August 2019

Hello everyone!

Wow, the first week of September has already flown by! I've honestly been looking forward to autumn... cooler temperatures, darker evenings with candles, fuzzy sweaters, and harvest time with lots of yummy apples and squash to eat and bake with. BUT, before I start waxing lyrical on the month to come, I should probably tell you what happened last month, eh? 

Very well, then! Here ya go:

August was a wonderful month for singing gigs. I sang for wedding events, birthday parties, senior homes, and the Leatherhead Theatre's first Picnic on the Plaza (pictured right). You can click the button below to hear one of the songs I sang for that event :)

 

I'm really happy that this side of my career has been taking off, and I'm excited by the numerous opportunities that have subsequently come my way. For instance, I've started collaborating with a gypsy swing guitarist (expect a video of that collaboration soon), and...

I know I've been hinting about this collaboration for a little while, but Bee Townsend and I finally recorded a teaser video of our duo act! She's been dealing with some health issues this year, but once she recovers from a recent surgery we should be back on track and on to bigger things! Stay tuned :)

This has been another month with LOTS of great voiceover projects, including...

*drumroll please*

my first roles in a new kids' animated TV series!

I can't share much about it now, but I'm SO excited and it's been so much fun creating these characters with the team! I'll share more details when I can!

Surround (the actors group that Erick and I have been long-time members of) has been meeting weekly throughout the summer, and we've been wrapping up this block with several great casting director workshops. It's a pleasure to work with such a talented bunch!

I've had lots of people asking when my CD will be coming out, and I'm pleased to inform you that I've decided to record with Guildford-based Never Ever Media! We're hoping to release it by the 1st of December. I'm sure I'll have photos/video teasers of the process to come, so keep an eye on my Instagram and Facebook accounts for updates! 

I've been so busy with singing and other commitments that I haven't been able to do much illustration or painting for myself... BUT, I still am sketching on a weekly, if not daily basis, so check out my online sketchbook if you'd like to see some of my recent artwork!

Well, that's about it! As always, thank you SO much for your love and support! All of your emails, messages, likes and comments are greatly appreciated! 

 

Have a wonderful September!
