Our community speaks out about how they are pushing their singing careers ahead…
This month we asked what you had done in the past year to increase your earnings from singing. The answers we received ranged from using the internet to get more work to giving others work:
Branching out to America to make online vocal coaching videos! I'm there working towards it right now!
I have started Vocal Coaching in the past year. It's been such a rewarding job plus earns money whilst having fun helping others.
I have started promoting other quality entertainers to fill what I can't and help start their own careers.
Top VoiceCouncil Articles on Moving Your Singing Career Forward:
- How to Become a Pro Singer – 7 Tips
- American 'Idle' – The Real Secret of Singing Success
- Make a Living From Your Music – Top Tips
Remember: You Are Not Alone
Helping each other out is a great way of making the performing arts and music industries more friendly and supportive.
Of course we all know that networking is the name of the game, so a little camaraderie will boost anyone's career! Kathy Alexander agrees that it's all about who you know, but it can be scary at times:
I just moved to the town I'm in three weeks ago, so I need to make contacts with local musicians before I can do anything. I may sign up for a series of jam sessions. That kind of thing always makes me nervous, but it will help me meet people!
We all feel the fear, but we must remember that we are sociable animals and everybody would like more friends – think about what you can bring to the table too.
Skill swaps are a great way to connect. As well as having a bank full of money, it is just as important to have a bank full of favours and good deeds that we can cash in!
In addition to working hard to create music and promote ourselves, it is also important to rest our tired larynxes and re-set our hectic minds:
I take a planned day off at the end of each month to celebrate and fuel my artistic tank. It's amazing what a purposeful 24 hour break can do.

Kawakawa creations
13 November 2016, Justine Tyerman, The Gisborne Herald
Esther Woon talks to Justine Tyerman about the phenomenal success of the products she makes at home from kawakawa leaves.
Esther Woon is having trouble sleeping at night — not because her eight-week-old baby wakes her up but because her head is spinning with visions of kawakawa leaves.
Wanted a natural approach to health
It all began about a year ago when she was at the end of her tether. Her five-year-old son Riley was in constant pain from an abscess on his ear that was not responding to repeated courses of antibiotics.
"My fiancé Hori Katipa and I wanted to find a more natural approach to help Riley's immune system fight the abscess, which would regularly become inflamed and grow to the size of a marble," says Esther.
Hori, drawing on his extensive knowledge of the bush and plants as a biodiversity ranger with Nga Whenua Rahui, suggested they try kawakawa leaves as a way to fight the infection.
"I was fed-up with antibiotics and their side-effects on Riley so was ready to try anything," she says. "We warmed up a kawakawa leaf and applied it to the abscess with a bandage to keep it in place. We also put kawakawa leaves in the bath with him. We were amazed at the results. Within a week, we noticed the inflammation and swelling had subsided," says Esther.
Whanau claim miracle cure for all sorts
Rather than sending Riley to school with a leaf bandaged to his ear, Esther began exploring ways to process the kawakawa leaves into a form that could be rubbed on to the skin.
"I've always loved making things, so I came up with a kawakawa balm in an olive oil and beeswax base. We used the balm on Riley and also gave it to family members to try, and we were amazed at the results. The whanau were claiming it as a miracle cure for eczema, nappy rash, dribble rash, skin infections, dermatitis, boils, bruises and even chicken pox.
"Hori's family were keen for me to develop the product further but I sat on the idea for a while. I was pregnant with Peneti by that stage and wanted something to do. My father-in-law, who has a good business eye, suggested I make and package a few kawakawa balms to test the market.
"So I made three types of balm and put them on Facebook thinking that no one would want to buy them. When I checked the next morning, I had 80 replies."
That was back in June. Esther has since diversified into 10 or so different products and is now experimenting with sunscreens and insect repellents.
Trial and error involved in family affair
There's lots of trial and error involved.
"The lip balm is very difficult to make and package into tubes. I use kawakawa-infused olive oil with beeswax to make it set. Too much beeswax and it's too hard, not enough and it's too runny."
Esther and family pick the kawakawa leaves from Hori's whanau land at Te Araroa but she is also looking for a supply closer to Gisborne.
"It's very much a family affair — even Riley has a job. He's in charge of labelling."
