Things quiet down at the beginning of the summer.  So, I have been taking more time for introspection.  Doing some deep inner focusing to see if I can get inspired to create some new classes.  I ask myself, “What is it that I have really learned to do in my lifetime?  What have I conquered [...]]]></description>

I studied acting for many years. I thought acting would help me become somebody.  I think it did.  Much of what I have become and been able to accomplish is due to my acting training and experience.
 The one thing I learned from acting is how to become something new.  To become means to be comfortable [...]]]></description>

I found a wonderful blogpost by Kathy  Reiffenstein at Professionally Speaking Blog that I simply must share with you!  Kathy draws some valuable lessons on speaking from the Broadway production of A Little Night Music.

 Warmth is an emotion, so it can’t be simply acted out.  You can’t behave like you are warm because others will sense you lack of real warmth. You can’t DO warmth, you must feel [...]]]></description>
