The Way to BROADWAY
Do you want to know how I became the lead actor in the first Broadway Show I ever booked? Hours and hours of vocal training, acting lessons, hundreds of auditions that went nowhere, and stamina. That's right, stamina! Yes stamina to take rejection after rejection. Stamina to do six low budget shows a week for $10 a show.  And stamina for my voice to hold out to get me through all of this until that day I booked my first Broadway Show.  I want to share my experience, knowledge, and techniques with you.  I want to teach you how you can do this too.  It takes drive, commitment, and yes stamina.  And I can help you lay the foundation for your voice to build a career off of.
