Hear My Voice – For Haiti


It is rare that we have an opportunity to give back.  I sat in awe at the Celebrity Telethon executed by George Clooney seen on various broadcast channels across the world.  It was incredible to see the celebrity’s team up and donate time, money and generosity.  I am honored to be a part of a benefit fundraiser for Haiti put on by some very incredible Voice Industry professionals and YOU CAN TAKE PART.

It has been so beautiful and touching to see how our world truly comes together in times of crisis.  Here is your opportunity to do your part.

The Voice Event of the Year!
Don’t miss VOICE 2010 in Los Angeles June 2-5th







I have been extremely neglectful to remind you to register early for Voice 2010.  I hope you took it upon yourself to get yourself registered early, saving hundreds of dollars.

Voice 2010 is an opportunity you don’t want to miss.  I have attended all the VOICE conventions and this one is sure to stand out even more.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?  If you are new to the industry, currently working or an experienced pro, NEVER have you experienced anything like VOICE 2010 (well unless you joined us for our VoiceLympics Cruise (2011 soon to be announced).  This event is an overwhelming experience to be among hundreds of people with a passion equal to yours (seriously).  The energy alone is worth coming for, not to mention 4 days with TOP coaches (including yours truly), industry experts, voice talent, excellent seminars and panels from very well respected professionals in the industry.

Here are a small list of benefits
- Networking
- Education
- Technology
- Secrets revealed
- Marketing
- Meeting some of the top in their field
- Join me for a 90 minute hands on seminar on the ONLINE world of Voice
- Work with coaches privately (select coaches only)
- Having fun and so much more!

If you have already registered, let them know that you were referred by Deb Munro.  If you still haven’t registered please use the direct link below.  They are keeping track of referrals so this will be a great help.  Register soon before another possible price increase.  Hotel rooms still available at the Hotel Location – Hyatt Regency in Beverly Hills

We will see you in JUNE 2010.  Come find me and say hi!  My daughter Brandi and assistant Leah Cevoli will be manning the Mic n Me exhibition booth so be sure to stop by and let us know who you are.

Private sessions with me will be available but you must book your session in advance.  We must have all sessions confirmed by mid may.  Please contact me ASAP to book your private session at some point within the seminar (we can book in a way so that you won’t miss any of your break out sessions).

James Alburger/Penny Abshire and the entire Voice 2010 team have gone to a lot of trouble to put this extraordinaire event together.  We hope to see you there.  REGISTER NOW!

Tom Logan – LA Director – ACTING workshop in Vancouver –          EVERY VOICE TALENT has to learn to act!
This is one of my favorite coaches.  When I sought out to find my coaching team Tom was my first stop and he taught me more than most have.  What I learned from Tom (that I would like you to experience first hand) was how to have confidence in the audition and the casting room.  He not only works on amazing acting techniques that will have you transformed over 3 incredible workshop days but he tells it like it is.  No sugar coating here!  Tom will tell you what the directors want.  What they don’t like, what will get you cast and what will get you laughed at.

I have never experienced another class like this and I ENCOURAGE EVERY ONE OF YOU to take this workshop.  It is very rare I request you to take a specific workshop, especially an on camera, but this one is rare and will help you in a way that Voice workshops cannot

This is WORTH TRAVELLING for.  It has been some time since Tom taught in Vancouver and we are honored to have him

Trust in me for this one

Date:  March 12-14th (That’s 3 DAYS of Workshop from 7- 10 on Friday, 9:00 a.m – 10:00 p.m. On Sat & 9 – 6 p.m. On Sunday) Two workshops included (with a one workshop only option)  Lunch and supper breaks provided

Here is a FULL description of this years incredible workshop –
What amazed me the most, is that she turned some performances
from a "not sure if we would offer representation" to a resounding "YES,
that’s someone we would want on our roster", and to be able to achieve that
in 5 minutes, is a testament to her ability to find just exactly the little
pieces that are often missing in a performance, and manage to pull it out to
the surface to deliver a great read.....”  Dan Sandor, Vox Talent
