Our main points of focus in lessons:
I. Vocal Technique
We will focus on the basic elements of vocal technique and training and learn how to properly use your instrument in a healthy way.
II. Performance
I will work on acting and performance techniques with you; we will work on telling a story and expressing emotion through song.
III. Building an Audition Book
I will help you find audition songs that suit your voice and who you are as a performer.
You will have access to my personal music library and copies of any songs you choose.
I will help you build a book you can confidently take into any audition that reflects who you are.
I will help you cut your music to 16 and 32-bar cuts and mark them appropriately for any audition accompanist to read easily.
IV. Recording Rehearsal Tracks
You will take home recordings of all vocal warm ups and exercises so you can practice throughout the week.
I will make recordings of all songs so that you have rehearsal tracks with the melody or performance tracks with accompaniment only.
V. Professional Audition Preparation
Once we build an audition book, find appropriate material, and work on technique, I will help you as much as needed leading up to your audition(s) to give you as much confidence as possible.
We will do callback preparation as needed to review songs, harmonies, and even scene work.
VI. College or Post-Grad Audition Preparation
College auditions are unique from show auditions and I have helped many students gain acceptance into the school of their dreams. We will work together to find you the perfect material and make sure you are completely prepared before your big day.
VII. Professional Accompanist
If an audition or competition requires you to bring your own accompanist, I am available for hire.
