I've used Zandi's self tape services a few times and the quality of my auditions that come out are excellent. She has the equipment to make your videos look so professional (as if it were done in a studio/casting office). I highly recommend Zandi for all your self tape needs and if you are fortunate to use her services then I am confident your audition video will make a memorable impression to the producers and directors. Thank you Zandi for helping me throughout my auditions!!

In terms of a radio station, it's awesome that they are playing eclectic music on FM. There is a wide array of content, from all walks of life. The owner is awesome, and should be commended for his efforts and making this place a reality. In terms of a volunteer organization, it absolutely fails. I volunteered there for several years, and found it to be very cliquey. Aside from one or two people, volunteers with more seniority make zero attempt to make you feel welcome, resulting in a high turnover of enthusiastic new members who stop coming after a few times. No one introduces themselves. Countless times I'd walk in to the station to be un-greeted, and looked over with apathy and indifference. It was so palpable at times, that it killed my enthusiasm and made me leave. Most of the contact between volunteers is done through email and Slack, a cloud-based collaboration tool. All of the regulars are quick to respond to one another, pat themselves on the back, and quick to tell you when you're doing something wrong, but if you have a question, they literally never, ever get back to you, unless they need something from you. That's the reason new people don't stick around, and that's the reason I left. Actual face-to-face meetings felt like a cool kids table. If you are a self-motivated, DIY kinda person who wants to have a radio show, you are certainly given the tools to get you there. If you want to feel like you a part of a community, you are ranked based on age, melanin, and genitalia. There's a lot of younger volunteers who pollute the meetings seeming to care nothing about music, professionalism, egalitarianism, and instead want to wear a provocative t-shirt and push their political agendas and SJW ideologies. Literally, the biggest safe space banner you will ever see hangs on the wall as a constant reminder that you're only welcome in this spot, if you fit the criteria. People went out of their way to make me feel unwelcome. A few times I was working in the station during a new member orientation, listening to the organizer with ill-fitted attire and a water bottle with an Antifa sticker say "like" every other word, and repeatedly making it clear that they don't want "bands with like, all white guys, like, playing shows here". No one is there to reprimand this unprofessional behavior, resulting in less than 1/10 of the new volunteers each meeting sticking around more than a few weeks. I suppose in defense of H.E.R., you're only as good as your volunteer base. I hope some fresh faces with outgoing personalities really clean up the place, but you'll, like, have the cards, like, stacked against you.

Somehow they got my last review deleted. So I guess I'll…read moretype up another one. I emailed Joe, the owner of Orbit Audio. I requested 4 weeks in advance to have a spot booked up. I messaged back and forth with the audio engineer he assigned. As a side note, I flew from San Francisco, CA to Seattle, WA to record with them. 3 days before hand, they told me I was still good to go for the session. With about 16 hours before my session they cancelled on me telling me they had booked someone else and couldn't take me in. As a musician of 25+ years, they treated me like a 'second rate' musician. So let me tell you this. If you're an indie artist, DO NOT go here. They cancelled on me just to get a couple more hours of time booked. A little bit of extra money in their pockets. They didn't take into account that I had spent the previous 4 weeks non-stop preparing for the session, just to cancel on me with less than 24 hours notice. These are audio engineers, not artists or musicians. They simply do not care about anything other than the money in their pockets. When I was told I was cancelled, they tried to get me to go to another location at one of their audio engineers house. Please tell me how if I'm looking at paying anywhere between $500-$1,000 for a day of recording and mastering that I would want to go to someones house to record. They will rush you and attempt to take advantage of you. Stay away from here. P.s. If you don't believe me, here's a screenshot from the owner apologizing forgetting to book me. Even though they had CONFIRMED with me 3 days prior to cancellation that I was good to go for the session. Did I mention I flew into Seattle, WA from San Francisco, CA to do this session

I'm a guitarist and sing a little bit, but had always wanted to explore whether I could actually make my voice stronger through coaching or whether I was just one of those guitarists who should step away from the microphone. Well, I am pleased to say that in just the few short weeks of the UMF class, Cherie's lessons on vocal exercises, breathing, and mouth technique changed my voice. I am a stronger singer, have better tone, and am much more confident than I was before taking her class. I will never front a band, but my backup singing is often commented on positively and I can rock the karaoke mic (at least in the right key wheelhouse!) standing up straight and forming my mouth around my breath correctly. Thanks Cherie!! Keep up the good work. I hope to learn more from you one day soon!

I've worked with Cherie now for almost a decade and I cannot stress how much she has changed not…read moreonly my perceptions but the lives and careers of many. I produced several individual concerts for her, solo acts, and a few outdoor events. Cherie is what one calls a consummate performer, leads the audience, has a deep soul which she shares with the crowd, works silently and intuitively with the stage or sound crew, and transmits energy and the goodness that is both music and the human spirit. I also provided sound and set-up support for a multimedia all-day event Cherie created and produced. Video and sync sound as well as a live stage with a back line Cherie had personally worked to get. The funding was also coordinated by Cherie. The whole concept of an entertainment "event" with food, drink, live multiple act music and live video taping was a demonstration project which Cherie created to show the whole gamut of possibilities in the world of Music/The Arts Is A Profession. And, by that Cherie means that part of the world of performance and music is attention to cost and income and overall economic growth. Building a reputation and working the smaller venues and then a few shared larger act events is what Cherie has been teaching by doing for at least a decade now. Building your repertoire and expanding your audience and repeat venues is the foundation which Cherie knows inside-out (having done all of it herself very successfully). Cherie gives back to the community, too, in a way that matters the most - by handing the keys to self-fulfillment and self-actualization to the youth. I was a guest participant as sound engineer for a summer program Cherie led at the Meadowbrook Teen Life Center. She rounded up two percussionists, a scratch DJ, herself as a vocalist and spent part of the summer molding a group of about 1/2 a dozen teens into a self-assured, coherent musical group who produced a copyrighted original piece at the end. Cherie knows what she's doing and brings an insight and passion to Music - as a profession and as a gift she has. Did I say she can sing a mean blues tune or make you get out of your seat with some foot-dancing soul? Well, she can do that too! Highly recommended.
