Another awesome week!!!
so yay, a lot of you!!!
susan started doing auditions for abrams! she’s totally in, yo!!!! carla - also with abrams – is one of SIX freakin’ voices being considered for the lincoln (yes, as in car) CAMPAIGN!!!! my fingers are triple crossed, carlita!!!
harris’ part got upgraded on AMC! shooting wed! jamie morris booked schwinn bikes – 2 spots - for target, and walmart!!! and she booked it right off our demo. honestly i’ve lost count now how many of you who have booked thru your demos. oh! and here’s another! cody - thru her demo – booked an ivr “avetar” voice.
it’s kinda funny; she had to record all these answers to possible questions for a company (say, a mobile phone co. for example) so people in india can press a button that would most appropriately answer the question from the caller. and then, if they can’t help the caller with her answers, they transfer the call back to the states. ha! i thought that was very amusing. to me, it’s screaming an snl skit. okay!!! moving on: kaira booked her THIRD episode of “what would you do”! AND got put on hold for nestle outshine!!! you go, girl.
and adam m. booked a spot for h&m, and got put on hold for bud lite! john c also got put on hold for bud lite, and it looks like he’s about to book a co-starring role on house of cards!!!! boom!!!! is that all? (kidding. but seriously, lmk if i’ve forgotten someone…)

here’s the info: ONE NITE ONLY – BEOWULF IN BROOKLYN AT THE GALAPAGOS TO KICK OFF 2013 WORLD TOUR! 16 MAIN ST. BROOKLYN NY 11201
This from a pretty cool woman who now owns a recording studio space:
my husband John and I are owners of a new music rehearsal space called Replay Studios located in the West village. Our promo card is attached. Our studios are sound-proofed, professionally equipped and include a high-tech, user friendly audio/video recording system so musicians can easiy record and review their rehearsals. This is a feature that we believe is beneficial for any musician who is getting ready for a showcase or audition, or just wants to learn by reviewing their work.
We also offer a band coaching program where young bands come to us to improve their sound and repetoire, or we form bands fo kids together based on age and ability. As you are a voice teacher, I thought I would mention that at the moment we have a band of three 11 year old boys who are loooking for a singer (could be a guitar or keyboard player as well). We always offer the first band session for free for kids who want to try it out.
best,Mare Rubin
