A huge YAY! to Lindsey Bracco for booking an upcoming regional production of Hello Dolly. She’d barely returned from doing Guys and Dolls in Florida (oh, and thanks for walking in here with a gorgeous tan when we New Yorkers were still stumbling through the endless ice and black slush!) and made a beeline for my studio. 3 lessons and booked her next job – wow!
BROADWAY DEBUT CLASS OF 2024 – BIGGEST CLASS EVER?!
Congrats to Samantha Zack and Charlie Williams
Can’t wait for opening of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying…2 of my students are in it! Congrats to Samantha Zack and Charlie Williams. Speaking of Sam Z., she has always been diligent about voice lessons, even when she’s doing a show. She was in Wicked for 3 years and made it here whenever her rehearsal and performance schedule allowed. She even goes to open calls sometimes while doing a show, just to make sure her audition skills stay sharp. Great strategy!
“Rock the Audition”
I recently attended a brilliant master class called “Rock The Audition” with Sheri Sanders, which focused on choosing and preparing rock and pop songs for the rock musicals – some say “juke box musicals”. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, they’re here to stay and I want all of my students to be ready for anything. I’ve always made sure my students had plenty of pop songs in their books and we’ve been having a great time incorporating Sheri’s ideas into lessons. This was one of several courses I’ve taken since becoming a member of NYSTA – the New York Singing Teachers Association. Learning isn’t just for students… the best teachers know there’s always more to know!
