Did you know you can become completely different characters, if you embrace being a product of the environment that you're placed in?'The space around you doesn't only affect your mood and well-being, but also people do that can turn us into a character we never expected.'The L'Herisse VOX Acting Technique is an approach to acting developed by American film/theatre practitioner Joel Brown. The goal of the VOX approach is for the actor to not focus on drowning out facing the music and instead concentrate on the sounds in the environment to become the character it's trying to shape you into.The following acting approach was birth from the development of my mental illness, that's how I know it works!This course examines the acting process and technique of living in a hallucination and delusional state of mind based on atmospheric sounds and music. That examination includes the basics of drawing from your environment to create a character through using creative imagination to get into character with music that includes: the fundamentals of unconscious awareness, the psychology of music: rhythm and movement, and creating kairos moments out of various ambiences, character study/analysis, character movement, voice/diction, dialogue, characterization, and imparting positive psychology of character strengths/virtues to not just develop a character but help teach your audience also. This course experiences the process of developing a character with a song and ambiance from concept to stage to workshop/showcase/perform.So get ready to turn up the volume, close your eyes, let the music take over your soul, and face the music in the scene that disturbs you with this new acting technique!

"Bullet holes in a Life Is Great T-shirt. It was the kind of cheap irony I would have written a song about, normally. But it wasn't so funny when it happened to someone I knew." Singer Baxter McLean had one hit in the 1980s, "Mirror Ball Man," but he's barely scraped by as a barroom folksinger ever since. Now yuppies and developers are taking over the funky little harbor town of Libertyport, Massachusetts, where he lives. When he sings a protest song against a waterfront hotel project, Baxter finds himself the prime suspect in at least one murder. Solving the case himself is the only way out. On the bright side, the publicity might jump-start his career - and his love life.

Mystery

A mermaid. A shipwreck. And a murder. It’s our maritime heritage. The annual Yankee Old Home Days festival in Libertyport, Massachusetts, has hit rough seas. The new preacher in town is firing up his flock to protest a saucy sculpture. A booze cruise goes overboard. And a fisherman’s son dies violently in his apartment above the Thirsty Lobster bar. Singer-songwriter Baxter McLean (star of the first Libertyport mystery, "Mirror Ball Man") will have to take a break from recording his comeback album to catch a killer. The second Libertyport Mystery from author Joel Brown returns to the picturesque port city on the North Shore of Massachusetts, where townies, artists and yuppies mingle uneasily and the tourists never stop coming.
