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

AUDITION CALL FOR "Crossfaded" - Cleveland State University Student Film
by Jeffrey Rucker 30 Dec '24

30 Dec '24

Audition Call for "Crossfaded," a Cleveland State University Thesis Film. Target Shoot Dates: February 28th - March 2nd & March 7th - March 9th, 2025 (Two Weekends / 6 Days) Logline: When a jaded weed-pedaling stoner in his senior year of college and a benevolent socially drinking freshman fraternity pledge are locked in the basement of a frat party, the two strangers cogitate exploring each other's worlds for the first time in their lives. It’s a coming of age story that impels two different backgrounds of human beings to recognize each other beyond the archetypes that they see. Looking to cast two male actors. Given the nature of the film pertaining to drugs and alcohol, we ask that only +18 submit for the roles. - Malcolm - A cynical, weed-pedaling, loner in his senior year of college. - Ethnicity: Black / African Descent - Remy - An altruistic, socially awkward, freshman fraternity pledge. - Ethnicity: Open to any THINGS TO CONSIDER*** : The script contains moments of actors handling MARIJUANA, ALCOHOL, and a live REGAL JUMPING SPIDER. (Yes, a living spider!) “For this project, I’ve adopted and have been taking care of a little spider. To be honest, I used to be afraid of spiders, but for the art and this project, it’s a commitment to growth. Actors will also be welcomed and encouraged to observe the spider/rehearse, in person, before the intended shoot date.” - Jeffrey Rucker / The Director Actors will not be paid for the performance. However, meals will be provided on shooting days, actors will receive copies of their footage, and we’ll do our best to help with gas or rides. Filming will take place in or around Cleveland, Ohio.