The demand has gone through the roof, with products now being sent to Australia and even Bali. The phenomenal pace of success over the past year has been a bit scary, and with Christmas coming up it's only going to get busier, she says.
With a baby and a six-year-old to care for, Esther does not have much time to devote to her burgeoning enterprise — but she has a strong entrepreneurial streak and is full of ideas.
"I'm often up late at night making mixtures in the kitchen and marketing my products. Then I can't sleep because my head is spinning with all the things I could be doing if I had the time, space, funding and a good business mentor."
Originally from Auckland, Esther studied business at EIT and then worked at EIT in marketing, adult community education and secondary territory alignment resources before becoming pregnant with Peneti.
She applied for an AMP scholarship and, while unsuccessful, she was placed in the top five for Gisborne. Esther is receiving support from Activate Tairawhiti and is looking for a business mentor and bigger premises to make her products.

Follow your nose, to the delicious International buffet at Gobo Chit Chat, at Traders Hotel KL..
We look around and the place is packed to the rafters. Not only that, the buffet counters are somewhat heaving under the weight of the variety of food.
I looked around and did a mental calculation of the dishes per station… with some (rather quick) arithmetic, I arrived at over 120 dishes on display.
And guess what.. I was right! It really was more than 120 dishes. Impossible to try everything, but we were certainly up to the challenge, of trying to make a dent in that number, at least.
And fans of Trader's F&B outlets will be happy to know that Gobo Chit Chat is offering a special 'International Buffet with Local Favorites' dinner spread of traditional Malay cuisine from 1 July to 31 August 2013. Priced at RM98++, the buffet dinner is a real steal, and it is held daily, from between 6.30 to 10.30 pm.
So where does one start? Well, I always like to start with the appetizers of fresh garden herbs – a variety of tempting salads including the not-to-ne missed salad from the heart of the banana shoot to jambu air. Yes, with such a rich and massive spread, it is always good to line one's stomach with vegetation first, if you ask me.
And you will notice that the traditional Malay dishes are plentiful, inspired by cuisine from all over the country, including Satay, Rendangs, grilled Ayam Percik, traditional Oxtail Soup, Laksa and the traditional home-made Kiuh Muih. For those who like the more international dishes there is an amazing selection of fresh Oysters, Crabs, Scallops, Sushi, Sashimi, a Carving station as well as Roast Lamb and beef to choose from.
Other great treats that you must not miss include the Asian Appetizers such as the Kerabu Ayam and Tauhu Sumbat. I do love a good Lemang Pulut & Ketupat Serunding Ayam and the one at Gobo Chit Chat is heavenly. For veggie lovers don't miss the Ulam Pucuk paku, Daun Selom, Pucuk Pegaga and Kacang panjang, to be eaten with some super spicy chili concoctions i.e. the sambal belacan and the tempoyak.
long grain biryani rice.. heavenly aroma permeate from this pot!
The Main dishes I particularly liked were the Nasi Beriyani, Ayam Rendang and the Pucuk Ubi Masak Lemak. For meat lovers don't miss the Roasted Lamb served with turmeric rice, and finally if you're looking for some healthy Japanese, check out the sushi and sashimi counters. For those who love their noodles, there's an interesting dish of colored somen to try, as well as the hearty curry laksa.
live station- select your meat and seafood to be cooked
Fish panggang
noodles station
this somen dish was delicious and cooked the perfect al dente too!
curry laksa
sushi and sashimi
seafood selection that we polished off in no time
grilled scallops… yummie!
for durian lovers.. do not miss these two durian desserts – the pancake was stuffed with fresh durian flesh – totally awesome!
Malay kuih muih
I also found the light display at Gobo Chit Chat completely fascinating. Diners were actually treated to a kaleidoscope performance of colour animation, that was projected on to the ceiling, and accompanied by new-age music.
It's all very chic and stylish and the expansive height of the curved hanging ceiling adds a distinct feeling of space. There are private booths, that sit 4 comfortably on the perimeter of the dining area, and the center was converted into long table style dining. Gobo Chit Chat is well ventilated and you will not leave smelling of roast lamb, which is a plus!

