West Coast Haunt Convention WCHC Portland 2012

Posted by Robyn Burns on June 06, 2012 (0 Comments)

 Ethereal Fx Debuted some new Automation accessories at the West Coast Haunter’s Convention in Portland Oregon this last week, and we made a big splash doing it! West Coast Haunt Convention was the perfect place to demo our new EtherRelay’s. The ER-HV (high voltage) and ER-LV (low voltage) allow simple, safe solutions for controlling almost any gizmo or gadget (pneumatics, linear actuators, hydraulics, stand alone prop controllers, a/v systems, motors, fans, pumps, valves, lights, should I keep going?)  from an Ether-Hub. And if you can control it from an Ether-Hub you can stick it anywhere and control it from anywhere else.  Ether-Hubs, Ether-Relays, QC-series input devices and VenueMagic can now transform any venue into a fully automated modern affair controlled from your PC, Ipad, Iphone, or Android devices. If you couldn’t make it to the show in Portland Check out the new ER-LV, ER-HV, QC-24, and VenueMagic and how they can make your venue come to life on our website. Or better yet get a custom quote for automating your venue by phone or e-mail. If venue Automation and Show Control just doesn’t get your creative gears  turning we also demonstrated our Venue design, Makeup design, and character creation services. Ethereal FX has a complete technical staff capable of handling the design and implementation of creative plans and services wherever you may be. We utilize the latest in teleconferencing tools to work with your team or technical staff whether you are learning to apply character designs, makeup application, Show control and automation, or just need some tech support. We are here to help quickly, easily, and affordably.

Kathy Deitch teaches Broadway by the beach!

Posted by Robyn Burns on May 07, 2012 (0 Comments)
From the woman who made it on Broadway:
WICKED -- RENT -- HAIR -- FOOTLOOSE -- and SO much more!

*Mission
To make auditioning something you look forward to instead of dread-- so that talented folks CAN book jobs!

AUDITIONS BOOT CAMP breaks down your musical theatre audition process moment to moment:
*Entering the room
*Speaking to your accompanist with clarity
* Finding the right focal point
* Managing a graceful exit
* ...and all points in between. 

You know, all the stuff you never rehearse after you learn your music.

Kathy’s class is the only class out there that deals in the one area where actors tend to shoot themselves in the foot – what to do in the audition room when you are not singing or reading your sides. 
Of course she also helps you with your performance and gives advice on appropriate material. But honestly, your entrance into the room, the dialogue between songs with the CD and your interaction with the accompanist are just as important.


Limited space available for this 3 hour intimate workshop for only $50 a person!
*Note: Scholarships available. 
Ages 14 and up (all persons under 18 must accompanied by a guardian)
Please direct all questions for Support@etherealfx.com

In Kelrick productions rendition of The Rocky Horror Show Ethereal FX supplied; tech crew, stage crew, Lighting design, show control and a lot of heart.
