Vocal Assessment

A Vocal Assessment gives you the opportunity to learn exactly where your voice is currently and what keeps you from singing your best.  When we do not sing to our full ability the main culprit is a lack of balance between the 7-individual components needed for singing. 

 

I listen to and observe exactly what you are doing, strengths and weaknesses, for an honest and realistic view on where your voice is now.  I help you see the possibilities and limitations of your voice.

 

Often we fear what we cannot do rather then focus on what we can.  We struggle with the same blocks over and over and over.  The Vocal Assessment will pinpoint "what" your problem areas are and "where" they are taking place.  You will learn exactly what needs to be done to eliminate these issues and will outline what needs focus in order to reach your goals.

 

When people ask me what they should do first when learning how to sing I always suggest a Vocal Assessment.  If you have no idea where your voice is currently you will be going forward blindly with any kind of voice training.  The Vocal Assessment will help put you on the right path.

 

Your voice is 25% of what is given to you and 75% of how you develop it.  Every voice can be greatly improved for either singing or speaking, with the proper direction.

 

The session is informative and best of all it's fun!

Vocal Training CD

 

The “Creating the Sound in You…………” vocal training CD is a great tool to further develop your voice and keep you on track between classes.

 

Included on the CD are warm-up exercises, a track to help you determine your specific vocal range, techniques to expand range, increase power and stamina, and improve your ability to blend chest and head voice.  Provided are piano tracks that are free from background instruction allowing you to use whatever track you prefer with whatever exercise you choose.  You will also learn how to identify problem areas, such as singing out of your natural range, hit high notes easily, sing with warmth and character by adding vibrato, and much more……
