So You Think You Can Sing - Voice Lessons for Broadway Bound Performers (11-18)

This is a private class primarily structured for learners who are interested in the growth mindset and habits of professional performing artists and who are curious about what it's like to pursue a career on Broadway.  This is also a class for learners who simply love to sing and who are willing to challenge themselves, make mistakes, troubleshoot difficulties, and build connections.  No prior experience is necessary, but a desire to sing a variety of songs and a willingness to learn and grow is ideal for a commitment to weekly ongoing lessons.  If you are not sure if this class is right for you, please consider enrolling in a one-time class or consultation prior to enrolling in a subscription:

In this class, both student and I will choose songs.  We will learn various singing styles (music theatre, pop, rock, country, jazz, classical/legit) and build a standard Broadway audition book.  We will also develop the speaking voice and practice auditioning and performing skills.  Sometimes I will provide the sheet music or learners will need to purchase sheet music from Musicnotes (~$6.00).  Throughout the ongoing classes, students will learn:

(1) growth mindsets of professional performers and storytellers; 
(2) pitches and rhythms of a variety of audition cuts of pop/rock and musical theatre songs; 
(3) singing tips to build performance confidence; 
(4) easy ways to connect with themselves and with an audience; 
(5) introduction to self-taping for auditions; 
(6) the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA); 
(7) voice and speech tips to prepare for "slates" and "sides"; and 
(8) easy movements to be an expressive performer.  

Practical troubleshooting will be the main driving force behind this class.  As a coach, I often meditate on the following questions:  (1) How do we make sounds and communicate with speech and song?  (2) How do we convert 2D symbols (text) into a 3D body (performer) and create a 4D emotional experience (audience)?  (3) How do we use these skills to live more freely, intentionally, and expressively?  I hope to instill a beginner's appreciation for and a desire to start answering these questions.  As I continually train to be a useful coach, I hope the learners of this class will continually learn to be useful artists.
