by Michael Shoultz 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Frantic Theatre Company Presents The Ballad of Blank Meter Three young writers and friends find themselves stagnant when it comes to success in a post-graduate life. Jonathan spends his days ruminating on his work, Emma works the bar, and Jack drinks away. When one of them strikes the rare chance of fame, personal relationships and personal philosophies take a nosedive. The link between success and happiness is thin, nearly invisible, but Jack, Jonathan, and Emma won’t stop until they find it. Directed by Elliot Lockshine Featuring: Cole Tarantowski Rachel Gold Alex Strzemilowski Lucy Turner Performances: August 17-20 7pm Clague Playhouse 1371 Clague Rd, Westlake, OH 44145 Link to purchase tickets: https://BalladofBlankMeter.eventbrite.com <https://balladofblankmeter.eventbrite.com/>

voice acting fundamentals class!
by Colors Audio 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Someone asked me what skills he would need in order to be a successful voice actor. I wrote down a few: Being directed; acting with no direction; analyzing a script for structure, tone, and understanding the audience, the need and the appeal; sight-reading; super-smile; familiarity with different v/o styles and understanding that the style may not be what you think it is; advanced (for the present day) knowledge of grammar, syntax and vocabulary; ability to read aloud in front of an audience or alone; breathing with support; control of resonance, pace, diction and dialect issues; evaluating your own performance - and more. By sheer coincidence, these are some of the things we’ll hit in my Voice Acting Fundamentals Class! It’ll run September 9 - October 14. Cost: $750 plus tax. 35-year voice acting veteran and coach Dan Popp is hosting the Fall, 2023, Voice Acting Fundamentals class. There will be six, 2-hour sessions at Colors Audio <https://www.colorsaudio.com/>, one of the area's premier commercial studios. We'll meet from 2 - 4pm each Saturday. In the voice acting arena you'll be auditioning against hundreds of others who (for the most part) aren’t going to put in the work. And I would say that all, or nearly all, of that work happens before you open your mouth. Please let me know right away if you're interested, or if you have questions! Email colorsaudio(a)neohio.twcbc.com <applewebdata://D3F60B5C-1DA1-48A3-83A4-3A77C17610DF/colorsaudio@neohio.twcbc.com>. If you're on the fence about taking this class, I highly recommend jumping on board should you be seriously ready to jump into the voiceover world! You'll learn so much in each session from Dan's years of experience. He's very down to earth and gives individualized advice. - David Thomas

Final weekend of Tiny Beautiful Things at TMPAC
by Claudia Lillibridge 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

Twin Masks Performing Arts Center, located at 9076 Church Street <https://www.google.com/maps/search/9076+Church+Street?entry=gmail&source=g>, in Twinsburg, is proud to announce its final weekend of performances of Tiny Beautiful Things, based on the bestselling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, and directed by Laurel K. Bryant. Performances are on Friday and Saturday evenings at 8pm on August 18 and 19. Adult tickets are $15 and Senior/ Student tickets are $10. Tickets can be purchased online at www.twinmasks.org or in person at the box office, which opens at 7:30pm on performance nights. Twin Masks is an intimate, 50 seat theatre and we strongly recommend purchasing tickets beforehand. PLEASE NOTE THE PRODUCTION CONTAINS STRONG ADULT LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THOSE 18 YEARS OR YOUNGER. Tiny Beautiful Things personifies the questions and answers that “Sugar” was publishing online from 2010-2012. When the struggling writer was asked to take over the unpaid, anonymous position of advice columnist, Strayed used empathy and her personal experiences to help those seeking guidance for obstacles both large and small. Tiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching when you’re stuck, healing when you’re broken, and finding the courage to take on the questions which have no answers. Truly an actors’ piece that takes the audience on a roller coaster.
