This is a demonstration of the type of singing I'm grateful to have done for some of the world's finest composers and producers in film, television, albums, commercials, and live recordings over the past ten years or so. These are just some of the excerpts from the full Kaleidoscope sampler which has additional sections of "seriously classical," "light-jazz & semi-classical," and an earlier variety sampler with other styles called VocalArt. Of course, just when I thought I'd sung everything, I did a country - yodeling job just after I put this together! Please start with part one. The style of singing and the part I've sung with additional work I've done is listed on the right. Thanks for listening and enjoy the sampler. If you are a person who hires vocalists and you'd like a hard copy of the entire sampler, please email me with your address and the type of work you do and I will send you the full Kaleidoscope vocal sampler for your files at no charge, of course. If your are a singer and would like me to produce your sampler in my studio, send me an e-mail with your contact information and I'd be happy to speak with you about producing your demo. The following lists all the tracks on the demo CD. Note that audio is only available for the first Variety Spectrum 1 set (tracks 1-28) |
