Convenient way to keep folks updated
Many of friends, colleagues, acquaintances, and general fans are always asking us when Lori is next performing. Because Loris repertoire is as diverse as our friends tastes opera, musical theater, oratorio it is always difficult to figure out who to notify of what. Even if one could figure out who best to invite, time constraints and other considerations often make it complicated to do.
Experimental way to identify more opportunities
One of the chronic concerns of a performer is from where is the next gig coming. By putting her web site on her CV and business card, musical directors and producers can get richer information about her looks, vocal quality and acting talents even before an audition. A number of other companies have even started talent agencies based on the web with clients surfing the catalogue of performers to find audition candidates.
