Someone's stolen my credit card info & been trying to use them on supermarket & ticket sites. Am not happy. Hassle galore. #

And now for a #ff The wise: @navarrotells & the talented: @panacea81 #

There are days when I love being from East Anglia: http://bit.ly/dsocYs #

* Think I'm coming down w/ something, dialect work patchy. Voice keeps giving out #

* Welsh dialect work today. Loving Rob Brydon's tones. #

* Singing 'Tell Me It's Not True' from Blood Brothers. #

* Working on my first year self appraisal. Regular tweeting definitely gets a "could do better". #

The city I'm from is one of those up for UK City of Culture! Culture? Hmmm. Is it in hiding? #

* Watching 'The Big Chill'. Is there anything about Glenn Close to not love? #

Awww, Vanessa Redgrave is amazing. #BAFTAs #

Damn EastEnders was good tonight, don't usually watch. Should be be live all the time, much more fun. #

* More Scottish dialect work. #

* Continuing the vocal theme. I need to branch out. #

* Returned to Scottish dialect work. Much better, recognisable now. 6 weeks away from it have done me good. #

* The building blocks can be a tad a dull. Worthwhile, but there's some dullness all the same. #

* Found an old Muppets tape. I love Ben Vereen's voice, could listen to it for hours. #

* Am still working on the voice, practitioners and speeches etc. Not tweeting much as I am still more dull than I care to admit. #

* Singing along to EP on the radio. #

RT @Dramagirl Something I just learned ‘Off-Off-Broadway theaters are defined as theaters that have fewer than 100 seats.’ #theatre #

Has twitter been slow for you so far this year? Today’s the first time I’ve been able to keep up with my stream in ages. #

* Continuing with Hagen. I’m sensing a long running theme will develop *must be more exciting*. #

* More Hagen. Objectives and “doings”. Finding the word “doings” amusing. Feel about 7 yrs old. #

* More on Hagen. Love that she worked/trained on her own too. #

* Suzman reminds me of my old drama teachers. So giving up on it (is that blasphemy?) and moving on to Hagen, much more fun. #

* Shakespearean Comedy. Yes, more of the same. I am v. dull. #

* Continuing the Suzman theme. #

* Still on the Bard, this time Suzman’s take. #

* Returned to Barton today, ahhh. Am stepping away from the dialect before I get too obssessed. #

* Have been v. quiet on the training front. Two lovely friends gave me voice books/cds for xmas. Am immersed. #

Happy New Year! Have a good one #
