Ben Toth, Vocal Coach to the Stars
Vocal coach Ben Toth is also a player The performer-composer helps prepare Beau Bridges for his Broadway singing debut while his own career flourishes. December 26, 2011 | By Diane Haithman, Special to the Los Angeles Times As the old joke goes: "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice, practice." That punch line would have to be rewritten for vocal coach, performer and composer Ben Toth. Toth, 34, got to Carnegie Hall — and the Hollywood Bowl and Broadway — by helping other people practice, practice and practice some more. During a late November interview at a Los Feliz cafe, Toth — whose clients include Lea Michele, Taye Diggs, Josh Radnor, Wayne Brady, Christina Hendricks and Mandy Patinkin — was on a high from serving as musical director, arranger and backup singer for "Cheyenne Jackson's Cocktail Hour: Music From the 'Mad Men' Era" at Carnegie Hall" on Nov. 18. But there wasn't much time to relax and enjoy: Toth was also coaching Beau Bridges for his Broadway singing debut in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Bridges is stepping in for John Larroquette as corporate tycoon J.B. Biggley in January, and Toth had been working with him for about six weeks, including bicoastal Skype sessions when Toth's career took him to New York. Bridges, whose latest film, "The Descendants," is getting Oscar buzz, joins the cast Jan. 3, at the same time that Darren Criss replaces Daniel Radcliffe. Toth met the actor in 2009 on a production of "Guys and Dolls" at the Hollywood Bowl. Bridges' success in "Guys and Dolls" led to his being cast in "How to Succeed in Business." Bridges, 70, has acted on Broadway before ("Where's Daddy?," "Who's Who in Hell"), but this will be his first time singing on the Great White Way, and he wasn't going to do it without Toth.

THE RESISTANCE - EPISODE 36 Josh Radnor - Interview Transcript
THE RESISTANCE - EPISODE 36 Josh Radnor - Interview Transcript Matt: Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Resistance. My name is Matt Conner, and I’m your host. Today I’m thrilled to sit down with actor, director, writer, songwriter, Josh Radnor. Why don’t you introduce yourself and how you normally, how do you say what you do? Josh: Oh I just say actor, writer, director, songwriter, no I don’t. You know what, you’ve hit on something that I have difficulty with, which is saying what I do. The easiest thing for me to say I do is that I’m an actor, in that I went to grad school for acting at NYU, I’ve been a professional actor for over 20 years. Most people know me as an actor. But I’ve also written and directed two films, I’ve directed music videos, I’ve written plays and prose and now I’m a songwriter and I put out albums of original music. So I guess, and I try to avoid any sort of pretentious-sounding labels, but I think I’m a storyteller, and I just tell stories in whatever form suits the story I want to tell. Sometimes it’s a 90-minute movie, and sometimes it’s a three-minute song. Matt: I love it. I love it. All within the arts in many ways. I want to get to so many things; however, we begin each of our episodes with this quote from Steven Pressfield’s book, The War of Art.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MOTOR CITY COMIC CON ANNOUNCES YOGA CLASS, “YOGIS OF ANARCHY” An introduction to Kundalini Yoga with Charlie Hunnam and Ryan Hurst Sunday, May 19th from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM Happiness is your birthright NOVI, MI. (March 13, 2019) – Motor City Comic Con, Michigan’s longest and largest comic pop- culture event, is pleased to announce “Sons of Anarchy” stars Charlie Hunnam and Ryan Hurst will teach an introduction to Kundalini Yoga class on Sunday, May 19th at 8:30 AM. Tickets for “Yogis of Anarchy” are on sale now on the Motor City Comic Con website and cost $75.00. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own yoga mat and to wear loose fitting clothes as well as a head cover or a hat. All attendees will have to provide proof of admission upon entering the yoga class. To purchase tickets, go to www.motorcitycomiccon.com/tickets. Kundalini Yoga, was brought to the West in 1969 by Yogi Bhajan, is an uplifting blend of spiritual and physical practices and incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras. The goal of this type of yoga is to build physical vitality and increase consciousness. The power of this yoga comes from the Kundalini (Sanskrit for “coiled serpent”), an enormous reserve of untapped potential within each of us, located around the sacrum or “sacred bone” at the base of the spine. By using proven techniques to gradually awaken this benign serpent and safely deploy its amazing beneficial powers, your life will be transformed into one of health, happiness and harmony.

12Th & Delaware
12th & Delaware DIRECTORS: Rachel Grady, Heidi Ewing U.S.A., 2009, 90 min., color On an unassuming corner in Fort Pierce, Florida, it’s easy to miss the insidious war that’s raging. But on each side of 12th and Delaware, soldiers stand locked in a passionate battle. On one side of the street sits an abortion clinic. On the other, a pro-life outfit often mistaken for the clinic it seeks to shut down. Using skillful cinema-vérité observation that allows us to draw our own conclusions, Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing, the directors of Jesus Camp, expose the molten core of America’s most intractable conflict. As the pro-life volunteers paint a terrifying portrait of abortion to their clients, across the street, the staff members at the clinic fear for their doctors’ lives and fiercely protect the right of their clients to choose. Shot in the year when abortion provider Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his church, the film makes these FromFrom human rights to popular fears palpable.

Last week they premiered The Fortress Of Solitude, the best new musical of the year. And now they're debuting Father Comes Home From The Wars, Parts 1, 2 & 3, which ranks with An Octoroon as the best new play of the year. It is bold, hugely entertaining, moving and thrillingly ambitious. Playwright Suzan-Lori Parks bids fair to create a sprawling multi-part epic to plant alongside August Wilson's monumental Century Cycle, one of the great achievements in theater history. Parts 4 through 9 (? or more?) can't come fast enough for me. Some of these sections and others have been workshopped before and seen by friends and the entire work here is presented by the Public and the American Repertory Theater. But this is my first experience seeing any portion. Tipping its hat to The Odyssey, what we have here are three parts set during and after the Civil War. In Part 1: A Measure Of A Man, the slave Hero (Sterling K. Brown) is debating whether to follow his master into battle.
