AmyI’m Amy and singing is all I’ve ever wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I am never happier than when I am singing and performing. I started singing in my church youth choir then quickly began singing with the senior choir even though I was still only in middle school and the youngest member of the choir. In high school I was a member of every choral group my school had to offer: Show Choir, Chamber Singers, musicals (of which I had the leads starting in my sophomore year), as well as county, district, and state choruses. I now sing with my church’s awesome praise band and I am a member of my city’s Maennerchor chorus, which is a traditional German choir; each year we travel to compete in a Saengerfest, which is a German singing competition, where we compete against other Maennerchors from our great state of Pennsylvania. I love being a part of the Maennerchor. We are a tight-knit group of musicians who share a love of singing and we love coming together each week to share that love and to enjoy being in the company of all our choir mates. Singing, my faith, my involvement in my church’s praise team and the Maennerchor have all been a lifeline for me; in 2011 I gave birth to our first child, Norah. To our disbelief Norah was stillborn after an otherwise healthy pregnancy at 38 weeks, 5 days. After the death of our baby I fell into a deep depression and stopped singing altogether. I felt as though I died when she did and the song in my heart was extinguished for quite some time after her death. I quit the Maennerchor and disassociated myself with the people and things I had always held dear. I retreated into myself and wanted nothing to do with the world in which everyone else seemed so happy because I was so very sad. We joined our church two months after losing Norah and about a year after that I began singing again as a part of the praise band at church. Three years after having Norah I gave birth to her sister, Olivia who was perfectly healthy and gorgeous. Shortly after giving birth to Olivia I began singing with the Maennerchor again. I didn’t realize how much I missed being a part of the choir. It is something I could never see myself giving up again. The weekly camaraderie and immersion in music nourishes my soul. Without singing I would be empty. Singing has allowed me to evolve in my grief for my daughter in ways nothing else could. I need to sing. Singing is what defines me and what sustains me. I would love to participate in your show so I can experience even more of the fulfillment that singing can bring. Thank you for your consideration!! 0 Reply July 12, 2015
ShaayHello,I am Patrice, yet many call me Shaay. I was born and raised in North Carolina. I’ve loved to sing since 8 years old-performing in numerous talent shows, churches, and community events. I have been in different choirs and ensembles practically all of my life and also attended University with two years of Music Industry Studies with a concentration in business. I have toured and competed in contests as a student vocalist. But true love and passion is in the rawness of it all. Just to sit in a room by myself for hours and hours of singing ugly or pretty; it’s like going to see a therapist for me. None of the fancy things, just me and the music. I linked a video of me, if you like please don’t hesitate to message me back.Thank you for considering!youtube.com/watch?v=246-5sIAQ4Y 0 Reply April 13, 2015
Cj PainterMy name is Cj. I am 24 years old. I live in a small town in WV. I have sang my entire life. I started singing in church at young age, then moved on to middle and high school choir. Music is a passion of mine. I am also a dedicated fan of shows like Glee. I have always dreamed of making my dreams come true one day. I wasn’t able to keep singing with my church because they had an issue when I came out as gay. Ever since I have struggled to fit in or find a home for mymusic.

Erica BartellI’m 14, I’ve been singing for my whole life. I sang with a professionally led choir from 2008-2010, took voice lessons from 3 different teachers, 1: 2009-2011 2: 2011-2014 3: 2014-present. I’ve always been in my school choirs. I’m currently in the advanced women’s chorus composed of 8th grade girls at my school. I have been complimented by my schoolmates, teachers, and parents on my voice. Most people describe my voice to be very strong and talented. I’m a Mezzo Soprano with a very wide vocal range. In my school choir I was originally sang with the soprano 2s but was moved to the altos to help them better project their voices. I hope to someday become a singer since it has made me who I am today, which makes me feel special and unique. Love, Erica 0 Reply February 20, 2015
SabrinaHi, my name is Sabrina Gomez, I’m a freshman at Loyola Chicago at turning 19 in about a week. I have been singing in choirs for over six years and have taken private lessons for over three. I love to sing. Its an amazing way to express yourself and I love sharing my passion of music with others. Being in a choir is such a great experience. I’ve made great friends and formed tight bonds. While it can be stressful or frustrating I think the singing as one whole and meeting new people far outweighs the negatives. I really hope to have the chance to audition for you. It would be an amazing opportunity and I would love to share my voice with you. I hope to hear from you.~Sabrina 0 Reply February 7, 2015

I preformed at Orchestra Hall in a honor choir. Also preforming in a Heritage Choir Festival in San Fransico.

Jone BosworthLinda Ronstadt knows a thing or two about singing. In her book, Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir, she writes: “Perhaps more than birds do, humans hold a grudge. They sing to complain of how grievously they have been wronged, and how to avoid it in the future. They sing to help themselves execute a job of work. They sing so the subsequent generations won’t forget what the current generation endured, or dreamed, or delighted in.”I’m holding a grudge. Singing in public since age 3, I stopped. I’d love to say the grudge is against my dastardly high school vocal instructor who silenced my voice. She can’t take all the credit.Truth is, the grudge is against me. While I sang with a blues band in Tokyo, I stopped singing because it seemed irresponsible here in the U.S. to continue, here where “creating art” is viewed as impractical, as something that requires isolation, and perhaps a little bit of craziness as few people make a living as singers, as artists, writers or creators of something other than money or products that more assuredly lead to money. I went to law school and “cast off childish things.”This week I published an article about workplace singing, inspired by BBC’s The Choir and Gareth Malone This got me thinking about the USA Network’s The Choir and what an amazing experience it would be to join with other voices and potentially make a positive impact on millions in the U.S. and beyond.So, like they say in The Full Monty, I may not be young, I may not be pretty, and at this point, I may not be right good, but I’m ready to give Gareth and the USA Network my all, to ‘get naked’ with other choir members and sing! 0 Reply September 16, 2014
Bryan McNairThe essence of entertainment lives within me. Standing at 5.5 and a half feet of heart and passion, I should be featured in this production because I am capable of bringing screens to life. The name “Bryan McNair” is one that brings with it a desire to entertain, a desire to learn and grow in the world of theater and film, and the desire to give life to any role that might be put in front of me. Aside from being a very animated personality, I also sing and capture the attention of crowds fairly easily. I love improvisation, and there is no greater feeling than to be naturally funny and to successfully garner the attention of complete strangers. I live to be under the light of entertainment. With a huge imagination, there is no angle that I cannot play and master with personal spark and infinite charisma. If selected, my positive energy will fill any missing piece of a production’s puzzle. 0 Reply September 12, 2014

Elle ChristensenHello, My name is Elle Christensen. I am an 11-year-old aspiring singer who finds music is the way to anyone’s heart. At the age of 3 I went to my mom and dad and told them I wanted to sing. They both looked at me with a blank stare, not knowing what to say since neither daddy or mommy can sing. Mommy agreed to take me to a voice studio when I turned 4 and the rest is history. I met my hero, and my current voice coach, “Miss Wendy,” when I was just 4. From age 4 to age 7 I would sit on Miss Wendy’s lap and learn each song both word and pitch by hearing it. I can learn a song in just a few times! By age 7, I was ready to dive into music, as I knew then it is my true passion, and a dream of mine to one day be in-front of millions of people! I have been taking private voice lessons since age 7 and have had many performance opportunities to share my talent and love for music. I hope I can continue to share this talent of mine with my family, friends, community and strangers. I dream of touching others lives through song, and making the world smile! 0 Reply January 31, 2014
