Ps, save the date for our final concert Saturday June 20!

The kid was on TV with the Colburn Choir! They're singing this Saturday 2/28, with their year-end show coming May 2nd. We're so fortunate to have her in such a spectacular program :)

NEED A COPY EDITOR?

My "day-job" pendulum has swung back from hospitality to proofreading/editing, recently doing Chicago Style academic editing for the Journal of Law, Medicine & Ethics, a Cambridge University Press publication. The articles I've handled aren't quite out yet, but I can provide samples and a recommendation. Hit me up and we'll talk rates!

Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone seen or heard of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard of a believer in the Lotus Sutra who turned into an ordinary person. The sutra reads, "If there are those who hear the Law, then not a one will fail to attain Buddhahood." - Nichiren Daishonin

I first joined the musical staff of San Gabriel Valley Choral Company in their 20th season, and now we're celebrating our 30th! While I've been in and out depending on my other performing commitments, every time I return I'm once again amazed at the musicianship and dedication of this small-but-mighty group in idyllic Monrovia. Join us at beautiful St. Luke's for an eclectic program of holiday cheer sure to raise your spirits high!

12/13 Tickets!

NEW THIS YEAR we're offering a FREE Community sing-along! No RSVP necessary for this 2pm matinee on Sunday 12/7, just show up and sing out!

NEED A HOLIDAY BARTENDER?

While I'm not looking for long-term hospitality work, seasonal or event bartending would be awesome. I can join a crew for a big blowout, or design and serve a bespoke menu for your fancy holiday cocktail party. I'll even sing! Drop a line, and we'll figure something out :).

Big changes afoot here in DTLA!

I have retired from regular bartending. As much as I love the social aspect of the work, and miss my Plunge family, the late hours and wear on my body were just getting to be too much, so…

I built a sound booth!

I'm making a fresh effort to join my many friends in audiobook narration, and would love it if you checked out my demos and whatnot at voice.jacobsidney.com! Several of you have already been so generous with your advice and introductions: Thank you! If we haven't spoken yet and you're active in this industry, I'd be grateful to hear any thoughts.

I have profiles up on AHAB, ACX, and APA, and have had some great face-to-face meetings with producers already! I'm really enjoying the process, and look forward to much more. In the meantime, however…

I NEED WORK

In addition to the exciting narration prospects, I've had a flurry of great auditions (and callbacks!) recently, and hope I can confirm something to share very soon! The contracts wouldn't start until the new year, though, so I'm looking for anything to get me through the holidays: Non-profit marketing? Database management? Live event production? Bring it on!

SPEAKING OF SINGING

With my evenings free again, I'm thrilled to return to San Gabriel Valley Choral Company at beautiful St. Luke's Episcopal in idyllic Monrovia, CA! Our holiday concert is a matinee this year, 2:30pm on Saturday 13 December. Stay tuned for tickets!
