Congratulations Ethan Roark! You successfully completed this semester’s Live Production internship. Originally we had a local punk band scheduled to give Ethan the opportunity to show off this stage management, live sound reinforcement and stage production skills; however, the band cancelled and we had to pivot slightly. Ethan set up a very basic, small club live sound set up, micing my orange 35 Watt amplifier and it turned out great. Kudos to Ethan being flexible and doing such a great job in his final exam.

Professor Kresse, lecturer of media and sound, spent time on assignment in Asheville NC the last two days, fostering new, professional industry relationships and creating invaluable, experiential learning experiences for our students. He had the rare opportunity to meet with the production manager of the Orange Peel music venue, talking about A/V technology and live production. He appreciated the venue’s openness to host students in the future for production experiences, internships and potential experiences as part of a newly, proposed live production course. The vision is clear!

Cristina Milizia inspired our students at Lander University today with her incredible Voiceover journey. They were captivated by her story and the struggles she overcame to pursue her goals as a highly sought after voiceover talent in Animation, Videogames, and Film.

Many students today often think that success is achieved overnight, or are only meant for a certain few...but Cristina shattered that myth by proving that hardwork, determination, and staying focused on your goals can help you achieve your dreams even against great adversity.

I am incredibly grateful to her for making time to share her experiences with our students. I could tell from their expressions that they made discoveries about the voiceover business they were not aware of before. I am sure they will be viewing their favorite animation and videogames quite differently now knowing the kind of work that goes into capturing and creating the characters they've enjoyed watching.

Proud of our Students for competing and participating at the SCSTA: South Carolina Speech and Theatre Association College Festival hosted by Newberry College this Saturday. Students competed in performance, speech, and media events.

This was the first time this group had participated at SCSTA or at any competition like this one. This was also the shortest amount of prep time we ever had since they moved the fesitval so close to the start of the semester.

In spite of these challenges, three of our students placed 2nd in their event which were Storytelling and Duet Improv. In addition to competing, three of the students also had the honor of being Adjudicators for the SCSTA Middle School Division that was competing that same day at Newberry College. Proving again, that our students have the ability to transfer their academics into experiential learning.

I am proud of our students and look forward to working with them on future opportunities.
