News Of Delaware County Profiles Singer Liz Seymour

Jim Rutter Writes That Swarthmore Singer Strives for the Spotlight

The News of Delaware County writer Jim Rutter asks in his article that profiles Liz Seymour, "What do singers Joan Jett, Kid Rock and Strath Haven High School alumni Liz Seymour all share in common? Each started by selling their self-produced albums out of the trunks of their cars.And in this recessed economy, Seymour is proving that hope can still inspire young performers to take risks and follow their dreams."

He goes on to say that in the summer of 2008, Liz went to Range Recording Studios in Ardmore, PA to produce her debut album "Liz Seymour – That Thing Called Love" – a collection of love songs coming from the country, pop, and Broadway show tune arenas.

Mr. Rutter is quick to point out that a search of Google search on "Liz Seymour sings" turns up hundreds of hits because she has such an extensive website (LizSeymour.com), Facebook Profile (Liz Seymour's Fan Page on Facebook – Click Here! NOTE: If you do not have a Facebook account, you might not be able to see this page.), and MySpace page (Liz Seymour's MySpace Page – Click Here!).

Liz's website, Facebook page, and MySpace page are filled with videos, song clips from her CD and elsewhere, and information about Liz and her time in the studio. Liz is also prominently displayed on YouTube (Liz Seymour on YouTube – Click Here To See!) and other video sharing sites. Videos are produced by Liz's father (marketing expert Charles Seymour Jr) and by her fans.

Mr. Rutter goes on to say that Liz's new CD fits "her music theater background, featuring songs that display her three-octave high-soprano range (the girl can belt!), some infused with a pop and country sensibility. The title she took from a line in "Gimme, Gimme" a signature number in "Thoroughly Modern Millie," a role she'd still love to perform, and which she sung to win the Miss West Chester University competition in 2004.

"So why produce an album if she's still performing? Seymour says she 'felt inspired' by the success of her childhood friend (and fellow Player's Club alum) Josh Young, a Broadway star who released his own CD the year before and also appears in duet on Seymour's compilation. Plus, she 'didn't want to be left without a reminder, something I could show to my children and grandchildren.'"

Teaching is important to Liz. She is a sixth grade teacher at PA Leadership Charter School and teaches, directs, and choreographs for the Young People's Theatre Workshop at The Players Club of Swarthmore. She is a role model to her students, showing them ways to use their talents to enrich their lives.

"'I love singing, and if I could do that every day for an audience, it would be a blessing.'"
