Hello fabulous friends - I hope you're having a fantastic month of June! This week's episode is all about Glenn Seven Allen's method to song scoring as outlined in the book The Singer Acts, The Actor Sings! If you want a part two where I cover the rest of the exercises, please let a girl know.

I bought my copy at the Drama Book Shop, but you can also buy the e-book version or order a copy online (including from Amazon, AKA the devil).

Happy Tony's week, fabulous friends! Congratulations to all the nominees and winners (and everyone behind the scenes who make these shows possible) - It was a truly sensational season of shows. Also correction* - Kimberly Akimbo won Best Musical, not "Best New Musical," that's not even a category hahah.

Hello Fabulous Friends and happy Pride Month! This week we talk about all the things (other than finding auditions, prepping, auditioning, and working a survival job) that you can be doing when you're not on a contract - obviously these are all ideas and suggestions to help you be the best performer, but most importantly, PERSON you can be. Take what you want and leave the rest (:

The non-performance related book I bought at the Drama Book Shop is called F*** Anxiety by Lauren Douglas.

The Youtuber with great dancer stretching videos is Gaylyn Lareese.

I hope you have a slay of a Monday and an even more slay rest of your week - Let's get booked & blessed, y'all!

Hello Fabulous Friends! This week we're talking all things AEA (Actor's Equity Association). If you want to do a little extra research of your own, here are the sites I used:

If you noticed the spliced in "2020-2021," no you didn't (; I definitely didn't say 2000-2001...

I hope you all have a marvelous Memorial Day Monday & an even better rest of your week - Let's get booked & blessed, y'all!

Hello Fabulous Friends - I forgot to mention the original Lydia from BEETLEJUICE The Musical (Sophia Anne Caruso) is also in Grey House & I didn't even realize it until the show started! Also, the special effects makeup was EVERYTHINGGGGG. It had been a good minute since I had seen a straight play before this, I'll be completely honest with you. Definitely go if you have the chance (or win the lottery *wink*).
