I teach anyone from 5 - 105. There is always room to grow matter your age. Never stop being curious.

Phone interview or 30 minute lesson will help us determine if the match and timing are right for you or your child.

To be coached is to come in with a specific short term goal, like an audition, or interview, or show. To be taught is to commit to a course of study, setting goals, and challenging ourselves to champion our way to the next level. Whatever that means for you.

Yes. There is definitely a craft to the audition process, just as you develop your craft as an actor and/or singer. I will provide you with a step by step guide on preparing and executing your auditions, thru call backs on into rehearsals. So that regardless how the role gets cast, you feel successful and secure knowing that you did everything you wanted in the room.

YES! I teach basic piano and how to read music. I will teach you or your child how to speak in an audition to a Musical Director on how to play your song the way you have rehearsed it, so you can take charge and feel confident and prepared.

Yes! You will be given a binder that we will fill with music for practice and at the same time put your audition book together with music that is just right for you. Your music will be prepared in the right key with appropriate cuts and arrangements. To ensure your most competitive edge in your auditions and performances.

The primary goal of private lessons is to develop technique for a healthy, long-lasting instrument. But you or your child should be prepared for so much more. We’ll work on vocal and physical exercises to establish coordination of muscles (whether relaxed or anchored) needed for healthy singing. We will explore breathwork and understand how it works so it can bring you better health and expand your vocal capacity.

Being in a Private Lesson enables you or your child to have a completely individualized experience.

One on one work creates growth well beyond the voice. There is the safety of working intimately with me so we can uncover all your gifts that singin can unleash. You’ll then learn to integrate the techniques I will teach you into songs that are age appropriate and enjoyable to sing. If you have requirements for school or for auditions, we’ll work on that material technically and create characters with full lives.

Group lessons are a great way to build an ensemble which is essential in any area of life. Thru Games, Improv, Scenework and Songs You will explore Movement, Breath work, learn a Vocal warm up just for you. Each semester your child will build a performance with the entire class that will be Showcased at the end. Learn to work with a musical director, communicating exactly what you need to get an optimum result in the audition or interview room.

How do I become a working actor?

A Belt is a kind of vocal quality. A call or shout on pitch. This quality of sound is derived from powerful, intensified speech. I would direct you toward discovering an urgency in your story that would propel an intention for your sound to ring through the rafters, called a belt. A voice quality you can maintain at a Friday night Football game, the Courtroom or on stage 8 shows a week singing Broadway, Pop, Rock, Opera, Country and Jazz! All sound qualities, one technique.

I teach belting techniques in conjunction with freeing and developing The Natural Voice (Kristen Linklater) of all the registers(including head voice). I also include lessons from Arthur Lessac as taught to me by Barry Kur at Penn State University. And of course my most most influential mentor and friend, Joan Lader. Joan taught me the value of Jo Estills work. Jo Estill teaches that with the vocal techniques taught voice students can sing any genre of music. Broadway, Opera, Pop, Jazz, Country, Rock.

A healthy voice is a healthy voice. The techniques you will learn as a singer will serve you anyway you want to be persuasive with your voice.I teach the whole voice, not just “Belting”. The most 'belty' musical theatre, rock and pop singers work the entire instrument as a way of maintaining the proper vocal health, and the ability to sustain an 8 show week, rehearsals all while still looking ahead at the next gig.

I teach Bel Cantos how to find their inner Aretha Franklin.

Yes! I do one on one consulting with families on how to get into the business. Each plan will be unique to your specific needs.
