Welcome Message

As you may know, this blog started life as a resource aimed at the members and Alumni of Birmingham University's Guild Musical Theatre Group.















Since then, I have realised that a great many artists I know could use a serious resource for discussion and debate of the major issues.















So, I open this network to any and all arts professionals who would like to use it. Over the years, I have seen some awe inspiring performances and productions by a great many talented and high ranking individuals, whose knowledge would be an asset to the artistic community. I invite these individuals and others to come forward, so that their achievements may be celebrated.






If you would like to write articles or make comments on this blog, please let me know. My contact email is on the link. Membership is free, and there are no obligations. Existing members are free to write as and when they want.








Its is also easy to forget, that we don't often have a chance to discuss or to think about the most serious issues affecting the arts. Despite all the progress made by online networks like Facebook and Twitter, there still needs to be a place where opinions can be viewed, and I hope that this will be such a place: a neutral ground, where all are welcome, and where knowledge can be shared.















Artists of all disciplines, I hope that this will assist your development and further networking. May this resource serve you well.















Best Regards,















James Megarry

Good Direction and Vocal Skills - David Guetta's Example

It's funny how good direction can make such a difference to any performer. A very good example at the moment can be found i the music industry. You have to admit, David Guetta can bring out the best in every pop star's voice he works with. Yes the recording arstists have a massive studio full of technology to remix their voices and add backing, unlike the live stage. But all the same, Guetta has managed to bring out a range from every singer, from Usher to Jessi J, that you never knew they had.

I would argue the same is possible on a stage. A talented performer can still be let down by poor direction and vocal coaching. The audience doesn't get to see the best of them, their strengths that is. Leadership counts for a lot, and David Guetta's work in the music industry right now is a perfect example.
