I had a great time in the studio back in March with my a cappella vocal group, In Transit. It’s always a blast to do a vocal session, but directing a session in addition to singing is even better in some ways because it challenges my noggin and works my other skills as a musician and producer.
I’m really excited about how the demo turned out. The editing and mixing process was a lot of fun. We did some sweetening and recording of clap tracks (and a whole mess of fun stuff for the Stevie Wonder tune). Sweet goodness! Special thanks to Martin (our tenor) for his master editing chops in ProTools!
After a successful debut online, Couch Cases is generating a lot of buzz. The show has been featured in USA Today and Tubefilter News, and the latest is a feature in the Toronto Star! Matt Carter says, “The jokes are sly, the characters charming and likeable.”
As Co-Creator and Executive Producer of the show, I couldn’t be prouder! Putting out all four episodes last fall felt like giving birth four times in 3 months. Couch Cases is our baby, and we’re so appreciative of the wonderful feedback and support we’re getting from fans in the online community. We have over half a million views already, and the number of people we’re reaching is still rising!
Introducing Couch Cases, a new comedy series created, written, and produced by Patrick Ortman and Kathi Funston. The show is directed by Patrick and stars Kathi as the neurotic but lovable Dr. Amy.
After weeks in the editing room, we’re proud to announce the release of the Couch Cases trailer. We had a great time putting this together. I love producing and editing as much as writing because it’s another chance to tell a good story. I also had fun being on the other side of the fence for a change while directing the session with Glenn Hamilton, our voiceover talent.
Production for Couch Cases is going well, and I’m thrilled to have my first writing and producing credits added to my IMDb page to compliment my acting creds. Hmm, I wonder if I can get street cred also?
Oh, for the love of comedy! We’re currently in production for Couch Cases, a comedy web series I created and co-wrote with talented writer/director Patrick Ortman. Watch for it soon!
