On a separate note, I’d like to announce that big changes are coming. I’m on the precipice of something awesome professionally, and I’m really thrilled with the hand I have been dealt; my life is an open book and I have no clue what the next chapter will be. (Pardon the horrid cliche .)

With that being said, I’m collaborating with my roommate on a new design for the site. I’ve never felt like this site accurately portrays who I am. Yeah, you get an idea through my wordy ramblings, but something is lacking. Actually I feel this way about most of my friends websites. They seem generic and static, with no human connection to the person on screen. Since I’m all about relating to and knowing the essence of who someone is, my website needs to reflect this. So be on the lookout for something new and fresh, a website that really lets you know who I am. I have no idea what my roommate, Mike, and I will come up with, but it’ll be tight. I asked for one of those tiny HD cameras for Christmas, so maybe I can do some video blogging. That would be fresh, aight! (yeah, I went there)

Okay, that’s enough for now – keep it real folks. Oh, and on a completely different note, I have been on a train charming spree – it seems like every time I walk down to the subway the train is right there. This must continue. I like. A lot. LOVE!

It reminds me how much I miss my alma mater; I had the time of my life in college and would not be where I am today if it were not for the IU experience. The SoM ballets and operas are stunning, easily rivaling numerous professional companies. Do yourself a favor and check it out here!

Also, look for me next Tuesday on WTHR Channel 13, for a quick interview with our amazing narrator, Amanda Lawson, and Angela Cain, WTHR Community Affairs Director.

Radio Disney Interview

Too often, I think performers view an audition as solely a judgment of their talent. So I have come up with a class that will work towards understanding and embracing that everyone is talented and unique, and an ideal audition is one where you are able to show whomever is behind the table the essence of who you are and what you bring to a role. This makes it easier for casting to get a show up, and in my experiences, is far more effective as a performer.

We’ll cover a boatload of information in class – insider stuff that performers auditioning for colleges or looking to make the leap to a major market will find essential as well as actors who want to feel great about the work they are doing in the audition room! Please email me for details! rick@rickdesloge.com

On another note, I’m getting some pictures taken over the next week by the fabulous Julie Curry. Hopefully I can update the site with stuff that is a little more “me”.

Let me know if you have any suggestions. I want to incorporate my twitter feed, redesign the graphics, etc.

Julie and I are going to kill this shoot, so hopefully we get some edgy stuff to work with.

So listen live on Radio Disney, 98.3 FM tomorrow morning by clicking here!
