Singing

Each lesson has a basic outline where we branch off based on each student’s needs.
Breath and Support-The foundation of singing. We will go through exercises to improve breath control and support.

Vocal Exercises-We work on pitch accuracy, vocal flexibility, style placement and specially tailored exercises to fit your needs.
Repertoire-Together we pick songs that fit your voice type and vocal style. Then we coach technique, song interpretation, acting and performance techniques to get you ready for your next time on stage.

Acting

Each lesson has a basic outline where we branch off based on each student’s needs.
Breath and Speech-Vocal production is the basis of stage acting. Actors must be heard and we work to improve breath control and support.
Body Work- Acting is not just from the chin up. Acting is through the whole body. Using yoga training, we find the actors connection with the body.
Monologues and Scenes- Together we pick monologues and scenes and coach technique, interpretation and presence.
Film- If the student is interested in film, we practice filming scenes on camera and working on sides.
