As an actor, a musician, a writer, a producer, a director, an editor, a cameraman, a designer, a make up or costume designer, a production manager, a programme maker or an administrator or a manager, you now have to think outside the box and be flexible and open to opportunities. It now requires more than just the professional skills and qualifications you've acquired, and even those need updating regularly as technology progresses...

Ugh. This is going to be a tough one to watch.

Jaycee Dugard, the brave young woman who was kidnapped at age 11 and held against her will for 18 years, has finally agreed to sit down for her first televised interview since she escaped her captors.

The interview is expected to air sometime in July, supposedly to coincide with the release of her memoir, and as ABC was the network to secure the interview, Diane Sawyer will be conducting it.

This poor girl has such a horrific life story to share. We can't even bear to think about what she's gone through in her lifetime. Hopefully, sharing her story will help her find some peace.

Earlier this week we saw photos of Brad Pitt and his eldest sons Maddox Chivan and Pax Thien at the NYC premiere of his new film Megamind. Well, as soon as that premiere was over, Brad and the boys hopped on a plane and flew their bums back to Budapest, Hungary so that they could reunite with the rest of the family. Here are a few fun photos of Brad and Angelina Jolie with their children Pax, Zahara Marley and Shiloh Nouvel at a very fun-looking park in Budapest earlier today:

Um … this looks like the COOLEST PARK EVER! None of the parks that I played in as a kid or have seen as an adult anywhere I’ve been looks as amazing as this park. In the US, parks are no longer allowed to have really tall slides or any equipment that can cause injury … primarily for legal reasons. I really love that this park in Budapest has zip-lining! Amazing. I bet the Brangelina bunch had a great time … as is plainly evident on Shiloh‘s really happy and adorable face :D

When Do Kids Start Learning to Play the Guitar?

Many people who take up wanting to learn to play guitar often start their lessons wondering how long it will take them to become reasonably good at it.

This is the same no matter what instrument or any other type of skill you want to learn to master.

Here Are 4 Reasons Why Sonic Producer Is Better Than Other Beat Makers

Turntables were a part of the past but are now a part of the future. If you are as old as I am (I attended college back in the late 80s), you certainly remember record players. I remember purchasing my first stereo system at Montgomery Ward in 1988. It came complete with a cassette deck, AM/FM radio and record player. I used to love going to the music store and purchasing vinyl albums all the time. Among my favorites were Duran Duran, Huey Lewis and the News and Van Halen.

My time in the wilds of Rhode Island has come to an end and David and I are now in NYC. We’ll be here in the Big Apple until the end of the week and we’ve got a pretty full schedule on our plates. But, before we let the hecticness of the city overtake us, we settled in and enjoyed the really breezy and cool weather here last night.

Because I grew up in the Detroit Metro area, I never spent much time on trains. In fact, I think the first actual train I ever rode was after I met David and I visited his family in New England for the first time. Trains are very prevalent all along the East Coast border so that’s how David likes to travel to/from NYC back home to Connecticut:

This is the cute little train station in Rhode Island that we took out of town … but soon enough, we were in NYC:

First, we got some pizza … then we met up with our friend Isaac for a quick drink thing at Industry. It really was a quick hello then back to our place for much-needed sleep. Tonight, David and I are seeing the amazing show Sleep No More and we are both very excited. Not sure what the plan is for after but … it’s NYC … I’m sure we’ll find something :)

The Dog Days of Spring in Nova Scotia

No other artists have been so closely identified with each other as Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh. Their often volatile relationship has been dramatized in both books and Hollywood movies, marked by Vincent's cutting off his ear, an incident that seems to be universally know, whatever your background in art. However, they always remained friends, until Van Gogh's death by suicide, bonded by their love of art and Vincent's memorable sunflowers that haunted Gauguin for the rest of his life.

5 Delay Effect Tips

As an alternative to attempting to make just about everything in the mix in the identical acoustic setting, why not use a variety of really diverse reverbs to provide some unusual depth to your mix? A really dry, upfront vocal will work nicely alongside quite a 'drowned' string section or even a small bright room environment on the drums.

Are Cheap Guitars Worth It?

Audio Compressors do more than just change the dynamic range of a song or track. Audio compressors do allot more than you think they do and I'll explain what some of these things are. When using a compressor during tracking (hardware compressor if your recording into a program like pro tools or sonar) it will allow the engineer to record the track at a higher level than normal.

Things You Need In Order To Learn To Play The Acoustic Guitar

It doesn't happen often, but recently I had a revelation. Before I reveal it, let me tell you that normally, I'd be the last guy to talk about drum loops. Always preferring the "real deal," I've never owned a drum machine or electronic drums. I never triggered my kit, and have never really been a "gear head." Granted, these traits may have been a professional deficit at times, but honestly, all I've ever wanted to do was play the drums.

Portable Karaoke Machines For Kids

In this article we're going to talk about David Bowie's Wife, A beautiful dark woman with Somali and American blood running on her veins, Iman (which means faith in Arabic) got married with a Somali man at the tender age of 18. Nonetheless, because the marriage was rather based on young and immature love, it soon fell apart which prompted Iman to cross to the United States where she eventually found herself pursuing a modeling career. With the glitz and glamor of the modeling world, Iman soon swept one more guy off his feet, American basketball player Spencer Haywood, whom she eventually married in 1977. The year after that, Iman gave birth to Zulekha, her lovechild with Spencer.

How To Record An Acoustic Guitar for an Ensemble

These days if bands and musicians don't use multi-track recording techniques to record their music, they'd be pegged as unusual. It's completely normal for today's musicians to use 8, 16, 24, 48, and even more tracks to build layer upon layer of music that makes up their recordings. This can make the recording process quite complicated and results in a distinct type of recording feel. The early rockabilly pioneers didn't record like that.

A Brief History of Electronic Drums

Lugging around a full-body guitar can be awkward and difficult. It takes up a lot of space in a car, and is too big to travel in an airplane overhead compartment. Checking a guitar at the counter so it can take its chances in the luggage compartment is not only risky, but can be a stressful experience. The Washburn travel guitar can cure you of all of these inconveniences.
