1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: I've been a part of sharing the story of NBC's

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,240
The Voice since twenty sixteen, but they've been scattered across

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,919
all the digital platforms. Now all of those conversations are

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,880
in one location. Aro dot net, A R r Oe

5
00:00:14,119 --> 00:00:17,640
dot net look for that voice. There's a couple of

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,640
things I want to start off with here, only because

7
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:22,679
I'm just so fascinated with your present place of now.

8
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:25,000
And Number one, I just have to know do Aiden

9
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:26,839
and Aubrey are they watching you on Zoom today? Going

10
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:29,440
what is mommy doing? What is going on? She's talking

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,240
all these people around the world, and it's got to

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,280
be exciting for them to see you with your outreach

13
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:36,520
in full forward motion.

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: It's got to be I know, it's exciting for my daughter.

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,920
She literally asked me to take her to Walgreen. She

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,320
got some of my pictures printed out, and she actually

17
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:46,840
sells my autographs at school.

18
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,799
Speaker 3: And here's the thing, I'm not even signing them. She

19
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:51,399
is so she's excited about it.

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: I say, okay, okay, I see I see your business plan.

21
00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:58,880
That's plagiarism, but I see your business plan, Casalana. He's

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,159
excited for me, He cheers me. You know, he's fourteen,

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,759
and so he was like, yeah, Mom, I'm really proud

24
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:02,960
of you.

25
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: Good job.

26
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:05,719
Speaker 2: But he's fourteen, he doesn't really care about a lot

27
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:07,879
of things. But I know that they are both proud

28
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:10,920
of me. And I know that they see now all

29
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,640
those nights that I had to sing or they had

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,239
to say at Grandma's it all led to this, And

31
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,239
I know that they think that I'm really a truly

32
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:19,560
a superstar and for real, for real.

33
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 3: That makes my heart just flutter. That's really all that matters.

34
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: But they're seeing your dedication, your loyalty, determination and perseverance.

35
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,680
Correct me, because this isn't just happening. I mean, you're

36
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,680
busting tail.

37
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been at this for over a decade now,

38
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:35,079
so they're seeing all of that. And I thought that

39
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,959
it would be better if I can show them if

40
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,840
you have a dream, pursue and make it a part

41
00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,359
of your fiber, and I'm going to be there to

42
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:44,719
support you when you decide to chase your dreams one day,

43
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,319
the same way I'm showing you that you can get

44
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,640
behind yourself right now by watching me. And so the

45
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,519
main thing is I just always wanted to show my

46
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:53,560
kids that I love them. I love them more than

47
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:55,640
I love myself, and this is what I'm willing to

48
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,519
do to change our lives forever.

49
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'm one of those freaky people that will take

50
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,799
a name or a word and I like to break

51
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,159
it down because I believe that where we are with

52
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,879
our vocabularies and names, it has something to do with

53
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,439
the past that we've already lived. And so I did

54
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,400
research on your name. The name Yoshi means good, righteous,

55
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:21,039
good luck. Now when you take Hannah, and the thing

56
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,879
is is that with my Korean background, Hannah is close

57
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,080
to Hanad that would be number one. So you are

58
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,919
number one with good, righteous and good luck. So your

59
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:34,800
name means number one and everything positive.

60
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: Ooh.

61
00:02:37,439 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: I love that I've never taken the time to research it,

62
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:43,560
and if I did, I know I didn't see that

63
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:44,120
on the internet.

64
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: That is so amazing and.

65
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,039
Speaker 2: That's so befitting because I feel like every door, every

66
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:52,000
opportunity that has come to me has been purely God's

67
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
hand or some stroke of love.

68
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,879
Speaker 3: And I just I can't believe it. I really can't

69
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,159
believe that all this is still happening.

70
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,439
Speaker 2: You know.

71
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: I wake up and I watch my VAT and I'm like,

72
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,680
that's really me. I did that. I'm doing this.

73
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:07,879
Speaker 1: But isn't that the fun of being a creative person? Though,

74
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,919
It's like, not every day is a victory, but you'll

75
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,520
find one.

76
00:03:12,439 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: You'll find one, or it'll find you if it's if

77
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,439
it's for you, it won't miss you.

78
00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:17,319
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

79
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,199
Speaker 2: That's the most beautiful thing about being a creative is

80
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,159
that you know where your.

81
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: Mind can take. You know. Somebody asked me in the

82
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,800
comments here, was like.

83
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 2: How does your mind compute these singing riffs and runs

84
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,520
and you're able to execute them?

85
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: And I was like, you know what, I don't even know.

86
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,400
I don't even know.

87
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:35,919
Speaker 2: Because if I show you my practice videos, they sound

88
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:36,800
nothing like that.

89
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: So what do they sound like? And what you ever

90
00:03:39,919 --> 00:03:42,400
let somebody step into that world because we are in

91
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:46,240
this age where it seems that being transparent means ah, okay,

92
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,120
I'll let you hear my mistakes.

93
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've already posted my perform my practice videos

94
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,159
to where they're just the standard, straight cut the record.

95
00:03:56,199 --> 00:03:59,800
I'm singing the words, I'm enunciating and I'm singing the

96
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,960
as they were recorded. But it's something about when I

97
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,639
get on that stage, arrow, when I get on that stage,

98
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:10,599
I transcend outside of my body and I just do things.

99
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,199
And that is what I absolutely love that I cannot

100
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:14,919
put a marker, I can't put marcer tape on what

101
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,519
it is that I do. I just do it, and

102
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,399
I think it's beautiful that I get to share that

103
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,720
with the whole world.

