[Perform-Talk] Introduction

[Leslie Hamric]

Hi Melissa. Welcome to the performing arts listserv. It's great to have you here and I have enjoyed all the times that I have heard you sing. I learned how to play the auto harp when I was in middle school which later came in handy because I had to use it for an instrument when I was completing my music therapy coursework. I know there are quite a few of us on this list, and in the division who do voiceover work, podcasts, audio, recording, etc.
