Welcome to Gaia! ::

"The basics?" SHe blinked at that and tried to think, but then Zip spoke up and she nodded. "Kinda like that. My agent got me on that. I have flat notes sometimes, so I work on them through humming first. If I can hit it right, humming, then I can singing."

She looked to Zip's legs and smirked. They were equally as hairless as her own, and she shaved this morning. "Right... Your face." She went on with it, but there was a laugh in her eyes.

Zip took a sip of his water to hide his face due to his embarrassment about the topic of his shaved legs. He quickly changed the topic back to singing. "It only distorts your voice if you are using a bad recorder," he said. "Also singing to someone playing the music for you and have a vocal coach to help you master the songs. There's lots of ways to practice singing really." He paused for a second. "So, Riley, Khahlela, do you two have any gigs or acts lined up for the future?"

Zip Afron
"When auditioning for Gisney, they really like young people who seem to be innocent and can be easily taken advantage of when it comes time for signing contracts," Zip laughed. On his first contract, Gisney completely ripped him off, but he got fame and influence over the company. So for his second contract, he pushed harder and got much money. "I could see what I can do, I have some influence in Gisney. I can try hooking you both up with some deals if you'd both be interested in that."

Lela blinked at this news and nodded. She'd been content to let the two talk for a while. "For Ginsey? I could sing for the movies and such. I'm no actor. There's a reason I sing." She flushed a little and laughed, looking to Riley, seeing how eager she was.

"Oh, don't do that! If you do date someone like that, and it goes all wrong, you get the worse kind of publicity about you!" At least, she assumed she would.

"I suppose so," Riley said. She had mostly been joking, she couldn't see herself taking orders and dating someone because she had been told to.

She ran her hands through her hair to push back the strays and looked over at Zip. "Oh, I never asked. What are you doing out and about today? This doesn't seem like some big fancy resturant or anything. Just taking a day off? Or hiding?" Zip hardly seemed like the type of person to just disappear for a few days, he always had movies coming out (No matter how terrible they could be), so she never imagined he had downtime.

"That sounds nice, having time off. Gonna do anything else? Maybe visit some amusement parks?" The thought of Zip showing up for a nice relaxing day at Gisneyland was kind of funny. There was no telling how many screaming fan girls would be there.

"Oh! I was picked to play Odile in Swan Lake. I know Odette is the bigger role, but Odile is so interesting. Maybe you should come to a show? I've always found the ballet a pretty relaxing pasttime."

"Sure, no problem," she said grinning. "I've got it written down at my apartment, so I'll send you an email when I get back, I'm pretty sure I still have your email on my computer."

Riley couldn't help but feel a little giddy inside. She really did like Zip as just a normal person. He was very nice and easy to talk to (even if he slipped and acted totally girly, it was part of his charm, she decided). It was just that, as much as she liked him on a personal level, she knew she also liked him on a professional leval, as having him coming to her performance could only help her attain a higher status in the fame world (even though she hated the thought of using people as stepping stones, it seemed like an unavoidable fact of life).

"Well, I should probably head out now, I'm sure you'd like to enjoy the rest of your day in peace." She smiled sweetly as she stood up and dug into her bag for money. "I really only came by for a drink. I've gotta get home and then into the studio to workout." She waved at him as she headed for the door. "It was nice talking to you," Riley said over her shoulder. "Oh! And it was nice to meet you, Lela!" she added, remembering to be polite.
