They included me in a bunch of scenes, but the most prominent one involves the characters Laura and Ted and a fire alarm in a London hotel. Look for me in a bath robe with a blue scarf around my head!</span>&nbsp;</p> <p>We arrived on location at about 5:15 AM, received instructions, and ate a delicious breakfast. Around 7:00 AM, the hair stylist put my hair in rollers; when she took them out, she teased my hair to give it some &rsquo;60s pouf. However, my first scene was shot around 1 PM and the curl didn&rsquo;t hold that long. So the stylist restyled my hair into a beehive!<span class="fcg"> </span></p>http://www.findingmysingingvoice.com/picture/pan%20am%2002%20anne%20marie%20behr-berman.jpg?pictureId=12223665<p>On set, the hair stylist noticed that my poufy hair had fallen, so she restyled it into a beehive. It took so long that I missed the first scene involving extras.</p>http://www.findingmysingingvoice.com/picture/pan%20am%2003.jpg?pictureId=12223667<p>I wore my own jewelry - a vintage Monet necklace and vintage gold-tone earrings - with approval from the wardrobe department.</p>http://www.findingmysingingvoice.com/picture/pan%20am%2004.jpeg?pictureId=12223669<p>I never knew my hair could stay up like this, but I now realize that hairspray makes anything possible!</p>http://www.findingmysingingvoice.com/picture/pan%20am%2005.jpeg?pictureId=12223672<p>The tweed shift dress and jacket, the purse, and the gloves were provided by the production company. I wore my own shoes and jewelry.</p>http://www.findingmysingingvoice.com/picture/jd%20%20catherine.jpg?pictureId=5094532<p>My student J.D. aced his very first audition and landed the role of the Cheshire Cat in <a href="http://www.mediatheatre.org">Media Theatre</a>&#8217;s production of <em>Alice in Wonderland</em>.

We could participate in master classes and also had the chance to schedule private lessons with <a href="http://www.esm.rochester.edu/faculty/?i=dept#12">Eastman voice faculty</a>. Here I am practicing for the closing recital in which I sang &#8220;The Daises&#8221; by Samuel Barber.</p> <p><strong>click thumbnail to view full photo</strong></p>http://www.findingmysingingvoice.com/picture/2009-08-07%20ckb%20at%20esm%201.jpg?pictureId=3038545<p>In August, I attended an excellent weeklong workshop for voice teachers at the Eastman School of Music. Called <a href="http://www.esm.rochester.edu/summer/institutes.php#Eastman_Sings">&#8220;Eastman Sings!

(The three boys are often sung by women.) The production was set in India, and I was hoping to wear a sexy sari. No such luck - they made me a bald boy. (That&#8217;s me to the far left.) It wasn&#8217;t exactly glamorous, but it was tons of fun - and even more hard work! I learned a lot and loved every moment. (Well, almost. Putting on the bald cap was no fun at all!)</p> <p>(Photo: Paul Sirochman)</p> <p><strong>click thumbnail to view full photo</strong></p>http://www.findingmysingingvoice.com/picture/2005%20-%20ckb%20-%20joseph%20kaczmarek.jpg?pictureId=2118462<p>A photographer at the Kimmel Center needed to test the light, so he asked me to smile for the camera. :)</p> <p>Photo: Joseph Kaczmarek</p> <p><strong>click thumbnail to view full photo</strong></p>
