Step into a sanctuary of vibration, stillness, and inner exploration. In this deeply restorative sound‑bath meditation, Amra the White Lion guides participants on an astral journey through the healing resonance of singing quartz bowls, gongs, bells, and chimes. As layers of harmonic overtones wash through the space, the mind softens, the breath deepens, and the body enters a state of profound relaxation. The crystalline tones of quartz bowls open spacious inner landscapes, while the grounding pulse of gongs and the shimmering textures of bells and chimes help release tension and invite clarity. This experience is designed for anyone seeking: Deep relaxation Meditative stillness Emotional reset Energetic cleansing A gentle, cosmic journey within Participants are encouraged to lie down, get comfortable, and allow the sound to carry them into a dreamlike, restorative state. No prior meditation experience is needed—just an open heart and a willingness to drift.
A place for suiters to cooldown, hydrate, fix mishaps, etc. One handler per suiter please! PLEASE NOTE: the room may be used by dancers to cooldown during the dance competition. Please give them space to breathe, thank you!

First, I plan to introduce myself as a professional voice actor- I'll be giving some examples of my work while talking about how I had gotten started. Then, I'll share my own personal experiences with auditioning, cold-calling, and performing. I'll talk about the equipment that I use, the tools of the trade, and the mindset required for being a voice actor. I want to motivate the attendees of this panel; I'm not showing off or boasting. I want to show them that they can do it! The last 20 minutes of said panel will be an open mic for questions. By the way, here's my website and visual reel. If you have any further questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] https://triplelvoiceover.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z79ZdXgio_U

This panel explores the rich lineage and modern renaissance of modular, semi‑modular, and virtual synthesizers—an ever‑expanding ecosystem that continues to shape experimental music, sound design, and live performance. Through historical context, technical insight, and creative demonstration, the session will illuminate how modular synthesis has evolved from room‑sized machines to today’s portable, expressive Eurorack systems. The panel concludes with a psychedelic, immersive performance by Amra the White Lion, blending modular synthesis and live percussion.
