My favorite thing to do is transform. The further the character is away from me the more I enjoy it.

I was use to wearing things that accentuated and flattered my bust and waist (just shakin' what my mama gave me) and definitely not my thighs.

I hardly ever belted; I was a soprano and a comedienne and intended on doing mostly soprano legit roles but my first equity show, to my surprise, was Blues in The Night at The Cleveland Playhouse.

I love performing in a good straight play as well and I'm a crossover actor, I crossover from plays to musicals, musicals to plays. This is very difficult for performers.

There are definite vocal trends for every generation as well as accents and I'm not talking about regionalisms.

Think of every audition as a chance to perform and you will have fun doing it.

My advice to aspiring performers is trust your instincts, 9 times out of 10 they are perfect.
