Sync Multiple Computers to the Cloud

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

You have probably heard a bit about the “cloud” and “cloud computing?”

Windows and Mac users now have an even easier way to use Velvet Singer on multiple computers. Windows Live Mesh, Dropbox.com and a few other computer syncing services work great to keep you all perfectly put together.

Go to either website to download the service. Essentially what it does is carve out a new folder(s) that sync to the cloud. Place Velvet Singer entirely within a syncing folder. You still run the software directly on your computer and don’t lose any of that rich software-like feature set, yet changes to your data will be ready and waiting for you when you begin work on your other computer. Simple as that.

Watch this You Tube video to learn more about Windows Live Mesh or click here to learn more about Dropbox. According to my customers, they both work great!

Interview on “The Voice Within” by Travis Whitlock, Tenor

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Please see this recently posted interview, titled “The Alchemy of Talent: Interview with Tenor Bill Bennett “ by Travis Whitlock, writing for his blog, The Voice Within.

Travis is a graduate student at the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, specializing in lyric tenor repertoire including Bach, Handel, Mozart, Purcell and Rossini. I initially met him through Dr. Dana Brown’s graduate-level seminar, “Topics for the Professional Singer,” and was immediately impressed with how Travis developed an active blog following and mailing list, and the professionalism with which he carries himself.

Mostly he writes about me as a person and as a performer. You may be interested to read his kind comments on Velvet Singer Software:

“Bill has developed a software, Velvet Singer, that competitively meets the needs of today’s performers. The most fascinating point about Bill’s software is that it was really designed with the singer in mind. With it, performers are able to organize lessons, run reports on their repertoire, keep a database of various contacts, and even sync with outside applications; and this is just the very tip of the iceberg. Essentially it’s a tool that helps performers take control of their world and plan for results.” Read More.
