    Any suggestions for actresses to record the song? Help us pick someone good - we want our first real FreshX recording to rock...

    Cortney Wolfson or Natalie Weiss.

    I love their voices!

    This is what happens when you youtube search the colleges you're looking into.

    There's a girl at my school, (Boston Conservatory), named Stephanie Umoh who is possibly one of the most incredible performers I have ever seen. She's a senior this year and a local Boston celebrity. I'd most definitely look into her.

    Although if you're looking for college freshman, I could always be of service :]

    We were just at BoCo! We gave a quick "masterclass" (though god knows we aren't masters of ANYTHING) to some of fran charnas' students. big boco fans. honestly, hadn't occured to me to use a real college freshman. i was thinking of mid-20s NYC actresses... cause those are the people i know... :)

    Yeah - it didn't occur to me that we could use a college freshman either... much harder to find but an interesting idea. I'm inclined to say that we should think about doing that for the next recording - have a little bit of a contest where people can submit audio or video recordings or something? Just brainstorming now. I think this one, we're probably going to have to use a NYC actress, however, cuz we want to get this recording out there sooner than later.

    There's plenty of talent in our freshman class. It's incredible. I think it's a wonderous idea :]

    Since I know you're NYC based, I'll put this out there: lots of terrific talent at Marymount Manhattan College. I'm amazed at some of the freshman talent that came in this year (not to mention my friends who have been here two, three, four years).

    Unfortunately I've never been to New York (although I REALLY want to!) or know anyone from New York so I'm not much help >.>

    But besides that lil fact...I just showed the sheet music to 'My Heart Is Split' to my voice teacher and he gave me the ok to sing it so I might get to sing it for my vocal performance class sometime in april. If I can somehow dig up my video camera maybe I can post a vid vid of me singing 'My Heart Is Split' ^-^

    Put it on youtube and definitely send us the link, Miss Erin!

    Melissa Lyons is quite fantastic and she can probably sing anything, it's true. :)

    So I finally figured out how to work iSight on my mac, and the result is a pretty rough video of "My Heart Is Split", but I posted it today. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it appear when you search for the song, but here's the link! :

    (very rough, and in a practice room!)

    Ah! Thanks, I'm so happy you like it!! I feel like semi-famous since you guys are such big deal...but mostly I'm just happy I win! I mean, I get a trophy, right?

    I think it's so cool where music theatre is headed right now...it's so collaborative, I love it! And I just ordered "Freedom", so more videos from Viterbo to come!

    Hey there,

    I'm a pretty big fan of your work. I saw this new song "My Heart is Split" and thought it looked pretty neat... but I guess it's for a girl. Nevertheless, as I found the material to be a pretty universal feeling (except my feet would be terribly cramped in size 5 shoes), I recorded it. I hope you don't hate it.

    You can watch the video here:

    Thanks so much! and keep writing!! :-D

    If I can ever learn to play or get a hold of a good recording of the accompaniment to "Run Away With Me" I would love to post that as well. If I do, you'll be the first to know! :)

    Thanks again,
    ~D. Shines 8-}

    i think the idea of having some sort of contest to perform some of your songs, with people sending in audio or video clips and such is a great idea.... i think especially with the growth in fanbase you've made over the internet, this could be quite a hit...and it might bring even more publicity to you guys...

    Hi Brain and Kait- I would love to sing " My heart is split" or even other stuff you've written like " Not a love story" I bought the sheet music to both songs, but I would love to find the backing track to either so I can sing and post it. :) You guys are wonderful!!

    Thanks!
