Sometimes it is really hard to get back into performing. I experienced this firsthand when I went to college. This blog post is a little narrative …
Stop Casting Bad Singers in Movie Musicals (Thanks In Advance)
I am sick and tired of movie musicals casting big Hollywood movie actors THAT DON’T SING. I’m talking Emma Watson in B&B, Helena Bonham Carter in Sweeney Todd, and Emma Stone in La La Land. These ladies (and the many, MANY men who have also tried their hardest to sing in big films) are only …

Comparison is the Enemy of Creativity
Stop comparing yourself to other people. (Seriously, stop it.) No healthy decisions are made out of self-consciousness.

Where I've Been!
In 6th grade, I took a triple threat masterclass at Casa Manana in Fort Worth, and I was hooked on performing. While in public school, I took 7 years of musical theatre and classical voice lessons & performed in 9 musicals over 4 years!
I learned how to read sheet music and became a musician by playing the alto saxophone for 7 years. This training helped me tremendously in my vocal lessons and musical directing!
I have music directed many musicals (my favorite part is getting those harmonies tight). I also arranged and performed a senior showcase cabaret at Texas A&M Unviersity.
At A&M, I was the principal singer for the Texas A&M Jazz band performing many charts from Ella to Hammerstein. I was also the female singer for the Aggieland Orchestra big band (where I met my husband!)

I've helped many performers Hone their singing and performance Skills.
Just ask my country-singin’ husband!
