On this episode of Real Talks on the Rocks, I sit down with Johann Michael Camat and his wife Dorothy Camat. 

Johann and Dorothy are career performing artists who met while performing as part of the Broadway show Miss Saigon in Toronto, Canada. They have had an incredible career in the theatre industry and in the vocal industry. Johann and Dorothy give you an idea of what the "life" is like while on tour with a Broadway show and how they have each transitioned into a new era of the performing arts. 

Johann also talks about finding your own singing voice and how to survive in the sometimes cutthroat industry. Johann is currently a Bay Area R&B singer who performs at many clubs throughout the region and beyond.
