How can I help you?
I'm guessing that whatever style of singing you prefer, you probably want a powerful, beautiful, ballsy, belter, ‘Rock/Blues’ sound at your disposal to knock people off their feet with when necessary; and a powerful, warm, rich, dynamic vocal delivery that moves everyone the rest of the time.
And of course, when you’re that good, you’ll have quite a lot of confidence.
And you probably want a highly effective, knowledgeable and experienced coach who is not at all stuffy about what you want to achieve, and who understands and sympathizes with how extremely over sensitive, self conscious and self critical most singers are about their voices.
I specialize in modern contemporary vocal training, customized to bring out the absolute best in the unique identity that is your voice. You will learn the vocal techniques used by great singers that will give your voice personality, originality and expressiveness, and make those techniques your own.
The method you will learn is fun, efficient, extremely effective, very easy to understand and apply straight away, completely protects your voice from injury, and covers all the bases. I focus on making your vocal sound totally impressive, in an ‘untrained’ sort of way.
I provide very gentle, very specific encouragement. I work on the songs YOU want to sing, and I DON'T do the boring, endless, unnecessary scales, and inefficient or downright harmful warm-ups with which other teachers seem to like to waste your time and money.
You will easily learn how to control the various important dimensions of your voice including:
Power
Range
Resonance
Color
Depth
Edge
Strength
Brightness and cut-through
Consistency
Phrasing
Break negotiation and smoothing
Eliminating bad habits from everyday speech
Culturally appropriate pronunciation
Projection
Warmth
Correct and Natural Vibrato
Voice health
“Frying” without vocal damage
Natural internal style
Picking the right key
Microphone technique and correct equalization
Style
and
Charisma!
The fact is, you do NOT need any special talent to make your voice strong, easy, stylish, impressive, and 'Street Natural'. You need skillful, coordinated technique.
As long as you can hold a tune (which 96 % of humans can do), you can learn to sound impressively ‘street natural’ and keep your voice healthy, easy, flexible and strong all your life.
And you get to choose ALL the songs yourself. I hate telling people what to sing, and I’m not into cramping your style either. My job is to make sound MORE like you, not less.
As you are learning the techniques we will coach your delivery on your chosen songs so that you sound powerful, warm, unique and stylish. Then we will polish your stage presence so that you project confidence, individual style and charisma.
Although I specialize in the area of contemporary ‘street natural’ modern vocal delivery, I have extensive experience with all styles of vocal training.
I am conveniently located right by El Cerrito Plaza BART and charge $49 per hour session (with monthly discount).
Just bring a list of the songs you think are right for you, or that you want to challenge yourself with, a fresh notepad, and we can get going.
Call me 510. 776. 8166 right now (Due to text scammers, Calls only, please) and we can get started right away.
Sing power, edge, warmth and style!
