Isabelle Antoinette Barones Sloet van Toutenburg by Nicaise de Keyser (1852), details

Millennial culture is having two wildly different conversations with the same person on two different apps at the exact same time

[poorlytimed-deactivated20190607]

conversation 1: cheese borger

conversation 2: that’s why I think I’m so afraid of making myself vulnerable, because my father taught me I couldn’t ever truly trust anyone

[valinor-chronicles]

Can we talk about this photo?

God fucking dann it. Fuck me. Fuck. Wow. Jesus save me. Wow. I mean. Do I deserve it? This is it? This it! Wow.

Medusa with the Head of Perseus, Luciano Garbati, 2008

[arbitraryimposition]

I adore how she carries his head low, at her side, and not aloft in triumph. This is not a self-aggrandizing hero lauding her great deed. This is a woman who wanted to be left the fuck alone.

By request, this month on my patreon, I’m doing an ASMR-style podcast. I can’t express how excited I am—if you’re not a patron yet, get in for April’s fun!

[i-remember-there-was-mist]

Want to get a peek into the content I release on my Patreon monthly?

This month, I’m releasing my podcast free and publicly so anybody can hear it!  This month, we talk to Harrison about what it’s like to be an accompanist, how to talk to accompanists, and what makes a good audition song choice.  

You can find the episode here! If you enjoy the content, consider becoming a Patreon!  More info on my Patreon and what I release monthly can be found here and here.

vampires who go to college for a history degree b/c they weren’t paying attention and want to know what they missed over the last 5 centuries

[sprinklesparkletwittertwatter]

Yes, but what about the vampires that were newly turned and want to study history so that they can talk with older vampires and not feel left out. Or the ones that want to pretend that they are super old to freak people out then when someone asks how long they’ve been a vampire that can be like “Like 5 years dude”

[thatsnicebutimmarried]

“How old are you?” “17.” “How long have you been 17?” “Like four months.”

[thewritehag]

Would it be like being a convert to a new religion and just being so hyped about the culture and stuff, so they go and learn all this history just so they can have a conversation with a 5 centuries old vampire who just goes, “…wut?”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

“you lived in england during the Battle of Hastings? who did you side with? did you ever meet William the Conqueror?”

“um I think I spent that century as a bog hermit….collected leeches for a living…good money in leeches”

[muirin007]

What IS it with Gaston Leroux and all caps? I'm just here, minding my own business, trying to read the book seriously and then all of a sudden Raoul spouts out I AM THE LITTLE BOY WHO WENT INTO THE SEA TO RESCUE YOUR SCARF out of NOWHERE and I just LOSE IT

DUDE SAME EVERY SINGLE TIME IT HAPPENS THIS IS ALL I SEE:

Just unmitigated SCREAMING.

You probably know that I have a Patreon.  You probably are wondering if it’s worth it to join because there’s so much content here for free on my blog!  Well, I want to share with you some of the cool content I have on my Patreon at various levels:

A kickass Discord channel full of some of the most supportive people around.  Discord is essentially a messaging platform, and we have a channel full of unbelievable folks, and we just chat musical theatre, life, accomplishments, and ask questions.  15,000 messages strong!

A question channel and a monologue/song rec channel.  Ever wanted recs?  Ever had me tell you no?  You can get recs as a patron.

Exercise loops, where I demonstrate my favorite exercises and have you sing along with them.  Great for warming up, practicing technique, singing in the car, or prepping for an audition!

One on one sessions with me talking career path, auditions, or whatever you want!

And my favorite, my podcast.  Here’s an episode list:

Episode one: interview with former WDW cast member

Episode two: Interview with Harrison about how to talk to accompanists

Episode three: we talk to a young professional about her journey through her career

Episode four: we talk to a young singer-songwriter about her experiences working on her own material

Episode five: interview with a close friend who lived in NYC for several years pursuing theatre

Episode six: interview with a young director about getting into the field and what it’s like being a young female in the industry

Episode seven: we talk to a licensed therapist about mental health and theatre

Episode eight: we talk tough questions like Equity vs. non-equity, side jobs, and getting sick as a performer

Episode nine: I discuss some of my favorite current research and articles regarding vocal technique

Episode ten: interview with a young opera singer about pursuing vocal performance and the “real world”

There’s nearly 20 hours of content up, and I release more each month for various tiers!  Becoming a patron at the appropriate level gets you instant access to the rewards, including all old content I’ve released!

I know supporting me financially is not possible for everyone, and know that I value you as a follower whether you can or not.  And I can’t tell you how much I appreciate each and every person who subscribes, even at the $1.00/month level.  If you think this content sounds interesting and you want to know more about my Patreon, you can check out this post or head right over to Patreon!

Thank you!!

New Year’s Lesson Package!

It’s one of my favorite times of year, because it’s that time of year that people make a bold choice to make a change in their routine.  I hear from so many incredible people who want to take the plunge into voice lessons, and I want to help make that a little easier.  This year, I’m offering a New Year’s Lesson Package to help kickstart your goals!  

The package is a three-lesson package, and the lessons are at a 15% discount.  The pricing is as follows:

Three 30-minute lessons: $75.00   $64.00

Three 45-minute lessons: $105.00   $90.00

Three 60-minute lessons: $135.00   $115.00

This deal can only be booked in January for your first lesson, but you can use the subsequent two lessons any time in 2019.  You can only purchase this package once.  This deal is for new students and returning students alike!  If you’re interested in booking, head over to my scheduling site and select one of the bottom three options for the package you’re interested in.  If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me at [email protected], and happy singing!

Note: also, don’t forget that if you have ever taken a single lesson with me, you get permanent access to the $1.00/month level of my Patreon, which most importantly includes my Discord channel!
