The Valkyrie's Rides: A Return to the Blog
http://valkyrie-nyc.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-return-to-blog.html
Ho jo to ho! Adventures from all over! Thursday, July 16, 2015. A Return to the Blog. OK, so I turned out to be rubbish at writing a blog, but here I am, back for another try, after having several people chew me out about doing one. I'm home today with a nasty summer cold/flu, so finally decided to catch up with the two fireworks shows I recorded on the 4th, since I had to take a nap that evening to start work at midnight. And the orchestra - who is that conductor? On to the NY fireworks - I only taped t...

Ho jo to ho! Adventures from all over! Sunday, April 4, 2010. November 2008 [Part One]. Movies: “Twilight” (wow, only one this month, but not a surprise…). 8220;Daily Show”. 8220;On The Town”. November 1 arrived with me still at RHPS – OK, so I celebrated Halloween into the wee hours! I got home finally around 5:30/6 AM, happy that my flight to Cleveland didn’t leave until 2:15. Finished packing and hit the pillow for a few hours, although not TOO much sleep as too excited! Who’da thunk, ME? Finally orde...

CHRISTINE'S VOICE: July 2012
http://christinesvoice.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Aka grahamophone, Christy G. Saturday, July 14, 2012. The Comfort Zone: Part Two. Previously on The Comfort Zone. I was sitting in a regional train, literally as well as figuratively, in a rather uncomfortable seat going nowhere really fast. I may have amazed them with my super-fast learning skills, my ability to juggle (see previous post: “ It Takes Balls to be an Opera Singer. But rather vocal production. Really. Do you? Well, good for you. Which has gotten me as far as I am. And for certain roles,...

Diva on a Dare. The Adventures of a Canadian Singer Abroad. Wednesday, 26 November 2014. Tips for Freelancing (Part 1). I'm still pretty new to the whole freelancing game. In no way would I consider myself an expert on how to do it successfully. However, I have been freelancing for just under five years now. And that's enough time to make some significant mistakes. 1 Don’t just be on time, be early! Where is the venue? WHERE IS THE VENUUUUE? 2 Leave your problems outside of the venue. 8211; they like you!

Diva on a Dare. The Adventures of a Canadian Singer Abroad. Tuesday, 29 April 2014. On finding a balance. Nothing in music school can prepare you for the transition from student to freelancer. If life were fair, it would just be another step on an even, well-balanced staircase. But instead it's a giant leap away – worlds apart from student life. How do you avoid letting them drive you crazy? It can really throw you for a loop! Unlike this guy, you can't just keep going and going and going. When I'm betwe...

Diva on a Dare. The Adventures of a Canadian Singer Abroad. Tuesday, 25 March 2014. Brilliant Books (Part 2). Following up on last week’s post, I thought I’d write about a few other books which I've read in the past. Now these books are a bit less recent in my memory, so please bear with me while I dust off their jackets and recall what made them so great…. The Inner Voice – Renee Fleming. In The Inner Voice. The Inner Game of Tennis – W. Timothy Gallwey. The Inner Game of Tennis. Apparently there is now...

Diva on a Dare. The Adventures of a Canadian Singer Abroad. Thursday, 23 April 2015. South American Tour - Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Peru. While most people were heading home for Easter weekend, I was on a different kind of trip. Along with the ensembles of the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart. And now I'll try to sum it up in less than 2000 words. The city just goes on and on and on. What made them necessary? Coconut water - just don't do it. The best thing I tasted in São Paolo was definitely...
