Article by Paul Mitchell the School

Fran Drescher, Donny and Marie Osmond, and motivational speaker Kathy Buckley were just a few of the stars onstage at Paul Mitchell Schools’ 26th annual Caper event. Held February 9-10 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, the smoke-free, alcohol-free, hands-on educational extravaganza drew overł,300 students (known as “Future Professionals”) who earned the trip by selling more than .8 million in specially packaged Paul Mitchell products.

Top leaders in and out of the professional beauty industry delivered two days of nonstop education, motivation, and inspiration. On day one, an hour before show time, the doors opened and Future Professionals raced inside to grab great seats, filling the room with sky-high energy as they waited for the magic to begin.

Paul Mitchell Cofounder and Chairman John Paul DeJoria, Co-owner Angus Mitchell, Global Artistic Director Robert Cromeans, and Paul Mitchell Schools Dean and Cofounder Winn Claybaugh kicked things off with a warm welcome, then introduced three riveting stage shows whose “What Inspires You?” theme brought the audience to their feet.

First up: the Paul Mitchell Future Professional Design Team. Their fashion presentation featuring nine models (also Future Professionals) rivaled the best of the best in choreography, modeling, wardrobe, and makeup. Paul Mitchell’s Global Cutting Team was led by Angus Mitchell, Scott Cole, Takashi Kitamura, and Robert Cromeans, who wowed the crowd by creating a sensational haircut with clippers and a giant fork. Linda Yodice, Artistic Director for Paul Mitchell Color, shared a timely message for today’s economy about increasing business by understanding two key factors about your guests (time and money). Paul Mitchell Artistic Director Stephanie Kocielski led the Awapuhi Wild Ginger show, starring Paul Mitchell’s latest product line and featuring Melissa Jaqua, Lucie Doughty, LaDonna Dryer, George Morales, and Rosie Matos.

Donny and Marie Osmond asked to be part of Caper this year. Joined by members of their Las Vegas show, they entertained for half an hour and extended heartfelt thanks to Future Professionals for supporting Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals through the Paul Mitchell Schools 2010 and 2011 FUNraising campaign. The Nanny star, Fran Drescher, popped in for a surprise visit and extended her thanks for support of her Cancer Schmancer Foundation. Audience favorite Kathy Buckley, America’s first hearing impaired comedian and founder of No Limits, shared her inspiring life story and reminded the audience that who you are is up to you and everyone is special. In a Q&A session after her talk, nearly every Future Professional had the same question for Kathy: “Can I give you a hug?”

Additional speakers included author and Paul Mitchell school owner Giulio Veglio and Modern Salon publisher Steve Reiss, who recognized Lucie Doughty, Scott Cole, and Linda Yodice for their feature article and cover of this month’s Modern Salon magazine. Diana Schmidtke, celebrity men’s grooming specialist whose clients include George Clooney, Matt Damon, Harrison Ford, and countless Hollywood superstars, shared her secrets for career success.

Other highlights included the Career Fair, where Future Professionals mingled with salon representatives, practiced their interview skills, and learned about opportunities across America, and the Caper Mall, featuring a full line of Paul Mitchell logo wear and educational tools. Day one ended with a favorite Paul Mitchell tradition: the White Party, where Future Professionals took pictures with their favorite stars and danced the night away.

Day two centered around three hands-on classroom rotations with top Paul Mitchell artists and educators. Haircutting and color classes were awash in a sea of mannequin heads: one for each of the 300-plus attendees in each room. Working with a theme of “What Inspires You?,” Future Professionals incorporated their own inspirations into new cutting and color techniques. In the “Look and Learn” classroom, Robert, Stephanie, Angus, Scott, and others demonstrated tips and techniques. New in this year’s lineup: a specialty class for skin care Future Professionals.

The closing show featured four top salon companies: A Robert Cromeans Salon, Lunatic Fringe, Floyd’s 99 Barbershops, and Angus Mitchell Salon. As Winn Claybaugh introduced the backstage teams responsible for the entire show–including wardrobe, makeup, production, logistics, choreography, classroom leaders, dancers, and models–his final message centered on the variety of careers and opportunities available in the beauty industry.

Asked what was the best thing that happened to her at Caper, one Future Professional said, “It felt like we were the celebrities. They’re teaching us to be the stars!”

Article by Kim Hayes

Let’s face it – even if you’re excited to start school, the new year is always an adjustment. Here areಌ books to get you in the right frame of mind!