The driver of a pickup truck that struck a motorcycle, killing the couple, says he did not see the bike until it was too late. It is not yet clear how this could be, given that this motorcycle accident happened before 8 p.m. on a North Carolina highway not far from Burlington. However it happened, this deadly incident is a solemn reminder of what can happen when car and truck drivers fail to look out for motorcycles.
Truck hits motorcycle from behind on N.C. highway, killing 2
Brain's mistake in visual perception may cause motorcycle crashes
One reason that motorcycle accidents happen is drivers fail to look at their blind spots, or they simply fail to watch out for (and respect) motorcyclists on the road. Motorcyclists and driver of other vehicles may have a somewhat rocky relationship out on the road -- but that shouldn't prevent drivers in closed, protected cars from dismissing the presence of a motorcyclist. People on motorcycles are inherently more prone to injuries in an accident.
Organization helps riders injured in motorcycle accidents
A North Carolina organization that helps people who have been injured in a motorcycle accident helped a man in another state get back on his bike. The man suffered serious brain and collarbone injuries, and was hesitant to ride his motorcycle again until he joined the group, called the Bikers for Bikers Foundation.
Cars making sudden left turns a hazard to North Carolina bikers
Motorcycle riders in Wilmington know that no matter how much care they take to protect themselves on the road, negligent drivers pose a threat all the time. There are many ways that a car or truck can cause a motorcycle accident but one of the easiest ways a driver can do so is to make an unsafe left turn. Failing to signal the turn or turning too close to an approaching motorcycle often leads to a collision, and for bikers any accident can be very serious.

Parking Our Excess Construction
The housing bubble has left the U.S. with an excess supply of over 2 million homes; 19 million are vacant. With fewer households being formed due to the recession, demand for housing has dropped at the same time.
This imbalance of supply and demand has resulted in plunging home prices, destroying many homeowners' savings or pushing them out of their homes. Owning your own home – the prime solid, stable asset of the middle class for decades – became a volatile, speculative "investment" that ruined many families' lives.
Incentives in the housing market created overproduction, which still persists to some degree. Now the country needs incentives to correct housing overproduction.
Similarly, the U.S. built an excess supply of retail space – over 6 times that of any European country per capita. Now demand is down, due to reduced consumer spending (given the recession, the end of loose credit, and increased consumer saving) and competition from Internet commerce, so the equivalent of 25,000 big box stores is empty.
Retail oversupply combined with dropping demand is driving a downward spiral of property values that mirrors that of residential property. Businesses declare bankruptcy, and an excess of vacant space drives further declines.
We've addressed these kinds of problems before, not with residential or retail property, but with farmland.
The end of World War I brought strong exports and good times for farmers, but in the 1920's overproduction and falling exports sent farmers and farm-dependent businesses and communities into a depression. Voluntary production limits failed to keep crop prices above the cost of production, and many farmers and suppliers failed. In the 1930's, we began programs to moderate the agricultural market, so that farmers would not be driven out of business by volatile swings in the prices of crops. Prices were stabilized by payments to farmers who agreed to take excess farmland out of service.
In our present case, we have had an excess of construction. Leaving excess homes and stores standing prolongs the problem for neighboring properties while prices remain depressed. Today we need to take excess residential and retail property out of service.
We can turn the excess construction into parks. The values of neighboring properties would stabilize, both from reduced oversupply and from proximity to a new amenity. This conversion can be accomplished quickly – even the prospect of a new park would have an immediate positive effect – and at low cost.
Depending on local conditions as they evolved, some parks might be temporary and others might be permanent. But park conversion would be a quick, targeted stimulus to the regional property market.
One may object that farm programs have morphed and grown beyond their original purpose, under decades of lobbying from various interests. But we can learn from that experience. We can limit the size and duration of stabilizing actions, with a defined path to sunsetting as conditions stabilize. And those who most directly benefit from the program should not design its terms; for example, properties could be chosen through a reverse auction.
We have learned that we can benefit by moderating artificially generated speculative swings in agricultural markets. Today we are suffering the aftermath of a volatile swing in the property market. Park conversion would quickly and effectively address oversupply – the root cause.

Swiss franc soars as Switzerland abandons euro cap
The Swiss franc soared as much as 30% in chaotic trade after the central bank abandoned the cap on the currency's value against the euro.
