Cabaret artist Pat Whiteman (Amanda McBroom, Carol Hall, Musical Performance Workshop) reveals what finally made her trust her life and take the leap and into being a full time singer. She also gives her insights on why workshops are important for an artist’s growth, her own process for developing her shows, and her observations on reality singing competitions.
Pat has performed in musical theater, teaches and coaches, is a voice over artist and has sung on several national jingles. Pat became an instructor at the Department of Entertainment Studies at UCLA Extension teaching its Finding Your Voice Workshop and currently teaches her own Musical Performance Workshop. Pat has also performed her show at the metropolitan room in NYC to rave reviews.

SINGING LESSONS:
- You have to find your tribe.
- There are so many paths to your journey and sometimes it just take you a little bit longer because of that.
- Give yourself that time and everything will fall into place. You’ll find your workshop, you’ll find your class you can take where you’ll meet other singers, and performers and then it’ll move from there.
- Being brave enough to try and stretch is the work of the artist.
- Most singers have earned their voices.
- Open mics are a great forum to get better and try new things.
- Just because the audience is polite or quiet doesn’t mean that they’re not liking it.
