Actress. Writer. Foodie. Book Nerd.
One year ago today, Robby and I finished the first draft of On the Air. It’s hard to believe it’s only been a year since we started this. So much has happened. Honestly if you told me a year ago we’d be where we are now, I would have thought you were crazy.
Actually I thought we were crazy for embarking on this journey.

LITERALLY right after we finished the first draft and submitted it to NYMF—notice the crazy eyes?
I’m so excited to share our new headshots with you!
With On the Air picking up and some cabaret opportunities on the horizon, we knew we needed some new headshots as a singer/songwriter team. We’re in the process of setting up a new website (which you will see in due time!), so we needed some shots for that as well.
We called Beth Capuano again who had done such a great job with our old headshots. She’s truly fantastic to work with and at a fraction of the cost if you were to go into the city. Check ’em out!
Ahhh, it’s that time of year again! I can smell it in the air; the mad dash to finish a song, finalizing last minute scene changes, the sweat, the tears, the shear panic–all ending in shear exhaustion and jubilation that you got everything in on time.
It’s Festival submission season for new writers. For those of you unfamiliar with this tear-inducing season, it’s when many Theatre and Musical Theatre festivals open submissions for new works. This is a prime opportunity for new writers to get your shows out there. It’s also a great opportunity to get your works finished because–hello–deadlines!
Hiya!
Remember me? I’m that girl who writes this blog….
I know, I’ve been MIA but my excuse is I was kinda doing that little thing with my musical, On the Air. Nothing much–just producing, starring in, and writing it.
I thought I would do a recap of what the whole experience was like (now that I finally caught up on sleep/Outlander episodes<–very important). [Read more…]
So like the title of this post says, if it’s on Playbill, then it’s official. It’s sort of like claiming your relationship status on Facebook.
Everybody knows you’re really not in a relationship until it’s on Facebook.
Where to begin summarizing how amazing, useful, exhausting, eye-opening, and reaffirming an experience this has been?
The second and last nights went extremely well. We got some great feedback! We left feeling much better on where we were with the piece and where we want to take it. Robby and I will be working extremely hard over the next few weeks to get it ready for the industry reading.
I call this the “Family” shot.
As I am writing this post, I’m sipping some coffee and going over notes from opening night. What a whirl wind few days it’s been!
It was a four hour drive up to Auburn, NY and we were all excited to be on our way!
We leave today for upstate New York where our show, On the Air was selected as one of ten shows to partake in The PiTCH as part of The Finger Lakes Musical Theatre Festival!
Now, where was I? Oh yes, recording a demo. (In case you missed it, here’s part 1)
This can be a very intimidating task considering all that goes into recording. Do we need to rent a recording studio? Who do we get to record? How much is this going to cost?
Anybody can record a demo and believe it or not, it doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg.
Robby and I invested in a mic off of Amazon. This one to be exact. It won’t cost you your first born child and the sound quality is pretty good. We got a pop filter, music stand, a mac and were ready to go. We recorded the majority of the demo in my room, not some fancy recording studio. The music stand was our mic holder. This was the set-up (please excuse the mess, I was a shell of a human being remember?):
