Congrats to @isabelgisclair and the entire @nocca.nola NOCCA cast of Little Shop of Horrors. What a phenomenal production. Go see this show! These young actors are completely in the moment, taking risks, and bringing their unique interpretations to each character down to each ensemble member. @cameronmitchellware

New RESOURCES! Looked all over for chord flashcards that also had the spelling for quick recall. Nothing fit the bill, so I made my own. Excited to put them into practice tomorrow during our Practical Piano Skills for Singers class! If you’re interested in this resource, they’ll be available soon for download at www.LaurensVoiceStudio.com

GO GO GO Joseph! So excited for these three ladies – Abby Nastasi, Meredith Adams, & Lily Adams who will share the role of Narrator in Brother Martin’s production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Abbey Mohr will also be joining them in the ensemble… Heres a throwback from my Joseph days (and yes the role of Joseph was played by yours truly, I guess that’s what happens when you go to an all girls high school).

So crazy proud of @bykimcecile Kim Chatelain for putting all her hard work, years of dedication, and true passion for singing into practice last weekend at the Tulane Vocal Arts Festival. Such a wonderful performance opportunity especially for those adult singers looking for an outlet to learn and share their gifts. A HUGE thanks to @amypfrimmer Amy Primmer for making this happen!

They are certainly creative in more ways than one here in New Orleans. What a marvelous idea.
