funny men years
Very often, I don't make it through moments of recording because it is genuinely funny and absolutely ridiculous that a 60-year-old grown man is making these noises.
commitment outcomes scheduling
A lot affects the outcome. It boils down to scheduling and the commitment of the network.
teacher school high-school
High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.
character important engagement
It's really important to stay engaged and involved in the character.
disappointment kids surround-sound
Kids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.
nice hands people
People are nice enough, but you can hear the giant tick of the second hand. People are so harried.
couple play want
There are a couple of roles I haven't played that I want to. I would love to play Shiloh.
inspirational family mean
Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.
achieve bar helping hopefully listening love middle people
I love being in the middle of it - listening a bar ahead, helping people achieve a performance, and hopefully not getting in the way of them!
architecture moments playing wish
There are moments when you wish you had had two more rehearsals, but the architecture is there, and the playing is often more than competent.
love notion purpose spirits uplifted
I think our spirits are exceedingly important. I love the notion of congregating for the purpose of being uplifted without words.
affected offer performers present spirit
Spirit is not present in digital. You can tell when performers are committed. All you have to do is offer yourself and be affected by it.
critically hear hour window
I've only got about a 3-hour window for recording. After the two-and-a-half hour mark, you can't hear critically what you're doing anymore.
biography recording
I'm actually recording for PBS, doing some pickups for a narration I did on Chicago. When you're doing a biography of a town, I'm your voice!
