The Studio

Today I got to do a little "stunt" singing at The Monastery Studio.  What is "stunt singing" exactly? Well, Ric Hordinski of Monk & The Monastery Studio is working with a young singer- songwriter.  Apparently she is a GREAT imitator--she can bust out a Taylor Swift of Brandi Carlisle song with confidence.  But when it comes to her own songs--she has a hard time finding her style & really letting loose. SO--i studied her voice/songs & sang them how i thought they should be sung. My vocal tracks will give her something to imitate--helping her find a style and bust out of her melody ruts.  It was really fun & I even through out the idea of doing some further "artist development" with the young artist.   It would be cool to help a young artist "find her voice".

On a similar note, I'm going to teach a workshop at a conference this fall. My workshops will focus on "how to sing backing vocals" & "expressive/emotive singing".  

All these things are encouraging reminders that my childhood dreams have in fact come true-- I'm a professional singer. 

Rock....On.
