Maestro James Conlon, folks.
Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, Anne Tomlinson is my guest this week. We’ve worked with the kids from LACC at the opera for years, and they always turn in wonderful work- the kids are amazing. Having a son and a daughter, I was personally interested in learning more about their great program, and how the students are prepared for performing and for life after LACC. I hope you enjoy the chat- thanks for listening!
Tenor, Arturo Chacon-Cruz is my guest this week. I’ve been a fan of his singing for years, and his personality is just as pleasant as his voice. We had a great chat- I hope you enjoy it, too!
Part two of my two-part interview with the great John Powell. Enjoy!
I’m thrilled to have composer John Powell as my guest this week. He is a titan in the film music world, and a thoughtful, brilliant human being. Our chat went long, so it’s a two-parter. I hope you enjoy it, and make sure to tune in next week for part two. Thanks for listening!
Fletcher Sheridan is a name you may not recognize, unless you’re in the sequestered world of session work in Los Angeles. But, you’ve no doubt heard Fletcher’s solo voice in films like The Lorax, The Hangover 3, Horton Hears a Who, and as a playback singer on just about every major motion picture that uses voices coming out of LA. I think Fletch is super cool, and I know you will, too. Enjoy!
Composer Dale Trumbore is my guest this week. I love her compositional style, her pragmatic attitude and the fact that she came over to have a nice chat for the show. She’s easy going and thoughtful, and I know you’ll like the interview as much as I did. Enjoy!
Composer/producer Michael Nielsen is my guest this week. He’s a founding partner of Ninja Tracks, the premier creators of film trailer and video game music. I guarantee you’ve heard a lot of their stuff, if you like going to the movies. Or maybe you’ve seen his YouTube or Facebook channel, Big Hairy Guitars? Michael is a sensitive and very nice fellow, and I’m happy to call he and his partners Kaveh and Collin, friends. I hope you enjoy our chat, and thanks for tuning in!
Chris and I go way back to Cal State Fullerton. He’s carved out a nice career for himself as a bass-baritone, singing all over the world, including the Metropolitan Opera. I hadn’t seen him for over a decade, and it was great catching up over our chat. He’s a thoughtful guy- hard working, talented and a real rising star, so look out for him! Enjoy!
Tim Campbell is an audio book narrator, working singer and all-around nice guy. He’s narrated a ton of books in all different genres, using accents and the whole bit. Please check him out at www.timcampbell.me- his sample readings are amazing! I learned a lot about the narration business and I found our talk really informative and interesting- I hope you do to!
