ABOUT ME

-I think the world would be a perfect place if it were peopled with Grouchos and Gandhis.
-If I'm not laughing I'm probably dead.
-I'm trying to figure out exactly how to meld my two passions: travel and theatre. I currently live in Prague, but I am moving to NYC.

PHILOSOPHY

"The only people for me are the mad ones; the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars- and in the middle we see the blue centerlight pop and everyone goes awww......" - Jack Kerouac

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a freelance accent and dialect coach and am attempting to record people from all walks of life and as many countries as possible to create a collection of vocal recordings. Everyone has a very unique voice and I am interested in discovering differences and similarities. I perform for a living so I am always willing to strum a bit on the ukulele and sing. I'm always up to learn new music too. Music exchange!
