FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fee for most performance jobs ranges between $350- $500.00. The fee is not directly based on the length of time requested by the client, which is just one factor that has already been considered in setting my fee range. If I was hired to perform for an hour, but the customer needs me for an additional 15 minutes or half hour, I do not make an additional charge. I want my customers to have the best experience possible for their event.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When a customer expresses an interest in hiring me through Thumbtack, we then have a conversation (through email or phone) on what the needs of the customer are for their event and how we can best make their event a memorable experience for them and their guests. I will then provide them with a final fee, and will hold the date on my calendar once a deposit has been paid and a simple event agreement of understanding has been sent (emailed) to the client.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been working as a professional actor, singer and stage director for over twenty-five years. I have performed for audiences throughout the Northeast and Florida and have entertained hundreds of audiences as a singer and singer/pianist. My education includes two graduate degrees in theatre training: a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from Florida Atlantic U. and a Ph D in Theatre from Michigan State U. Aside from formal university training, I am continuously maintaining and upgrading my skills in music and vocal training with private lessons and training courses.
