What's Been Happening Since Tommy

After Tommy I went straight into rehearsals at Fort Bend Theatre for Robin Hood. The other actors have had 2 weekends of shows but my opening is this Friday as Robin Hood with only a few rehearsals.

Last weekend was contest weekend. I sang at Massa's Italian Restaurant Saturday night for the Italian Festival. Thanks to how nice everyone was and to the judges for giving their time. I moved forward in the top 3 in the 13 to 18 age group after singing Nella Fantasia. Now I'm trying to find another Italian song for the finals on Oct. 17. I also played piano and sang in a contest Sunday in The Heights. I got honorarable mention so got to play again that night for the recital. I learned there are some really talented piano players out there.

I also auditioned for a workshop at Stages Theatre for a potential new musical. I got the part so will write more about that in October. The workshop reading is October 25. I filmed a movie audition, auditioned and made show choir at school, and am preparing for an audition at the opera next week. Not to mention all the homework I've done.

Contest Update/Busy Week

Thanks for all who voted in Disney Contest. I appreciate your time and support. I wasn't the winner but at least in top 10. The All Star Planet finalists will be announced August 26 so stay tuned for news on that contest. Had movie audition yesterday, new headshots taken, a publicity photo shoot today for Fort Bend Friends and Family luncheon performance on September 17, 13 rehearsal tonight, and singing at Williams Trace Baptist church this Sunday in a trio. Last of summer this week and had a great time at Splashtown Monday with church youth group. School starts Monday so hope you've enjoyed your summer like I have.

4 Days Left Disney Contest

If you're reading this I still have 4 days to get votes for the Disney mega pipes singing contest I'm in.

Need Your Vote Disney Contest

Found out today I made it to top 10 in Disney u rock contest mega pipes category. Judges picked to determine the top 10 but now I need your vote. Please go to http://urock.disney.go.com/vote?contestId=h1a and vote for me. Can vote up to 10 times a day for 17 days. Thanks for voting.

New Experiences

This weekend I get a new experience to go in recording studio and sing a jingle. I have the jingle and I've practiced and tomorrow we'll record. Then will all depend on the client and if they like it enough to air it on the radio. Of course, I hope they do, but no matter what, it will be new experience for me.

Also, this weekend I've uploaded a DVD recording of me singing my revised lyrics to a song for the semi-finals in All Star Planet Contest to support Compassion International. I'm hoping it makes it past the judges to get it on the All Star Planet Website for the viewers to see.

Next, I'm working on selection for opera upcoming audition. I'm watching a past DVD performance of the show and listening to the music I downloaded to help select an audition piece. I usually don't spend this much time but this is a big audition, although I may be too tall and too old.

Today another first, I submitted a CD and letter to request to perform on a certain TV show.

I'll keep you posted if any of these efforts pay off.