What Learning Leaves by Taylor Mali· Taylor Mali, poet and former teacher, has been called the “Poet Laureate of the Classroom.” Taylor writes with real heart and understanding about the magic – and challenge – of teaching. If you need a jumpstart to your day, read “What Teachers Make.” It will make you cheer!

Both Art and Craft: Teaching Ideas that Spark Learningby Diana Mitchell, Leila Christenbury· A book for anyone who teaches reading or writing – it helps you find ways to integrate the fun, crafty activities students love in a way that really helps them learn. Don’t miss the “50 Alternatives to the Book Report” section – guaranteed to make those stacks of papers easier to face!

Classroom Instruction That Works: Research-Based Strategies for Increasing Student Achievement by Robert J. Marzano, Debra J. Pickering, Jane E. Pollock· The title sounds ponderous, but this book is a fairly easy read, offering ideas to implement in your classroom right away. From assigning homework and giving praise to using cooperative learning techniques and graphic organizers, teachers of all levels and subjects can benefit from this book.

Our Kids: Building Relationships in the Classroom by Chris Bowen· Bowen’s memoir will be difficult to put down and, sometimes, difficult to keep reading. You’ll meet some students and think, “I taught that kid!” and some who make you think, “I’m glad I never got that kid.” But overall, it is an insightful, emotional reminder of why many people choose to teach.

Literature Circles by Harvey Daniels· This book offers ways to implement student-led discussions and “book clubs” in the classroom. Daniels uses examples and ideas from real teachers at all grade levels. He also demonstrates how literary circles offer an alternative method for meeting national standards and preparing students for standardized tests.

The First Days of School: How to Be an Effective Teacher by Harry K. Wong, Rosemary T. Wong· This classic guide to classroom management is often called “required reading” for new teachers, but veterans can benefit from a read – or a re-read – before the new school year.

Teaching Outside the Box: How to Grab Your Students by their Brains by LouAnne Johnson· This book covers a little bit of everything, from discipline to student portfolios, but with a unique approach that allows experienced teachers to implement these ideas without feeling like they have to abandon their own teaching style.

Up the Down Staircase by Bel Kaufman· If you’ve never read this classic novel about teaching, do yourself a favor and read it – if possible, before this school year starts! It will make you eager to get back in the classroom.

I Read It, but I Don’t Get It: Comprehension Strategies for Adolescent Readers by Cris Tovani· Don’t let the “adolescent reader” part fool you: this book works for all ages. Tovani identifies common problems of struggling readers and offers tools to help those students finally make a connection between the words they stare at and the content they need to know.

Active Learning: 101 Strategies to Teach Any Subject by Mel Silberman· Designed in an easy-to-read format that lets you grasp each activity in moments, this book is the perfect solution for those times when you think, “I have to find a new way to do this content before it puts the kids to sleep!” The activities are best for middle school and older, though teachers of younger grades should be able to adapt many of them.

If You’re Not Here, Please Raise Your Handby Kalli Dakos· This is a great collection of poetry to share with your elementary or middle school students. From the student who has a hard time concentrating on a beautiful day to the student who brings a memorable show and tell item, these are fun, relatable poems that celebrate school. A great addition to your classroom library for the new year!

The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher’s Life (Parker J. Palmer)· This book is a beautiful, inspirational reminder that teaching comes from the inside – from the teacher’s heart, soul, spirit, and brain. A must-read for all teachers.

Ethnicity and regionalism in voice over, is your race or culture a burden?

By: Michael Minetree
Posted: Mar 19, 2006
Views: 415

This article has been on the shelves in the back of my mind for a while. I was waiting for the time to write it as much as I was waiting for the right words and phraseology to come to the forefront. This is and always will be a sensitive subject so I will attempt to treat it as such. I was further inspired to get it on paper now, by the recent departure of Isaac Hayes from the hit comedy cartoon South Park. Though the story of his departure includes religion and politics, neither one applies to this article. Isaac Hayes was the voice of the character Chef on Comedy Central’s animated series because of who he was and what he sounded like when he spoke. Why he left the show has nothing to do with this article, but his situation while working for the show may have some correlation. It seemed now was just as good a time to write it as any other, with a little national attention being given to a topic in the same family.


So ok already, enough with the justification for writing it. Get on with it…


In several years of learning the ins and outs of the voice over business, I have always wondered if voice over might someday become a great pillar of equality. Something that leveled the playing field for the diverse multicultural society we call America; a business with open doors for all, regardless of where we came from or what color our skin happened to be. As I continue to ponder the possibilities of such a level playing field, the answer to the overall question is a resounding no. It will not be a playing field of equality anytime soon, but maybe not for all of the same old reasons you might suspect.


