Tammi Mac, of KJLH, works hard and diligently to provide a monthly mixer in L.A. dedicated to aspiring entertainers at her Minute Microphone Mixer. Ms. Mac has notable casting directors, producers, and movers and shakers in the industry attend and participate – you just never know who may be at the event seeking available talent! Let me tell you living in L.A. – the city of where people will sell you a dream (which I am too broke to buy) it’s refreshing to see events created by African American’s actually making dreams come true for those who might not otherwise gain access into the entertainment industry.
Last month Tracy “Twinkie” Byrd known for casting BET’s Mary Jane, Fruit Vale Station, and Sparkle (to name a few) was in attendance, it is rumored she is seeking talent for an Aaliyah biopic. Ms. Byrd dropped some GEMS for everyone that evening, “Many have gotten so caught up in trying to obtain instant fame they forget to perfect their craft…utilize social media to your advantage and study movies… watch them more than once to see it in all perspectives not only for sheer entertainment”.
The mixer gives you a minute to display your talent… you can sing, do poetry, rap, perform a monologue, etc. I have attended Tammi Mac’s mixers quite a few times and I am never disappointed! I interviewed a few people before they performed –what a treat.
It was also great to see all the Aaliyah hopefuls audition; I think Twinkie may have a hard task at hand, but if I am Ms. Byrd I would like to make your job a little easier can you cast me as Missy I can dance, I am cute and I am fun so that can be one less part you have to worry about (smiles)!
The price of admission to Tammi Mc’s Minute Microphone Mixes is $10.00…yes; I said only $10.00 to perform your talent for 60 seconds in front of some of Hollywood’s who’s who in the industry.
