Vocal Unrest

By: Rachel Robinson
  • Summary

  • Everyone, at some point or another, has been told that their voice does not deserve to be heard. On Vocal Unrest we will explore our relationship with our voice. We will delve into each guest’s opinion of their voice, how that opinion was shaped, and how they either embrace or resist their voice on a daily basis. The aim of Vocal Unrest is to explore how negative or positive opinions of our voices are created, with the ultimate goal of empowering guests and listeners to work against any negativity and reach their full vocal potential.

    Dec 31 2020

    Deborah Del Mastro is a Bay Area singer, voice coach, actress and musician whose career has spanned from playing trumpet and singing in the US Navy Show Band (Treasure Island), studying Italian Opera in Italy with Maestro Carlo Bergonzi , singing Motown, R&B and Rock in 5 Bay Area bands, and concertizing with Jazz and American Songbook orchestras, to becoming a professional actress onstage in Musical Theatre and Musical Comedy, filming, touring and recording with many TV and film stars. Kaye Ballard mentioned Deborah in her memoir! (*pgs 159,163)

     In the theatre world, Deborah has been best known for her work as Sr. Robert Anne in the well known "Nunsense" series where she originated the role of Sr. Robert Anne, the Brooklyn Nun, and toured, filmed and recorded the last 6 "Nunsense" shows, including her one Nun show “Sr. Robert Anne’s Cabaret Class” which Deborah premiered and recorded. . Other favorite roles are Margaret Johnson; "The Light In the Piazza", Willows Theatre, Patsy Cline ; "Always, Patsy Cline", The Ordway Music Theatre St. Paul, Vera Simpson: "Pal Joey", 42nd Street Moon SF, Mrs. Wilkinson: "Billy Elliot", Woodminster Oakland and Gladys Calhoun: "Memphis", Berkeley Playhouse.  

    Offstage, Deborah has taught voice, drama classes and trumpet for over 3 decades and is continuing now online! She also plays trumpet in the orchestra for many Bay Area theatres and loves being in the pit as well as onstage. In 2020, she sings and plays trumpet with The DrD Band, The Mixed Nuts Band and has formed her own Solo show (with friends!): Hipster Cocktail Party which performs online and in safety-protocol led live gigs. For more info on teaching and performance check out DeborahDelMastro.com .

    At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, Deborah was in a powerful production of "Memphis" at the Julia Morgan Theatre which closed early and she is deeply aware of how blessed she has been to perform onstage. One thing has rung true throughout Deborah’s life and career - the connection and creative flow of life through music and theatre. In performing and teaching. Art is life. Music is therapy and the connection we all have within ourselves and others through experiencing music and art is fundamental and Holy. During this pause time of Covid, Deborah’s been inspiring others to find their voices and sing! And she’s been gardening ~ but mostly she is living happily ever after with the love of her life, drummer and partner extraordinaire, Paul Cicco.
