Dear Listeners,

Welcome to this episode of The Choir Guys Podcast! In this episode, we welcome multi award-winning singer, arranger, composer, and vocal percussionist Rob Dietz to The Choir Guys Podcast. With over twenty years in contemporary a cappella, Rob has worked with some of the biggest names in vocal music, including Pentatonix, The Swingles, VoicePlay, and Kings Return. His work has appeared on NBC’s The Sing-Off, Glee, America’s Got Talent, and more.

We talk about Rob’s journey into a cappella, his time coaching/arranging on The Sing-Off, and the “pinch me” moments he’s experienced along the way. He shares practical advice for directors starting contemporary a cappella groups, essential technical adjustments when transitioning from classical to contemporary styles, and key things groups should focus on during competition season. We also dive into the creation of A Cappella Academy and how it continues to impact young singers around the world.

Whether you’re a seasoned a cappella director or just getting started, this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and actionable takeaways.
