What will you learn in my studio?
I’ve been studying singing and performing for most of my life. Having experienced many of the issues that I’ve described above, and through persistence and a dedication to finding ways to improve my voice, I have gone on to be a very successful solo artist in many genres of singing. Now I’ve developed The Northwest Vocal Arts Coaching System™ for Singers to teach you how to gain a solid technique that will help you overcome any vocal problem you are experiencing.
This 6 step process will teach you:
• How your voice works and how to develop a beautiful tone • How to support your singing with your breath • Vocal and physical exercises for strengthening your voice • How to shape your song musically and dramatically • How to eliminate audition/performance anxiety nerves • What you need to know to prepare for an audition or performance
This will get you started on your vocal technique. As we progress, we will move into working on your career path, and I will guide you through finding auditions, performance opportunities, preparing your audition materials, and press kit (including headshots) plus getting you signed up with talent agencies, into shows, bands or opera programs - whatever your dream may be. I also hold Student Recitals and Performance Workshops to give you a chance to learn through experience by getting up and singing for others.
Look, there are a lot of people in the world who will tell you not to go for it. I call these the “can’t do and can’t have” people. These people are destined to stay where they are, and be limited by their circumstances.
But you have a passion; and the desire and talent to go with it. You are a “can do” person who believes in creating your own opportunities. My passion is to help dreamers like you who are hungry and have a “yes – I can” attitude reach success as singers and performers. I’m a dream-weaver who will work with you to translate your raw talent into professional skill, and then guide you through the steps to get further down the road on your journey.
I love to work with people who are absolutely committed to the process of succeeding. If you want it badly enough, I will help you get there.
Look around the site. In addition to private coaching, I also offer Learn-At-Home Lesson CDs to supplement my teaching, as well as links to important resources for finding sheet music, karaoke-style music CD's with a full band sound (minus vocals) and links to auditions, competitions and other sites to further your career.
Come for a lesson. Tell me what your dream is. Then let’s get started.
