Vocal Coaching for Adult and Pro Singers

My availability will be visible when you select the type of session you'd like to book. If you're somewhere on the planet other than North America, and you find the times available inconvenient, please contact me. If I can accommodate you, I will. All sessions are held through the Zoom app. You must have a computer or tablet with a working camera and microphone. If you have never used Zoom, know that it is free and effective. I'll provide instructions for how to install and use it.

What's your goal? What kind of learner are you? The number of lessons people need to reach their goals varies. ​ NeuroVocal Method is remarkably fast and effective if used regularly and as instructed. After an introduction session you will get a recommendation from me. That recommendation will be for what I think will benefit you the most: single sessions, a package, or another voice professional (my referrals are only to the best people!).

You sure can! My drop-in rate is $150 per hour. Scheduling a single, drop-in session means you get: * my magical-genius vocal-coaching brain, just for you, for an hour. * a video recording of our session together * cancelling privileges up to 24 hours prior to our meeting (keep your confirmation email!) If you want to schedule a single session, use this button!

THIS DESCRIBES TYPICAL SESSIONS. The first 5-10 minutes (depending on your need) are for talking. In that time you can share anything that's going on with your voice, or anything in your life that might affect your voice. The rest of the lesson is about 2/3 vocal development and exercises and 1/3 singing of songs. But that depends on the student. If, for instance, you're rehearsing and singing with a band, more time will be spent on vocal exercises to get you the skills you need. If you don't get to sing much during the week we'll spend more time singing. ​ Accompaniment: Because our lessons are online, accompaniment must happen on your side of the computer screen. Ideally you will have a separate device for playing your backing tracks (e.g., your smartphone). There are a number of excellent resources for providing backing tracks for songs. I will help you with that.

After teaching for more than 30 years, I've arrived at only two policies that really make a difference to the quality of our appointments, and the quality of our relationship: > 24 hour cancellation policy: you will be charged in full for any lesson not canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours ahead. You will get reminders prior to your lesson. > Don’t Show Up Hungry policy: students should have eaten something within 2-3 hours prior to their session time.

These terms are a little loosey-goosey. Here is the Meredith Colby answer to that question. This may be more than you want, but I can't help myself! 😊 Voice lessons are conducted by teachers who are teaching you how to sing. This assumes that "how to sing" means "how to sing for a particular styles or genre." Historically, this way of thinking has been applied to acoustic styles of singing like Western classical (opera). It can also be applied to other kinds of singing that require really specific outcomes, such as an ethnic or historic style (e.g., Hawai'ian chanting or Baroque singing). Vocal coaching assumes that you know how to sing, you know what styles you like to sing, and you'd like to make some changes to that singing. The outcomes the coach and client are working toward are determined by the client based on their goals or desires. Clients of vocal coaches may be working on: fundamentals such as pitch-matching or singing a melody. confidence in singing skills. improving certain singing skills, such as learning to control a "voice crack." preparing for a project, such as an audition or a recording project. improving their overall singing skills to match how they want to sing. improving their vocal stamina to get through long - or many - performances. addressing specific vocal health or voice function issues

I've helped adults of all skill levels - from those who think they "can't sing" to working, professional singers. Teenagers require special consideration due to the fact that their voices are still growing and changing. There is a lot that can be done to improve their singing and increase their confidence while respecting their growing voices. I'm happy to work with teenagers ages 16+ who genuinely want to improve, and are prepared to engage with the process.

I believe in transparency, and know that your financial investment is part of your decision process. For those reasons I list my prices on my site. Package prices vary. Prices and discounts are displayed under each package description. Payments are accepted through the scheduling app via credit or debit card. If you would like to use an alternative form of payment for post-package lessons, let me know. If you do not live in the US and the exchange rate makes the fee prohibitive, please reach out to me directly. I create a lot of content for singers and voice professionals. You can learn a lot from me for free! My youtube channel, my facebook page, and my website have scads of videos and written content to help you learn. As a student, you'll also get a free copy of my book, MONEY NOTES: How to Sing High, Loud, Healthy, and Forever. You'll get a lot of free me with that as well. 😊

Yup. All lessons are online. It's super convenient and easy! I work with singers and voice teachers from all over the world. When you schedule your session you will see my available studio times. If your time zone makes these times prohibitive, please reach out to me directly. If I can accommodate you, I will.
