Introduction

Greetings! I am a professional classical singer, voice teacher and coach (privately and at NYU, etc.), actor, director-producer, composer and arranger. I love to help pros and non-pros develop their talents and perform in public spaces.

What attracts you most about this Something to Sing About Meetup?

Supportive vocal coaching & group workshops offered to improve skills-confidence needed to perform in showcases and other venues including shelters (new project), nursing homes, schools and theatres. Some training/experience preferred. Good exposure.

What Anna Bartos is saying about this Meetup Group

Our meetup group has proven a wonderful venue for singers and actors to learn skills. gain self-confidence, realize their performance dreams, and strut their talented stuff. May it continue for a long time to come! Here are some reviews from performers and audience members of our last concert on September 11 which we hosted for the September Concert Foundation: It was a privilege to work with Anna Bartos on this 9/11 memorial concert. All of the performers were of high caliber and the audience rewarded our efforts with heartfelt applause. The program, with its mixture of styles and its emphasis on Americana, was just perfect for the anniversary date._____Moshe Knoll, Classical pianist I had a great time yesterday. It was a meaningful and good organized concert. Thank you so much for inviting us again.___Rosa Hyewon Lee, Classical guitarist who played with flutist Soo-Kyung Park

Anna,
Here's what I get for not reading the fine print -- I have absolutely no sheet music/song to bring. Would you have something on hand that might be suit a beginner like myself? Heck, I'll sing Happy Birthday, if necessary. Thank you--

Hi Anna,

Thanks for the message about the 1/21 workshop! I wasn't sure I could make it until now so I just RSVP-ed. I saw that there's a maximum of 8 singers at this workshop so I'm not sure if I can still attend? I also remember seeing somewhere that first timers can bring a guest to observe without a fee - my boyfriend is interested in joining and would like to come. Is that ok?

Thanks!

My friend Suzannah who will be joining me *is* a singer and plans to participate in the workshop. I'll ask her if she wants to join the meetup group. Thanks.

Hi Anna,
sorry for the confusion, the badge -- it's actually the one under the Home button on the site screen, can just be purchased from Nestor in person. As I'm going to wear the badge, you can't miss me and our group after the concert.
See you there tonight,
Akio

And yes I do read music even though my voice is still getting back into shape after years of not singing very much (other than belting my brains out at karaoke nights). BTW - I studied at your program at NYU back in the day when it was SEHNAP instead of Steinhart. I started there as a vocal performance major but transferred to Tisch my sophomore year. If I recall correctly, I think a lot of friends had you as their voice teacher. I studied with Pina Mozzani.

Greetings and Welcome!
Have you always wanted to sing or act, but never did? Did other things get in your way, like a day job? Or, did you sing/act a long time ago and want to get back into it? Well, here's your chance to make your life-long dream come true!

SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT! gives you a golden opportunity to try out new material or perfect songs and monologues you have already performed or presented at auditions for a live, friendly audience at performance venues in Manhattan. Friends, family, agents and all others are always welcome to attend showcases.

If singing is your passion, PLEASE JOIN OUR MEETUP, and post some information about yourself on your profile page, including any vocal and/or instrumental training and performing experience you have had, your aspirations for the future, your choice of repertoire, etc. All types of music and comic or dramatic pieces are acceptable.

STSA MEEETS approximately two-four times a month at a midtown Manhattan location. It would be very helpful to us if you would tell us which days are best for you! Once you join, you will be notified when the next meetup will take place, That information will also be posted on our message board.

Performers with one-two person cabaret acts or original musical dramas or spoofs are encouraged to join this meet-up. Vocal coaching and performance workshops will provide helpful techniques to enhance your showcase performance. Approximately 4-showcases are presented throughout the year.

PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES: Showcases, Performances for Children at Schools, Homeless Shelters, theatres, etc.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING!