104
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,399
Speaker 1: So when you come off that stage, when does the

105
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,800
real youth step back into that body? Because I know

106
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,920
what it's like being on that stage. You half the time,

107
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:28,319
you don't even remember it.

108
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: As soon as I take that wardrobe off, I'm made

109
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,600
in Aubrey's mom again, and I don't.

110
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: Know what just happened. As soon as I take those

111
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:40,160
shoes off, We're done here. You know.

112
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Sometimes the energy that I give and I take from

113
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,439
being on stage sometimes when I get off stage is

114
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:49,439
kind of like I have like a drop in adrenaline

115
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,360
and I'm just back into the real world. But when

116
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,480
I get on that stage, it's like, literally, I'm outside

117
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,240
of myself. Is this outer body experience, and I absolutely

118
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,879
love it. But honestly, when I'm off the stage, I'm quiet.

119
00:04:58,920 --> 00:04:59,600
I'm in the house.

120
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: I got to move on.

121
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 2: I got a headstart from it, I got fluffy thoughts

122
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,399
I got a couple of black coffee in my hand,

123
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:06,639
and I'm watching.

124
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: Episodes of The Price Is Right on YouTube.

125
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, what was I doing before I came in here?

126
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Watching Jack Benny episodes? Only because you see what I'm saying.

127
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:18,079
But I do because I mean, they obviously were doing

128
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,279
it great. What am I needing to learn so I

129
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,600
can take what they did back then and make it

130
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:23,560
great even today?

131
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly? You know, I study a lot of the greats.

132
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,319
I study a lot of my personal favorites. And when

133
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:33,160
I study them, I don't mean that I take what

134
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,720
they do and I use it for myself. I look

135
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,839
at what the crowd responds to. I listen to when they,

136
00:05:39,959 --> 00:05:42,439
you know, might have used their dynamics when they drop back,

137
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,240
why did they do that. I'm looking at their pasha,

138
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,639
I'm looking at their hands. I'm studying their band, the

139
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:49,759
background singers, And I'm learning because that's gonna be me

140
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,959
very soon, and I want to make sure that I

141
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:54,480
have the formula for success under my belt.

142
00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:57,519
Speaker 1: Do you think that's because those before us recognize the

143
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,680
fact that those people on the opposite side of that

144
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,040
cam and or music, they are real people, and we

145
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,160
see them as creative people, and therefore they feel it.

146
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,040
And it's not that they're happy to see us, they're

147
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:09,399
happy that we see them.

148
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: Yes, you said it in a nutshell, in a shopping bag.

149
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:15,519
That's exactly it.

150
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Yoshi Hanna from

151
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,079
NBC's The Voice coming up next NBC's The Voice. We

152
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,800
are back with Yoshihana. Now here's a question only somebody

153
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,480
from the Southeast could handle, and that is is that

154
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,959
I'm in Charlotte, you're in Atlanta, you go out to

155
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,519
La What did you do with your sinuses? My god?

156
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: It is Oh my god, Oh my god. I don't

157
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:39,879
you know what.

158
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,759
Speaker 2: I wish they would show all their b roll of

159
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,120
me playing and scratching and digging in my nose.

160
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: It was terrible. It was terrible. I had to.

161
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,439
Speaker 2: Ode on electrolyze and alkaline water and coconut water just

162
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,720
to stay lubric They seem like nothing I do. My

163
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,759
voice was scratching and I couldn't get rid of it.

164
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:59,399
Speaker 3: My hair was dried. They don't have collared greens in California.

165
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:00,839
What am I gonna do?

166
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,959
Speaker 1: And you want sweet tea? What do you mean you

167
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:04,879
want sweet tea.

168
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,879
Speaker 3: They don't have sweet tea. They don't have sweet tea.

169
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: They brought me some unsweetened tea and asked me if

170
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:11,600
I want to limit a sugar pack is get it

171
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,360
away from me now.

172
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:15,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean our sugar is it's got to

173
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,040
become a part of the tea. I mean, I was there.

174
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:21,759
I've seen Bojangles make their own tea. Oh my god,

175
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,120
it doesn't just happen that that is a science project.

176
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,639
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a science project that'll also land you in

177
00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:30,240
a hospital. But I don't need it, and I need it.

178
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: I love it.

179
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: So now here's the thing. You being down there in Atlanta.

180
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:37,600
I'm up here in Charlotte. We've got the Panthers, You've

181
00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:40,279
got the dirty Birds. So then then what happens is

182
00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:41,680
is that I believe, this is what I feel in

183
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,600
my soul with the Panthers losing last night. I believe

184
00:07:44,639 --> 00:07:46,720
that Atlanta will come back and win the division and

185
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,839
then go on to the Super Bowl.

186
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: That could very well happen. But guess what, I don't

187
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680
watch sports. You know why, because I got that black

188
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:57,879
I got, I got that coffee in my hand, and

189
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,839
I'm watching episodes of the prices right of our lives.

190
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,040
I'm so embarrassed to say that. I'm watching read ones

191
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,360
of The Bolt and the Beautiful.

192
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:09,399
Speaker 1: So do you ever do you ever go into a

193
00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:11,720
grocery store and sit there and play prices right as

194
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,600
you're walking through it?

195
00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,839
Speaker 3: Yep? So scrabble and words with friends too.

196
00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm in a tournament with one of my friends and

197
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:20,480
like we actually had we stopped.

198
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,839
Speaker 3: We stopped speaking a while ago because I was tearing

199
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:26,079
her up. So y'all, no, I don't.

200
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:28,680

got to do a lot of people watching.

204
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,519
Speaker 1: That's a ton of information to go through your eyes.

205

Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, what I do is very You have to

206