The Swiss National Bank (SNB) said the cap, introduced in September 2011, was no longer justified.
It also cut a key interest rate from -0.25% to -0.75%, raising the amount investors pay to hold Swiss deposits.
The International Monetary Fund's head, Christine Lagarde, called the move "a bit of a surprise".
She said she was also surprised that the governor of the Swiss National Bank had not contacted her, and said she hoped he had communicated the plan to his fellow central bank governors.

Spirit of Rabbie warms Scots' hearts
For millions of Scots - even those who live far from home - Sunday will bring ghost stories, poems, songs ... and whisky.
There is no more traditional Scottish institution than Burns night - a great excuse, if Scots needed one - to gather, drink prodigiously and celebrate. But it is also the day when they remember the man hailed as their national poet.
Robert Burns, who was born at Alloway, Ayrshire, on January 25, 1759, is perhaps an unlikely hero. He fathered several illegitimate children, his businesses failed and he was scorned as a reprobate.
Most humiliatingly, Rabbie, as he is usually known, was even forced to recant his radical political views, before dying aged just 37. His poetry, though, remains hugely popular in Scotland and internationally.
Social pretensions
Professor David Daiches, of Edinburgh University, believes Burns, who produced a prolific amount of verse and song, is still seen as a radical, humane figure.
"He was an egalitarian, that is to say he passionately believed that people should be treated for what they are - not for their wealth, social status or rank.
"This idea was strongly implanted in him from his earliest days, when he watched, as the son of an impoverished tenant farmer, the landed gentry go round with their social pretensions - he watched them with resentment," says Professor Daiches.
'Ploughman poet'
Modern-day Scottish poet, Liz Lochead, also regards Rabbie as a glamorous figure and national emblem.
"He was the ploughman poet but also a wonderful wit and intellect - he told great stories in his poetry," she said.
"He also did the most for the Scottish song - he collected folk songs and improved upon them and rewrote them. There is a vast body of folk poetry and song with a Burns collection.
"So it means a lot to Scots everywhere and, of course, the dialect in Burns is very peculiar to him and to Scotland. There's nothing like language to cohere a bit of national fervour."
'Sacrificial moment'
While it is true that the Address to the Haggis - a standard ingredient of all Burns' suppers - is for many Scots just another excuse for a party. But Liz Lochead says the institution, in which diners toast the traditional meat pudding, has a deeper meaning for most people.
"No party takes place without hearing Burns's mock heroic addressed to the haggis before it's cut open in a sort of sacrifical moment."
Ms Lochead adds: "There are not many parties where a few of his most beautiful love songs aren't sung. And there are not many where someone doesn't do a loud Tam O' Shanter and have everybody shivering with one of the greatest ghost stories ever written."
Humour and humanity
Of course, while Scotland remains part of the United Kingdom, some treat Burns night as a moment to celebrate the country's distinctive sense of national identity.
But Burns himself cannot be represented by simple nationalism. He remains a figure of humour and humanity - one with whom Scots and others like to identify, a spirit summed up in poems like A Man's a Man for A' [All] That:
Then let us pray that come it may,

"Unlock the potential of biodiversity data"
I am an advocate for the free and open exchange of scientific data. I take this position not only because (through public financial support) vast quantities of data rightly belong in the public domain, but because scientific power depends on independent verifiability. Evolving technologies, data standards, and norms of scientific practice are encouraging open access publishing practices and the aggregation of primary data formatted according to community standards. These trends have exciting potential benefits for science and society.
I hold positions as senior researcher at the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, research associate at the California Academy of Sciences, and member of Plazi, a Swiss organization developing persistent and openly accessible digital taxonomic literature. I am a subject editor for ZooKeys (spiders), and a senior editor of Biodiversity Data Journal.

Research interest
I use a combination of morphology and DNA sequence data to investigate patterns of biodiversity in spider communities. My work in spider taxonomy follows an open access cybertaxonomic model. In addition to traditional publications, elements of my taxonomic work are distributed online to an assortment of databases and resources. With primary data aggregated according to community standards, it becomes possible to reuse and recombine data without restrictions. I use an XML markup approach to visualize and aggregate primary data from legacy taxonomic publications, suggesting new possibilities for legacy biodiversity data.
