If you need assistance preparing for a recital, audition or performance then voice coaching is for you! Before diving into prep material, our first few lessons together will focus reviewing/establishing proper breath support: proper diaphragm breathing, equal distribution of breath (breath control), resonation.

Using specific exercises to maintain proper tonal quality and establish healthy sounds, our next set of lessons will be dedicated to applying these techniques to your song material. Taking it in “bite-sized chunks”, we will use melodies from your song, break it down into smaller measures, temporarily turning the melodies into technical exercises. Coaching in this way provides context, while reinforcing proper muscle memory, forward positioning using the “mask”, and familiarization with your piece. During these lessons, we will start to break down the storytelling element of the song: personal connection to the story; emphasizing certain lyrics for dramatic and imaginative effect; strong beginning/middle/end arc.

Our final few lessons in this package will be geared toward practicing, living and breathing your material. I will not only provide you with tools to set strong practice goals, I will also provide constructive feedback as you practice performing your material. We will focus on the nitty gritty clean-up work: continued technique, storytelling and connectivity, enunciation, mapping out breathing points. Repetition is your friend, so be prepared!
