It is rare that the audio on a show gets singled out by a reviewer, but I can't help but share this glowing review for my work on The Mitchell Old Company's production of HEATHERS: The Musical at the ARA Darling Quarter Theatre:

"The audio is also terrific here. Technically this show is operated with skill – that reverb after Smith’s final sustained note in Freeze Your Brain – can I say, chilling? Yeah, why not because this is a big show that makes an asset out of its tropes with one wonderful exception. The volume. The band never overwhelms and there no sense of some power mad designer seeing ‘rock musical’ and thinking, kick-ass loud. Where I was sitting at least, no earplugs needed, words foregrounded in the design and even when the fabulous band is doing some scene change covering, not too loud."

I do the work that I do on musical theatre because of a love for the art and the amazing talent that I get to work with, both on the stage and beyond the limelight.

Still, to read feedback like this is always the cherry on top of an opportunity to work on an amazing production like this one.

Make sure to grab tickets, there's only three weeks left of the run!

There's always a buzz that hits on opening night; a nervous excitement as you realise that you're standing on the precipice of something great, and the only thing between you and the moment of truth is time, and the final preparations found in the transition between 'tech mode' and 'show mode'.

I'm so glad I've been able to work with the amazing The Mitchell Old Company on this production of one of my favourite shows, and the next 3.5 weeks are going to be an amazing rush of show after show after show. ^~^

I spend a lot of time behind a mixing desk these days but some events call for my skills focussing on microphone technicals, and managing wireless systems as well.

And some events afford me the fun of doing both! I love it. ^~^

Come see my work with The Mitchell Old Company at their production of HEATHERS: The Musical! Opening February 11th with previews throughout next week!

A cheeky shot of me tracking guide vocals for an upcoming recording project I'm soon to spam you all with teasers for, I'm sure.

Sometimes it's not about the discipline and the training, sometimes it's about being comfy and having fun with the song!

Beginning to dust the cobwebs off my social media presence given the new start our amazing industry is about to have in this (hopefully) post-lockdown environment!

Stay tuned for updates on events EM-Jay Media is providing services for, the release of media that EM-Jay Media creates or assists on, and even updates on side projects such as Twitch Streaming and songwriting!

2022 is looking like it will be a fantastic year, knock on wood, and one sorely needed after the challenges faced in 2020 and 2021!

Also, a huge (and far too belated) shout-out to UTS Backstage for their amazing 'A Change In The Air' cabaret found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1MKoc4a1lU

This was an amazing project to be involved in and I think every song they published was incredibly well done both musically and visually! It's highly worth the hour of your time it'll take to enjoy this production. :)
