Hey hi hello!

​

Every month I think I'm going to get this out in time to not have a recap, but here we are again at the end of the month with a bit of a recap.

​

July happenings included a performance with Journey North Opera Company in their Changing the Narrative. Here's a little clip from my intro. I performed a piece by Amy Kennedy & Moira Finley written for myself and Clara Byom five years ago (or so.) The full video is available over on my Patreon.

​

I then spent two weeks teaching at St. Paul Conservatory of Music's Summer Music Camp. It's astounding to see how much kids can learn in a short period of time AND it is hard work - bless you school teachers who do this all year every year. One highlight was seeing my Broadway class create and perform their scene from start to finish - I really just got to be a facilitator and that's my favorite way to be.

​

​Soliloquy reached the $500 mark and I donated all of those funds to CAAPA. More on Soliloquy in the NEW NEWS Seg.

​

And lastly with Opera Reading Project, I was able to help select their next IDEA Fellow - its always a gratifying experience to see diverse talents in the opera world and I am so honored to be ORP's diversity consultant.

​

And now here we are recovering from camp and resuming the teaching mantle of my WONDERFULLY full studio (more on that coming up)!

​

Head over to Bandcamp & Patreon to keep up with the journey.

​

​Nail Your Intro Masterclass will remain my pay what you can offering thru August 15th! I didn't market it well cuz, hey July recap lolol. So we're gonna try again. Here's the blurb again: "in this Masterclass you'll learn my top tips for crafting your own bada$$ intro for the audition room, online live openers, and beyond. We'll craft each person's intro with a couple exercises and then we'll present and craft them to a group to make sure you're confident enough to take it back into your everyday life."
