COACHING FORMATS
- Private Lessons
- Recording: Pre-production for recording and throughout Recording of Vocals
- On-Location Coaching (Film/TV/Performance Coaching)
- Workshops & Classes
Each session is highly tuned with what my client is seeking or needing to find in their own voice. Some sessions develop the vocal instrument and work out technical problems through exercises and scales. At other times, artistic expression is targeted by directly working on the singer's repertoire. We also work on removing emotional and psychological blocks to expression.
In private sessions, I coach many singers who are recording artists. But I also teach gospel and church choirs, singer-songwriters trying to improve or find their own style and beginning singers. My students are all ages, including teenagers.
Additionally, I work in conjunction with speech pathologists and ENTs with their patients who need voice therapy after or before voice surgery, to help heal their voices. For those who are experiencing vocal abuse, fatigue and voice loss, I offer preventative singing therapy.
