Hello lovelies,
Holy cow! I heard all of these were smaller artists, and some have consistently been up for voting. It's great to see the community come together and make something happen.
I'm really looking forward to reviewing one of these. Listen to the playlist below, then cast your vote or votes for which ones you think would make the best analysis!
Bests,

Hi y'all,
Slight shift in plans for tomorrow's live chat. I'd like to switch to a conversational AMA instead of Beat Saber, as Kirk hasn't been feeling so well. It takes a lot of time to prepare the Beat Saber session (which Kirk does) and I'd like to support him in taking it easy.
We'll reschedule for the first Friday that we're back in July!
If y'all get a chance in the next couple of days, please tell Kirk thank you. He's always doing things behind the scenes to he...
2024-06-21 04:31:39 +0000 UTC View PostHello dear patrons,
I'll be starting the live patron chat in a little over half an hour (6:00PM Pacific Time). The topic will be Debrief on Vocal Foundation Symposium (plus a little on the NY trip).
With your blessing, I'd like to keep the chat to half an hour tonight. We've been pretty run down since returning from the trip, plus kiddo is a lot to handle with the kitchen being demolished.

Hello lovelies!
I'd first like to state that the last two poll winners videos are uploaded to YouTube, and we'll be releasing them soon. One I'm currently clearing a copyright block, and the other is being uploaded tonight. Hoping at some point this month we can get them out! (that would be Creedence Clearwater Revival and Men At Work respectively).
Here's the top 5 for May from the Discord server. Please listen to each performance individually before casting your vote. Somet...
For those of you attending the opera tonight - I highly recommend at least reading the article from Opera Philadelphia below. Having a sense how this opera is historically set will help.

Tomorrow's TCV premiere will go down in history.
We have never worked so hard on a video, nor released such a professionally refined documentary. While this is already a lot, it wouldn't be possible without the initial work that went into planning and doing the research study.
I'm extra excited that we'll be tuning in from The Voice Foundation Symposium, where we'll be huddled with a group of vocal researchers, likely whispering and giggling and biting our nails all together whi...

Here's the screen recording from tonight's live Beat Saber chat. I apologize for the way it was screen recorded. I should have asked everyone to turn their cameras off so Teams would highlight the stream and my webcam during the chat, which would have made this look a bit better.
IF Kirk can't get this figured out for Twitch streaming next month, we'll do it again in Teams with a similar process.
I hope y'all enjoyed this session! It was a TON of fun!

2024-05-23 02:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello all!
We shifted our Beat Saber session from two weeks ago to today as we were having technical difficulties, and a slight panic attack. Less stress today (though it's still present) and we're off to the races!
We're having issues getting the new headset all set up, and I hope there's enough time to make this happen. We're going to do everything we can to make Beat Saber a reality today. However, if we fail for any reason, we'll shift the songs that have been suggested to J...

Hello lovely Patrons,
Our in-person event at the Met is fast approaching, and we finally have the details ironed out.
Here's the schedule:

Sorry for sending this note out so late. We had a business meeting scheduled during live chat time, and I wasn't going to be here at the start to run the game - so I've been waiting to see what's happened with my sickness. Down with it!
Well, I'm canceling that meeting, so 2T1L will go on!
For those that have played before, there's no topic this time so it can be anything. To those new, the rules are simple:

Hello lovely Patrons,
I'm going to have to beg for your forgiveness and understanding.
The stress levels have shot through the roof in the last few days and part of the big stress has been technical problems configuring the new Beat Saber setup. We'll have a tech helper arrive later tonight (my brother will be staying with us for a week), but there's no way we're going to have it ready for Patron Chat tonight.
Rather than shifting to another topic tonight, I'd like to take t...

Hello lovelies!
This Friday, May 10th I'll be hosting a get together at the Kamelot / Ad Infinitum concert here in Tucson, Arizona.
I'll be at the venue a little early to meet & greet outside, and then when we get inside we'll do some special stuff while we wait, and of course experience a freaking phenomenal upcoming set by two singers I seriously admire.
If you're in the Phoenix or Tucson area, this is something you don't want to miss!
Hello lovelies!
Today, I'd like to discuss your favorite live performances you've ever been to, and what made them special. What memories you might have from that experience that you can share with the class.
I think this is on the back of the Jinjer concert last week, and the upcoming Kamelot performance we'll be going to (plus The Met in June) that I'm just really getting excited for live music again.
Look forward to seeing y'all!

This June 4th, 2024, we are hosting an Opera event at The Met in NYC. I am currently working with The Met on group seating, group discounts and making sure we have the best experience possible to one of my favorite operas that will be playing then.
I need a firm headcount of everyone that's attending so I can make sure the section we're reserving is large enough. IF you buy your tickets on your own (and not through me and the group) you most likely won't be sitti...

Here's today's Beat Saber session. While this recording setup worked a bit better, we're going to make a few more adjustments to get better sound quality leading up to us potentially streaming this on Twitch.
And when Twitch happens, we'll most possibly increase the amount of sessions, meaning we'll be able to take more song requests.
Stay tuned, and let me know how y'all like this!

Hello lovelies!
An hour from the time on this post, I'll be logging into Teams for today's Beat Saber session. There's a LOT of songs on the list, so I'll try and be efficient.
Some notes:
- I have cameras turned off for guests. Since we're recording, I want to make sure the recorded screen is as large as possible for those that can't be at the live chat.
- I'd ask that if it's not your song, you let the person presenting their song speak (if they're present). There's a LO...

Here's the Beat Saber live chat session from this month. We had a special birthday gift in the form of Purest Gold by Miracle of Sound turned into a map, and Gavin came and supported through this playthrough!
Two things of note: Kirk added the audio to the portion where I went through the whole song, as it was muted unfortunately during the actual plathrough. And secondly, I didn't know I needed to pin my video so my screen is the same size as everyone elses.
