I am so excited to chat with Natasha!!!

Co-host, Louise Sattler and I had the opportunity to interview Irene, and it was such a blast.  She is so knowledgeable about what it takes for a kid to make it in the biz.  Her method, “the Dray Way”, coaches kids and their parents how to navigate their way through the craziness that is show business.  She offers online and in person coaching for both children and their families. The Dray has helped discover such talents as Miley Cyrus and Zach Efron.  She was also the Executive Producer for “The Suite Life of Zach and Cody” and “The Suite Life on Deck”. If your child is interested in being a star, give a listen.  The Dray knows what to do, and shows you how to do it.

IT IS BACK TO SCHOOL with multiple guests joining Louise Sattler , Education and Entertainment expert from 411 VOICES

Want to know about the Oscars, what goes on behind the scenes and all things entertainment?  Check out Kristyn Burtt.  This energetic LA reporter will keep you posted.  She is a correspondent for ivillage.com and “is an IAWTV award-winning host, new media producer, and pop culture writer”. Check out her resume at her website.  It is most impressive. Kristyn started off a dancer at my alma mater, NYU, but went along with the changes life had to offer.  She finds herself out in LA at press junkets, on the red carpet and talking the Hollywood’s biggest starts.  I’m glad she had time to talk with me…lol I had so much fun chatting with Kristyn, and I bet it was interesting for her to be on the other side of the interview.  Give a listen and enjoy!!!

411Voices brings two hosts during Arts, Entertainment and Joe Bev and Lorie Kellogg started right off with a cast of characters that they just jump into.  These voice actors are so talented, I felt like I was talking to a group of people rather than just two.  They created their own niche in the voice over biz and write, produce and record their own audio books, radio show for XM satellite radio and many other venues. Joe and Lorie made a career out of story telling and live radio performances.  The range of voices they can do rivals the best actors at Hannah Barbera and Warner Brothers.  Co-incidentally, Joe was mentored by Daws Butler, the original voice of Yogi Bear. I had so much fun chatting with Joe and Lorie…and everybody else they brought with them. Enjoy!!!

Ryan George Kittleman has a great “author name”.   Can’t you hear the commercials; “The new book by Ryan George Kittleman”. Anyway, he’s written it.  His novel is called “The Great Peace” and it is about what Ryan knows best, the arts and entertainment business. Ryan’s roots are in music and also entertainment law.  It was a natural for him to write this dark comedy.  His book was a riot to read-I just finished it-and I also had a lot of fun chatting with him. Enjoy!

Being a musician and in the biz for 2 decades, I was so excited to chat with John Latimer. “As a songwriter, entrepreneur and music business professional, John Latimer has over 25 years experience in various aspects of the entertainment and music industry including Talent Buying, Booking, Event and Concert Promotion, Artist Development, Record Label Ownership, Artist and Event Management, Video Directing and Producing, Festival Consulting, Promotion, Publicity and Publishing. ” As a music promoter, John as worked with such acts as Duran Duran, the Ramones and the Police.   He hosted a TV show and presently hosts a podcast, is a music publisher and a college professor.  John also is a music biz consultant.  His company, Undercurrents, offers great tools for promotion.  Wow, he is a busy man. If you are in the music biz or just find it fascinating, give a listen.  Enjoy!!!

Ken McCoy is a busy man.  He is a syndicated freelance photojournalist who’s photos have appeared in the Associated Press, US, OK! Magazine, People, Vibe and Jet Magazines and many more.  He was involved with the Oscars, the American Music Awards and the BET awards. I had a lot of fun chatting with him and learned a lot about the industry. Enjoy!!!
