Remedies for Singers' Voice9-1-15
The voice is not an organ, but rather, the external phonatory output of the vocal tract. While this may seem obvious, it has important implications for all voice clinicians (laryngologist, speech language pathologist, voice teacher, voice coach, and voice scientist).

The Meaning of Art3-1-15
To ask what art is good for is not exactly the same as asking what its purpose is. Art does not have to have a purpose - it does not exist in order to teach, to urge a moral point, to entertain, to distract, to amuse, to serve beauty, to support a revolution, to disgust, to challenge, to stimulate or to cheer; it exists for its own sake. It is the artist, not art as such, that may have an aim in mind, and his aim may be to do any of the things just listed. Artists make art because they have to. Applause is nice- but not necessary to call something art.

5 Great Holiday Plays26-12-14
With it being Christmas time I'm thinking of all the awesome plays that could play in Hong Kong and be a rousing success. Someone should get the rights to these and perform them soon. It would be awesome. *hint hint* Although, we would be in need of plenty of cute child actors to take on some pivotal roles. What's a Christmas movie without an adorable kid in it? Dickens' A Christmas Carol is not on the list because I think it has been done to death. A bad community theatre production of it is enough to drive this blogger to "holiday related" suicide.