In no other business would it be acceptable, or for that matter legal, to post a job opportunity or listing with criteria or parameters such as “Wanted, African American male or female.” or “looking for north American Caucasian male for this job.”; job postings that in their limits not so subtly say, “No others need apply.”


But in the voice over industry, the ability to pick and choose between male or female, black, white or Hispanic is not only an every day occurrence, it is the way business is done. Producers and casting directors are at liberty to be as finite as they like in their pursuit of the perfect match for their part. Does this make them evil, horrible people? No. But there is no shortage of talking points when it comes to how equally opportunities are spread among performers in the movie and television industry. Imagine the front doors of a large American corporation covered in posters to this effect: “wanted, computer programmer must be black female with a slight urban tinge to her voice.” The idea should be so far from the realm of possibility as to be laughable, at least in this day and age. But in the voice over industry there are daily postings that don’t imply or infer this. They come right out and say it.


No one will ever be able to tell the true intentions behind the people hiring for the project, and for our own sanity we might as well assume their intentions are good and with merit. With all of the attention and criticism Mel Gibson received for his hand in The Passion of the Christ, I don’t think the thought of a black male lead ever crossed the minds of the people in the casting department, and oh what a ruckus there would have been had that been the direction they decided to take that movie in. Did they cast a white male lead actor for the part of Jesus in order to preserve the accuracy of the story? If so, there are many in this country and the rest of the world that question that accuracy.


Wait a minute… I can feel this article spiraling… Apply breaks, return to original intention, and get back to the topic…


Ok, I think I got it.


Suffice it to say, that people’s true intent is generally buried so deep it is pointless to begin looking for it. If we want to move beyond the possibilities of prejudice and exception in this business, we will have to find a way to fool the directors and casting people. A way to beat the system that may or may not be in place. A way to overcome, so to speak, an obstacle that to this point remains faceless and so illusive it may never be tackled. We wont know what we are fighting, or if we are fighting anything at all. Not a very bright prospect.


Breaking Down Barriers.


When I have the opportunity to coach voice over talent with ethnic backgrounds different from my own, my mind opens to the fascination of the unknown. I am peering into a crevasse so deep and different from my own, that my receptors are on high alert. Inside that crevasse are many things I haven’t ever seen, culture I may have never witnessed, beliefs and experiences that I may have never considered. Many are portions of human existence that I have never encountered, and as they have shaped this person, might shape me a little as well. I must witness them, learn from them, feel them and hear them in order to better mold my approach to teaching this craft. That is usually much easier said than done. Many times I encounter actors or broadcast talent who have fought so hard to suppress their regionalism, ethnicity or nationality that getting them to lower the wall they have been at times forced to create, is not an easy task.


Much of my ability to break down these barriers is simply a developmental approach to building trust. You may ask why I would try to break these walls down at all; why not just leave them be and skim over them? Probably for the same reason when I speak to someone I want them to look me in the eye. As a coach, it is my job to dig as deep as I can to find the raw talent. Then I need to bring that talent to the surface where it can breathe, grow and flourish. This is a performance art, a human business, an art form that requires people be their true selves. I am trying to teach voice actors how to create characters, not teach one character how to become another. I need to be able to see the real person. It is there I will find the voice I am trying to coach. I cannot coach the person adorned with a shallow façade. I need to talk to the real person behind the wall.


Reality dictates that societal pressures and socioeconomic status along with cultural background will be the strongest influences governing how a person presents themselves to others. In the far from Utopian community of commercial voice over talent, producers, and companies that hire freelance talent outright, if the above mentioned factors lead you to speak anything but “The Kings English” (along with his accent) the world of opportunity in voice over will be forever very small for you. The way we speak, our intonation and the regional artifacts in our sound play a huge role in whether or not we see any success in this industry.


Becoming better versions of ourselves.


So many people pursuing voice over or broadcasting careers are forced by some unwritten word of law to mold their sound into something considered more user friendly. Who makes those laws or sets that policy is unknown to me, as well as the rest of us, but more often than not it dictates that: Urban accents and dialects are eliminated or suppressed. Culture is lost and regional flavor is buried. What is left over is a completely manufactured sound which in turn becomes the person’s permanent public or professional voice. Many times it sounds forced, which in turn makes it sound fake. When it sounds forced or fake the announcer sound starts to creep through. Forced, fake announcer style reads are not at the top of the hit list in the voice over business.