Current research topics
- Cyberdiversity inventory of a small Caribbean island
- Copyright and images as biodiversity data
- Cyberdiversity and the spiders of Vietnam
- From taxonomic literature to cybertaxonomic content
- Cybertaxonomic publishing model
- DNA barcoding
- Phylogeny of spiders
- Repeated evolution of male sacrifice behavior
Cyberdiversity inventory of a small Caribbean island
In October 2015, a team of researchers and students conducted a rapid inventory of the biodiversity of Sint Eustatius, a small island in the Lesser Antilles. Eleven quarter hectare plots (50x50m) were established, each randomly placed within a different major vegetation zone. A sampling protocol was established targeting vascular and non-vascular plants, vertebrates, gastropods, butterflies, and selected megadiverse arthropod taxa. The aim of the study is to investigate which taxonomic groups can stand as surrogates for others in conservation assessment. Ultimately, we will determine whether monitoring a subset of taxa can be used as a proxy for the island's biodiversity as a whole. We are also investigating a range of environmental variables to determine which may be correlated with the biodiversity of the taxonomic groups investigated.
For megadiverse groups, not all species will be determined using formal scientific names. Nevertheless, all will be assigned persistent identifiers linked to image libraries and DNA sequences as prescribed by the Cyberdiversity approach (Miller et al. 2014). Cyberdiversity means assigning each species in an inventory a unique identifier, regardless of whether the species has been identified as having a formal taxonomic name. That identifier can then be used to facilitate the accumulation of knowledge in much the same way that a formal taxonomic name is, except that it can be done without the formalities of taxonomic nomenclature. Often, inventories of megadiverse taxa produce a number common and well-known species that can be identified by a competent taxonomist with little difficulty, a few clearly new species, and many species of ambiguous taxonomy that may or may not match described species. For this project, all species from four megadiverse arthropod groups (spiders, beetles, ants, and true bugs) will be represented by libraries of photographs. We will also attempt to obtain DNA barcode sequences for most species.
Copyright and images as biodiversity data
Taxonomic literature contains a wealth of information in the form of anatomical images intended to accompany text descriptions. But ambiguity and confusion regarding the implications of copyright law for the reproduction and sharing of images in taxonomic literature have inhibited their digital mobility. A team of Plazi-affiliated collaborators, including copyright lawyer Willi Egloff, concluded that the standard view images common in taxonomic literature are different in important ways from the works of creative expression that are protected by international copyright law (Egloff et al. 2017). Copyright protects the creative expression of "artistic works". The meaning of "works" in a legal sense is key to understanding the relevant issues. While the definition of "work" varies from country to country, they all share some basic common features including the notion that they are an original form of expression. Images that follow predefined rules or conventions do not qualify, in much the same way that facts are not subject to copyright (Agosti and Egloff, 2009). For example, Mickey Mouse is an original expression created by Walt Disney, not documentation of facts about mouse anatomy following conventions intended to facilitate comparison with similar objects. It is also worth noting that the skill of the agent (e.g., illustrator or photographer), technical difficulty of the task, or the quality of the image are not relevant. Images taken by automatic means do not qualify as works of creative expression. Copyright is distinct from attribution, which is a convention in scholarship that we fully support.
Our legal interpretation implies that a vast untapped corpus of technical scientific images is available for sharing within the biodiversity informatics network. The Biodiversity Literature Repository has been established as an archive of digital taxonomic literature, including the minting of unique identifiers for images appearing in taxonomic literature (currently >100,000 images). We consider it a major contribution to science to make such images open access and citable to facilitate wider dissemination. Wide distribution and re-use of data (including images) is not only legal in our view, it serves the goals of scientists, science funders, and the general public.
Cyberdiversity and the spiders of Vietnam
My collaborators and I established one-hectare plots in three national parks in Vietnam. At each location, we conducted a structured inventory of spiders. Images and DNA barcodes from the inventory have been posted online (www.digitalSpiders.org). In what I call the cyberdiversity approach, data sharing can facilitate reconciliation of inventory results between independent studies where current taxonomic knowledge is incomplete, and contribute to an understanding of how diverse communities change over space and time (Miller et al. 2014).
