Welcome to my "Voice Box"
#ThinkOutsideYourBox 

A place for sharing views, dreams, and experiences with my friends and family.
​
 "Becoming a mother changed me. I have more love, passion, and fulfillment in life; which in turn, enriches my artistry."
 - Rachel Sparrow
​
*Please join me in normalizing motherhood

within performing artists' culture*
Think Outside Your Box means to me:
​
1. Be Selfless - think beyond your own "box"
or wants. Help heal and uplift others.

​2. Feel Empowered to cut through the proverbial
​"box" made of societally-induced-parameters.
​
3. Be Bold. Innovate. Stretch yourself. Do hard things.

Show Time!! You're Invited!!

Dearest Friends!

I would be so honored if you came to this FREE program!
 I am presenting solos that are "American Songs of the Heart"  

to prep for upcoming competitions!

~ Invite Your Friends! ~
(Please no children under the age of 5, for recording purposes)
Tuesday  January 27th, 7-7:45 pm
 At Winnetka Congregational Church (see location)

That evening, we are recording a live musical theater audition for the prestigious Lotte Lenya Competition in NYC, where, if I am selected: I would compete in the semi-finals New York City. 
The first prize winner is given $15,000, exposure in NYC, 
and masterclasses with some of New York City's top directors/coaches. 

I have noticed that whenever I record 'live auditions' in front of a camera, it is a lackluster experience without a 'live' audience, and challenging to do my best just for a camera.
 That is why it would mean so much to me to have you in the audience to cheer me on, as I perform some of these pieces for the first time ever! 

The other big competition that I'm preparing for, is called the American Traditions Competition. They have chosen 28 contestants from all over the United States to compete in Savannah, Georgia-  ...  these vocalists are the best at singing any genre/style they are given. So, my program includes one song in each genre of folk, jazz, musical theater, opera, art song, Johnny Mercer, Great American Songbook, spiritual/gospel, and modern cabaret! The first prize winner of this competition is also awarded $15,000 + additional awards like Audience Favorite, and Best Jazz Performance. I posted briefly about this competition on this blog here.

SO there will be a lot of variety on this short program.
There is no charge!
 Donations are always appreciated and would go towards travel & accompanist expenses for these competitions. But I would just be SO thrilled to have you there!!
