All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray....

Ok so the leaves haven't turned yet but the skies have been a bit greyer lately (plus I always giggle when I sing this song after the Sketch Show skit check it out here). Autumn is definitely here and as today is the last day of March we are set for a new month.
I was reflecting back on the last three months and can not believe how much has happened!

First of all I hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter. What did you get up to? Do you have a tradition that you do every year? I was asked this year as the Guest Soloist at Box Hill Salvation Army's Easter celebrations. I truly love Easter music and so it always is such a pleasure to share it with others plus I got to stay and spend time with my sister Lauren, Aaron and Bella. So I had a lovely time away and was really happy with how my voice was. I have been singing so much lately, it was getting tired but it seems it has always been conditioned :)

The weekend before Easter was Soul Factor's performances of Power of His Love. What a wonderful musical that is, such amazing music and powerful story. The audiences loved it and we loved performing it. I will admit I was very tired at the end of the day but happy and proud of Soul Factor for another fabulous performance.

So looking back on the last three months, I have to say I have been so blessed with singing opportunities. 3 Musicals in 3 months, in rehearsals for the 4th and have a 5th lined up. I've been able to play numerous characters that I love and have also had the chance to sing at other events. I have loved every moment of it and thank God everyday that He uses my talents in this way.



So here's to April and what it brings.

Keep singing :)

Be the Hero of your story....

Well after around 4 months of rehearsal the time has come for us to open "Big Fish" the Musical. Tonight is the Preview before tomorrow Opening Night and I am so excited to share it with audiences and bring the SA Premiere to Adelaide! You may have gathered from other posts that I LOVE this musical and the role that I am playing. Of all the lead roles I have played, this one, Sandra Bloom, is a special one. But I think that has a lot to do with the cast, production team and all those involved with putting this show on. It has been such a wonderful rehearsal period creating something beautiful and for that I feel very blessed. I get to sing some beautiful songs, be a mother and grandmother and have red hair! Plus you don't want to miss my blue Sparkly dress!! If you are trying to decide whether to come to it as you don't know the story or music I encourage you to take a leap and come along. This music had me from the first listen and the story is so full of heart ...

Music for Mums!

Well I haven't written for a while, sorry about that! I have been so busy with trying to do assignments, work, rehearse, sing, teach its been crazy!!! anyway so Mother's Day is this weekend. The day when we celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who do so much for us and loves us tremendously. So what are you doing for your Mum this year? Flowers? Chocolates? Promises you don't intend to keep? (line from Beauty & the Beast hehe!!) Spa Treatment? Lunch cooked by you? Movies? I'd love to hear some of your ideas. This year, as it will be a tough one, the first without Alex, we are all flying to Tassie to be with my sister and her husband away from home. It should be a lovely time and the first time Mum & Dad have seen my sisters house. (For Liv and I, its the 3rd time there in less than 6 months!) Of course, as we are there we, The Raymond Sisters, have been booked to sing at the Red Shield Festival Saturday at the Bellerive Boardwalk. We are doing a 30m...

2018 Celebration!!

2018 has really been an amazing year.  When I look back on what I've actually done this year it is actually quite crazy but I've enjoyed every minute of it.  There have been times of difficulty and real stress when things didn't go to plan but God has blessed me so abundantly and really allowed me to use my gifts to share with people and to create a life that is really full of joy. So at the beginning of this year, I actually said I was gonna have a quieter year and that turned out to not be true in the slightest. But it has been amazing!  So this year, I have done Oklahoma on a Farm twice, played Princess Fiona in an SA Premiere of Shrek (plus learned to tap dance), done a Bee Gee's Tribute with my sisters, climbed aboard a Pirate Ship many times, been a Siamese Twin in SideShow the Musical, been an Ice & Fire Queen, learnt and performed many Elvis songs, sang on a Cruise Ship,  sang on the radio 4 times, perfomed in concerts, gigs, dinne...
