Can you tell us anything productive you’ve been doing?
I have actually just started teaching online for the first time, I have been in quite a lot of rock shows so I have focussed mainly on that, as well as audition technique and general musical theatre. Message me if you would be interested in starting lessons, I teach all levels of ability. I am also currently planning a live stream concert.
Whenever you log onto social media there is so much negativity circulating. How have you been trying to keep a positive mental attitude during these times?
I find social media can be both a blessing and a curse, I am quite a positive person, I am a big fan of the book 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrne, she has a 'Daily Teachings App' and I find that reading 1 page a day really kicks off your morning. I also follow 'The Power of Positivity' on Facebook, this is a great account to keep a positive mental attitude at this tough time especially, and it has helped me a lot over the years.
