Started playing piano at the age of 4, but my first position in Show Business was as pianist for a travelling song and dance troupe that travelled throughout my home state of Wisconsin. My responsibilities in this troupe are what attracted me to the business.
Vocal Director with Royal Caribbean Productions. This role came with responsibilities that were outside of my training – such as dealing with sound reinforcement, vocal EQ-ing, directing performance and presence onstage, etc.). I worked hard to learn about these, and in doing so, I really enlarged my perspective of onstage performance – and my solo performance, as well.
In one gig, the Vocal Director was also in charge of the dancers’ shoes (sizing, distributing). Very strange and I’m glad to say that changed.
My piano skills.
Piano and Organization would be my guess.
Continue to take your craft seriously, but not yourself.
Solo Pianist; Vocal Director
