In the middle of Amelia's family, there's a silence. She wants to crack it open, so she starts learning to sing. 

Voice Lessons is a special feature from Signal Hill, a new, independent audio magazine. You can listen to more Signal Hill stories at www.signalhill.fm or wherever you get podcasts. Sign up to support Signal Hill through their membership program (there are perks!) here. 

Voice Lessons was reported and produced by Amelia Schonbek, with sound design and additional production by Jackson Roach. It was edited by Annie Rosenthal and Liza Yeager.