From taxonomic literature to cybertaxonomic content
Biodiversity is one of the most information-rich fields of human knowledge, but advances in basic cybertaxonomic infrastructure have only recently provided the tools to organize biodiversity information in ways that respond to a wide range of user groups, including ecologists, land managers, and interested citizens, not to mention the benefits of readily accessible information to the global taxonomic community. The key to unlocking this potential is semantic tagging of both prospective and retrospective taxonomic literature (Miller et al. 2012). I am working with Plazi to develop fine-grained XML markup of legacy taxonomic literature, which allows primary data to be aggregated, linked, and visualized in novel and useful ways.
Cybertaxonomic publishing model
Taxonomic descriptions are based on primary specimen data, including the place and time where specimens were collected, images, and DNA sequences. When structured according to community standards (e.g., TDWG) and made available to online databases, these data can be aggregated, distributed, and built upon by others. Open access publishing improves the availability of taxonomic research products internationally within and beyond the immediate taxonomic community. Contributing primary data to online databases and biodiversity resources (e.g., Morphbank, Encyclopedia of Life, GBIF, Dryad, ZooBank) facilitates aggregation of data from multiple sources, contributing to an expanding picture of life on Earth.
My taxonomic contributions cover a range of spider lineages, including Eresidae (Miller et al. 2012: Dryad, KML for Google Earth, Nexus aligned sequence matrix), Penestomidae (Miller et al. 2010: GBIF, KML for Google Earth), Ctenidae (Miller and Rahmadi 2012: ZooBank), and the symphytognathoid families (Miller et al. 2014; Miller et al. 2009: GBIF, specimen data in Excel, KML for Google Earth).
DNA barcoding
I collaborate with the Naturalis Barcoding Facility on various projects. One of these investigated a museum collection as a source of material for DNA barcoding spiders. Several factors were considered, including time since collection, body size, phylogenetic distance, and extraction method. We found that body size and age of oldest successful DNA barcode are significantly correlated after factoring out phylogenetic effects using independent contrasts analysis. Nondestructive extractions significantly extended the DNA barcoding shelf life of museum specimens, especially small-bodied species. This study will help us to more efficiently use legacy collections for spider DNA barcoding projects and predict when fresh specimens will be required (Miller et al. 2013: Dryad).
Phylogeny of spiders
I have used molecular sequence data to investigate questions about the phylogenetic affinities of several groups of entelegyne spiders (Miller et al. 2010). Penestomus was first described from females only and placed in the family Eresidae. Discovery of the male decades later brought surprises, especially in the anatomy of the male palp which features (among other things) a retrolateral tibial apophysis (RTA). The presence of an RTA is synapomorphic for a large clade of spiders exclusive of Eresidae. A molecular data matrix based on four loci was constructed to test two alternative hypotheses: 1) Penestomus are eresids and the RTA is convergent, or 2) Penestomus belong within the RTA clade. Our analysis supported Penestomus as an RTA clade lineage not close to Eresidae. As a result, Penestomus was removed from Eresidae and promoted to family rank (Penestomidae). In addition, we transferred the subfamily Coelotinae from the Amaurobiidae to the Agelenidae. A taxonomic revision of Penestomus (Miller et al. 2010) with cybertaxonomic enhancements (including registration of new species in ZooBank, Encyclopedia of Life species pages, and specimen records explorable in Google Earth) complements this phylogenetic work.
Repeated evolution of male sacrifice behavior
While it is true that cannibalism during mating occurs with more or less frequency in many spider species, the notion that black widow spiders always eat their mates is a myth. However, males of the Australian widow spiderLatrodectus hasselti exhibit remarkable mating behavior: during copulation, males execute a somersault that places their abdomen near the mouth of the female, frequently resulting in the death of the male. This is an example of male sacrifice behavior. Male sacrifice behavior, defined as either complicity in cannibalism or spontaneous death associated with copulation, is not limited to widow spiders. An analysis using phylogeny-based statistics suggests that a series of evolutionary prerequisites are associated with the evolution of male sacrifice behavior in spiders, including extreme sexual size dimorphism, accumulation of multiple males in the female web (an indicator of a male-biased effective sex ratio), and mutilation of the male genitalia during mating (Miller 2007).
