Some people overseas are working on an epic movie. On Monday the director asked me to read a passage for the opening. Joining me for the session, a full symphony orchestra. Have you any idea what kind of performance it's possible to deliver when that kinda team has yer back?

Luckily no one could see me because more than a tear or two needed to be dried.

Took my breath away, literally.

"Philip, the orchestra will play and then you start on the first cue"

I thought that was just a figure of speech until the sound engineer hits some switches and I heard musicians doing musician stuff.

"Just another day at the office, guys" says Banks. Cue laugh.

Oh right you can ALL hear me!

That is totally cool, Philip. I know how exciting it is to sing with an orchestra, and I can imagine your experience was similarly thrilling!
