Child, Amy, let's get your head voice one. Okay, Julia Child. Okay, so Doug, what should I do? Thank you. Can you give us a good old acting class? And then show us a little siren from low in your range to high in your range, back to low in your range. Good. Really good. Can you roll your shoulders while you do that and keep yourself nice and cosy comfy? Oh, my God, my shoulders. And I forget. I have shown over the room so they can relax. Doug is a good shoulder rubber and not in a creepy way. No, no, creepy way. Never, never. It's iron on your shoulders. Oh, your shoulders out. Really good. My people are laughing. She's losing her voice. Actually, one of Haley's favorite warmups. Can you do? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Doug has a piano right under, I can't believe you have a piano. Doug has a piano right there. Amazing. This is the first on Good Hang. Someone has a piano right below frame. Okay, so this is one of Haley's. Okay, go
