HEY EVERYBODY IT’S ME, KURT!
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!!
I have spent 37 years as a professional performer; from being a soloist on the Grand Ole Opry and singing for the Chippendales, to recording voiceovers for Disney and performing on Broadway. Currently I sing in the acclaimed a cappella group VOCTAVE and I’d like to share some tricks and gadgets I’ve found over the years (and continue to discover) that are must havesfor all performers, whether amateur or a seasoned professional. We have all learned that rest and hydration are key to keeping our voices up to par for the live shows, but we are also learning that mental rest is just as important when we’re off stage or traveling. Sometimes finding quiet places to unwind is difficult, especially when you’re in an SUV with 3 or 4 other people and they often want to chat and listen to music on the long road trips. But each of us in the group are finding ways to pamper ourselves, even if it’s just a little, and learning that makes a huge difference. I’m using this page as a way to share the things that have made the biggest difference for many of us in the group. As we discover new items I’ll continue to share them with you.
I hope you find these as helpful as I have!
