Jason Budd: Links

http://www.artstaxinfo.com/musicians.shtml: Great site for singers tax info and a GREAT itemized worksheet for expenses
http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/variations/scores/scores.html: Stuck somewhere without a score? IU's library has online scrollable and printable copies of most major opera scores free of charge!
http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php?sitepal: Stuck on foreign pronunciation? Type your text and the computer says the words the "correct" way
http://www.pianoworld.com/fun/javapiano/javapiano.htm: No keyboard or pitch pipe? Here is a site with an accurate point and click piano.
http://www.numbera.com/musictheory/piano.aspx: An even better piano that lets you use your keyboard keys as piano keys.
http://detrave.net/nblume/perfect-pitch/: An ear training game that will take you back to the days of theory class, but this time no skinny, bearded, unmarried professor/TA to make you feel inadequate.
http://www.stumbleupon.com/: GREAT site when there is nothing to do on the road. When you sign up you go thru a check list of subjects that interest you then when you install the small tool bar on your browser you click the Stumble button to find sites that others with your interests have given thumbs up to. As you rate more sites the program leads you to more sites that you may like. Also great as a place to store your web favorites online in case your computer dies. VERY addicting.
http://www.earthcaller.com/index.php: Earthcaller is a new PC-to-phone service that allows you call anywhere in North America for free!
http://www.wheresmycellphone.com/index.php: Locate your cell phone by having the computer call it for you. Kinda like the Locate handset on a cordless landline
http://www.timemachiner.com/: TimeMachiner is a new mini-app that lets you email people in the future. Use it to remind yourself to do something that you’ll more than likely forget, keep your future self on the straight and narrow, even wish your friends happy birthday.
http://www.magicjack.com/3/index.asp: MAGIC JACK... I know it sounds like something to do with adult entertainment, but it's a small usb device that you plug in your computer then plug a regular phone in the magic jack (or use a headset on your computer) and if you have a broadband connection - you have unlimited calls to the US and Canada for, get this, $20 a year... yes I said a YEAR. And it actually works! You get your own number for people to call you plus voice mail, call waiting all that stuff and here's the kicker... if you are ANYWHERE in the world with a computer and broadband you can call anywhere in the US or Canada and it doesn't cost you anything extra!!
Pinnacle Arts Management: Contact the Uzan division of Pinnacle Arts for all employment inquiries.
New Forum for Classical Singers: An interesting site for singers to ask questions and get information on all aspects of singing. There is a lot of junk on here and strange opinions, but if you look hard enough you will find some good stuff too.
T.I.S. Music Store: Great place to get music scores and supplies.
Aria database: Information on arias and roles.
Opera Base: Great site for looking up info on companies and singers. Do a Singer search for Budd and you will see a few listings for me :)
The Mighty Mix: My good friend Kat's blog about wight lifting, writing, photography and much much more.
