About the Green Room

In theatre, the green room is where performers wait to go on stage - its energy consists of excitement, nervousness, anticipation, joy, fear, and any number of things to explain the 'green' - from nausea to envy. This green room is updated weekly and gives a behind-the-scenes look at the profession - the auditions, the castings, the rejections; the gigs that fail and the gigs that fly.

In Your Ear

Filed under: blather,Lipservice Talent Guild,Podcasts — Leigha @ 6:29 pm

A week or two ago fellow Walker Art Center colleague, Reggie Prim, and I walked through the OPEN-ENDED (the art of engagement) exhibition presently on display in the Walker’s Target Gallery. While we would like to say that our visit was to fully immerse ourselves in the artworks, it wouldn’t be an entirely honest representation of our intentions. We walked in, scanned the room for the Catherine Opie photographs of icehouses, bee-lined for the accompanying listening-station, grabbed the headphones, giddily pointed to the didactic on the wall that bears our names, and gave each other big goofy grins while listening to our recorded voices.

Reggie and I had both narrated ice-fishing stories written by Minnesotans that accompany the photographs – you can now hear the narrations at the gallery listening station through June 18th, online (scroll down to “Art on Call Stops for OPEN-ENDED,” then click “play” to hear me on tracks numbers 2 and 3), or via telephone (dial 612.374.8200, then enter 1026. To skip the quick interview with Catherine Opie and get directly to yours-truly, press 1 – not that I would recommend doing such a thing).

In Your Eye
In the very near future the main leighahorton.com site will no longer say “coming soon.” I’m so excited, I could shout. The web-monkey has come up with a killer design, and it will have a bunch of downloadable goodies including my headshot, resume, and voice-over demo. Sometime after that main roll-out, sections for production-photos and press will be added. Yes, yes, I could shout.

In Your Future
I’m still desperately wanting you to hear the Lipservice podcast wherein I’m interviewed by fellow actor Steve Hendrickson and share a clip from the Twelfth Night song recordings – it’s really sweet. Alas, the Lipservice website is undergoing a huge re-design and I’m not yet allowed to link to the podcast location. Grrrrrr. Soon, though.

In My Dreams
I got cast at the Guthrie! Details to follow.

In Reality
Kidding about that last one.

Celebrity Face Match

Filed under: blather,wait, what? — Leigha @ 6:16 pm

I can’t remember who alerted me to this crazy little gem, but I uploaded my headshot to myheritage.com and it did a scan based on facial features and structure. It then returned the following celebrity face match:

67%: Nicole Kidman
66%: Cate Blanchett, Aishwariya Rai, Hillary Rodham Clinton
65%: Gillian Anderson, Liv Tyler, Jennifer Lopez
64%:Anastasia Myskina, Angelina Jolie

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I find my likeness to Hillary Rodham Clinton and Aishwariya Rai equally laughable.

Go play. Then share.
