This past week 2 major top life moments happened for me: the American Reunion premiere and WonderCon. Instead of putting pen to virtual paper, I decided that I should vlog to commemorate all of the awesome things that have happened and explain to you all just why these events are so important to me, so here goes:

This life completely rocks and I’m so stoked that I’ve been able to share my journey with you through my vlog and now at Talk Nerdy to Me Lover.
Since I did the vlog for various different outlets including Somebody’s Basement and originally a YouTube project called Musecast, I’ve archived all of the episodes on a separate channel if you are interested in checking out my journey from the beginning.
Hurray for top life moments!!! I would love to hear about your ambitions and dreams and top life moments too. From a nerdy girl making her way in this big ol’ world, I’m wishing you all massive success with whatever it is you are passionate about. #NerdsUnite!

I’ve been choir geek forever. I started singing in a group at my church when I was 5 years old. I then joined a children’s chorus when I was 8, sang in every choir I could in high school, and then majored in “jazz voice” in college. I am a full fledged choir geek and music nerd.
Here’s a video for proof:
Part of my love for NBC’s “The Voice” comes from my background in music and the other part, the absolute pure joy of seeing people do what they love and chase their dreams. I have the utmost respect for these people because as an actor, that’s what I do every day, and every day I get closer to my goals just like they do.
I’m not going to lie, every single episode makes me cry and this is coming from a girl who really dislikes most reality television.
But there is something about “The Voice” that’s different. The show is about taking what is unique and amazing about someone and helping it flourish, not about forcing them to fit into some cookie cutter industry mold. I absolutely LOVE it. There is no finding the people that are the worst singers so that all of America can laugh at them. No one is tearing these singers down, it’s solely about building them up.
If you don’t watch this show, I totally suggest that you start…that you at least watch the “blind auditions” aka) first four episodes. And no…I’m not endorsed by NBC or “The Voice,” I’m merely an uber fan who wants to share the love, happy tears, and some joyous music.
Sing on Nerds! Sing on!
