Improving how you sing
by Paul Kroeger 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

Paul Kroeger <letgo2sing(a)gmail.com> to neohiopal Paul Kroeger continues to offer voice and breathing lessons to advanced singers as well as to those less-advanced. The old saying: " If you don't breathe, you don't sing" can be understood at, say, a casual level, but there is a much deeper meaning to that, too. And it applies to speech mode as well. If you are still running out of air during certain phrases, come and see me. If you are beginning to run short of air because you are getting older or THINK that is why, come and see me. If you are still not able to get ALL of your breath during the "Catch" breath, come and see me. Most of us are holding our breath MOST of the time and think we aren't; that also reduces your range. You lose your high notes first, you know! Most of what limits us is due to what we don't know about breathing. Give me a chance to help you make improvements. Respond to this email or call me at 216-741-4762 and leave a message. Former students: try me; I no longer teach the way I once did. Add reaction ReplyForward Add reaction

08 Jan '25

*The Language Archive* by Julia Cho Directed by Craig Joseph Friday, January 26 through Sunday, February 11, 2024 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8PM and Sunday at 2PM A quirky, comic drama about communication—its potential and its limits —this romantic parable for our times features a linguist at a loss for words, especially the vocabulary of the heart. Balanced delightfully between affection and adversity, it is the whimsical, life-affirming chronicle of a brilliant scientist who fights to preserve the dying languages of far-flung cultures, only to neglect the promise and passion of his own. Our cast features Nicole Coury as Emma, Anne McEvoy as Alta, Maggie Rhodes as Mary, Doug Sutherland as George and Richard Worswick as Resten. Admission is $21 for adults, $20 for seniors (60+), and $13 for students (any age with a valid ID) and may be purchased by calling the Box Office at 440-331-0403 Wednesday through Saturday from 1-6PM or by visiting bit.ly/ClaguePlayhouseTickets.

Convergence-continuum announces auditions for the 14th annual NEOMFA Playwrights Festival! Auditions to be held at the theatre located at 2438 Scranton Rd. Cleveland, Ohio 44113 The Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts (NEOMFA) is a unique graduate program that offers a terminal degree in Creative Writing. Each year, convergence-continuum hosts a 2-weekend festival featuring works by students of the program. Each show is given a full production for the playwright to experience their work on stage. Rehearsals will start the first week of January. Those who have participated in the past can testify that the festival is an intensive, busy and thoroughly fun experience! Shows can range from 10-minute shorts to full length. This season will feature 1 full length play: *Executing Eve by Eric Mansfield* *Synopsis*: It’s 2034 and Governor Kaiser has returned Ohio to town square hangings as part of his new speedy-and-public execution policy for convicted killers given death sentences. That means a midnight death in the Medina town square is just hours away for Eve, who was found guilty of poisoning the judge she believes is responsible for her sister’s death after he rejected pleas from Eve and doctors hoping to intervene during a high-risk pregnancy. With crowds gathering outside the jail and little hope of an11th hour reprieve from the U.S. Supreme Court, Eve plays the one card she has up her sleeve in hopes of saving her life while also using what may be her final hours alive to face the choices that have made her the face of futuristic American justice. *Cast* · Eve - W/F. Mid-30's. Convicted killer who has been wasting away in the same jail cell for the last 30 days waiting to be hanged in the town square. · Agatha - B/F. Public defender who has taken up Eve's case from the moment she was arrested. She is tired from working 24/7 hoping to find a reprieve to save Eve's life. · Kaya - W/F Mid-30's. Eve's younger sister. The two share the same biological parents and were adopted together as toddlers. Outspoken and demonstrative, Kaya possesses a sharp tongue and quick temper. She'd blow up the jail if she thought she could save Eve from her fate at the rope. · Fucker - Male. Voice behind the camera that watches Eve's every movement in the jail cell. · Marty - F 40-50's. Seasoned author whose made a life telling others' stories. · Grace - F 30-50. Wife of the judge killed by Eve Auditions will be Saturday December 7th at Noon and Sunday December 8th 7PM Please arrive early to fill out an audition form and bring any conflicts which you may have.
