FEEDBACK FROM PARTICIPANTS:

“Michael explained the human voice as an instrument in a way that let me actually understand how best to use it – and what I needed to learn and work on. The facility was amazing and the use of a real booth and engineer helped the non-craft side of auditions and work – dealing with microphones, copy stands, direction over the intercom, etc.  Working with others created wonderful friendship and sharing opportunities.”

“Michael is a great director, so patient and positive.  He always found a way to move us forward.”

“I needed to learn the differences between live action acting and VO animation acting.  Michael helped me fine tune the animation voices right for me.”

“Michael creates a very safe place to try new things. Very fun and supportive.”

“Michael is amazing! I have taken a number of workshops for animation but either by CD’s or technicians.  Never have I learned about placement or care of the voice and so much about options for characters. I am inspired! Thank you!”

This album focuses on the concept of “Motherhood” and will be written and recorded all during the term of Scarlett’s first time pregnancy. This is a very special moment in time to document, as it will never exist again.

She has come together with her husband, celebrity photographer and co-creator of The Zodiac Show, Lee Cherry, and Guy Baruch, CEO of Media Temple Productions and co-founder of Open Artist Movement, to executive produce.

This unique concept, combined with Scarlett’s unmistakable world-class vocals, have attracted some of the most talented songwriters and musicians in Los Angeles. Scarlett has co-written these songs with the amazing Alisan Porter (The Canyons, The Zodiac Show), Ely Rise (Macy Gray) Ty Taylor (Rock Star INXS, Vintage Trouble, The Zodiac Show), Davy Nathan (Tony Braxton, Jason Derulo, Christina Aguilera), Ilsey Juber (The Canyons), and Jordan Lawhead (The Canyons).

We’ve just completed laying down the heartbeat of the album, the percussion, with the amazing Ameenah Kaplan (Blue Man Group, STOMP, Adam Lambert, Rihanna). You can stay updated on this exciting project at LaborofLoveProject.com
