Description

We are Maika and Dana from Unboxing Women and this pod is about the gender gap and how women and LGBTQ+ are marginalised in the music and entertainment industry.

It all started after we were called a bitch just for knowing what we want and being assertive about it to the men around us, so if being a knowledgeable woman makes us a bitch, then we are #SUCHABITCH and we’ll show you just what a bitch can do.

Join us as we unbox the underlying truth, discuss taboo topics and bring on guests revealing the dirty little secrets of the music business and what is really going on behind the scenes.

Who uses Autotune? Why is it frowned upon in certain genres, while it is glorified in others?  We divulge a couple of secrets well-known in the industry, but that most music fans have no clue about. We mention our Episode 25: "Vibrato in Pop Music", Episode 32: "Exploring Imposter Syndrome" and Episode 23: "Women Supporting Women - Vocal & Communication Coach Angela Durrant". This is the link to the Full 2019 Eurovision Show on their official YouTube channel where Madonna sang 'Like a Prayer' with Autotune tuned to the wrong note: https://youtu.be/Dsx4pVjUth0?t=10575 (the link will make the video start just before she comes on) This is the link to the video on Madonna's YouTube channel where they corrected her performance as best they could.  You can clearly hear extra vocals were added on the parts that they couldn't re-tune due to too much audience noise: https://youtu.be/VG3WkiL0d_U If there is anything you would like us to talk about send us a DM on our Instagram instagram.com/unboxingwomen or an email to suchabitch@unboxingwomen.com Use the hashtag #SUCHABITCH to let us know about your personal experiences. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/unboxingwomen/message

We chat about helpless female sidekicks in movies and how Reese Witherspoon made everyone aware of the problem back in 2016, but nothing has changed much.  Still this is a question we have to ask ourselves and our female community as to how we move the needle and make people realise their internalised misogyny that is perpetuated this vicious cycle. Spoiler alert: We chat about a couple of movies where the line "What do we do now?" is uttered by the female characters and we describe scenes from 'Toy Story 3' and 'San Andreas'.   Link to the clip we play with women saying "What do we do now?" with a part of Reese's speech.
