Training

Every artist enters the studio with a different background, set of goals, and way of learning. Whether you are developing your voice, preparing for an important audition, or maintaining your instrument through a professional career, our work will be shaped around your individual needs.

Singing Lessons

Build a healthy, reliable technique that allows you to sing with greater freedom, confidence, and expression.

Lessons may focus on breath coordination, resonance, range, registration, flexibility, stamina, musicality, and the connection between vocal technique and storytelling. Together, we will identify habits that may be limiting your voice and develop practical tools you can use independently.

I work with emerging singers, dancers developing their voices, college-bound performers, and experienced professionals. No previous formal training is required.

Singing lessons can help you:

• Develop a strong technical foundation

• Sing with greater ease, range, and consistency

• Improve breath coordination and vocal stamina

• Navigate transitions throughout the voice

• Explore musical-theatre, classical, and contemporary repertoire

• Communicate more fully through song

• Maintain vocal health during rehearsals and performances

Voice for the Actor

Your speaking voice is one of your most personal and important tools as an actor. This work helps you develop a voice that is healthy, responsive, and fully connected to the text.

Sessions may explore breath, resonance, articulation, vocal clarity, physical freedom, and the relationship between voice and emotional life. The goal is not to impose a particular sound, but to release unnecessary tension and help your natural voice respond more freely to the demands of a character and performance space.

Voice for the Actor can help you:

• Speak with greater clarity, ease, and presence

• Develop breath support for sustained text

• Release physical and vocal tension

• Strengthen resonance without forcing

• Connect language to thought, emotion, and intention

• Meet the vocal demands of stage and screen

• Build consistency while preserving spontaneity

College and Conservatory Preparation

The college audition process can feel overwhelming. I help students approach it with a clear plan, thoughtful preparation, and material that reflects who they are as artists.

Our work may include vocal technique, song and monologue selection, interpretation, prescreen preparation, audition strategy, and interview guidance. I also help students understand what programs may be looking for while encouraging them to present their most authentic work.

College preparation may include:

• Choosing appropriate songs and monologues

• Strengthening vocal and acting technique

• Interpreting songs and connecting to the text

• Preparing prescreen material

• Organizing audition requirements and repertoire

• Practicing interviews and common audition-room questions

• Developing confidence for in-person and virtual auditions

Whenever possible, I recommend beginning early enough to allow the student’s technique and material to develop without unnecessary pressure.

Prescreen Filming

In addition to preparing your material, I can help you film your college or conservatory prescreens. This optional service allows us to carry the work from coaching into the recording session, helping you feel comfortable, focused, and confident on camera.

Prescreen filming is available for an additional fee. Please inquire about scheduling and rates.

Audition Preparation

Whether you are preparing a song, monologue, scene, self-tape, callback, or final audition, focused coaching can help you approach the opportunity with greater clarity and confidence.

We will examine the material, identify the circumstances and stakes, make specific acting choices, and ensure that your technical preparation supports the story you want to tell. For musical auditions, we can also address vocal challenges, interpretation, song cuts, and communication with the accompanist.

Audition coaching may include:

• Song interpretation and vocal preparation

• Monologue and scene coaching

• Self-tape preparation

• Callback and final-audition coaching

• Selecting and refining audition material

• Creating effective song cuts

• Exploring character, circumstances, and objectives

• Building confidence while remaining flexible and responsive

The goal is not to manufacture a “correct” performance. It is to help you arrive prepared, grounded, and ready to share your individual point of view.

Self-Tape Filming

After coaching your song, monologue, or scene, we can also film your self-tape. Coaching and recording in the same session can help you remain connected to the work and capture a confident, well-prepared performance.

Self-tape filming is available for an additional fee. Please inquire about scheduling and rates.

Recording Session Preparation and Studio Support

Preparing to record an album, demo, cast recording, voice-over, or jingle? I can help you enter the studio feeling vocally prepared, artistically connected, and ready to make the most of your recording time.

Before the session, we will work through your material, address any vocal or interpretive challenges, and develop a clear approach to each selection. On the day of the recording, I can warm you up and personally guide you through the session—offering support, feedback, and an experienced outside ear while helping you remain confident and connected to the work.

My own recording experience includes a solo album, cast recordings, demos, voice-over work, jingles, and a wide range of studio projects. I understand that recording requires a different kind of focus than live performance, and I can help you navigate that process with greater ease.

Support may include:

• Preparing and interpreting recording material

• Addressing vocal and technical challenges

• Planning phrasing, dynamics, and stylistic choices

• Warming up before the session

• Maintaining vocal stamina throughout the recording

• Providing feedback between takes

• Communicating with the engineer, producer, or musical team

• Helping you capture a performance that feels both polished and authentic

Because every recording project is different, preparation and in-studio support are priced according to the length and needs of the session.
