What can I expect from a music theater coaching?

• First I will ensure that you are singing the best song for you for the occasion. If it's an audition cut, I will verify that it's a good one and that it works. I will give you honest feedback about vocal issues or reasons why this song might not work for you. I will help you act your song. This may include using tools such as a pre-beat, stakes, tactics, and subtext. I will assist you in polishing your material until it is performance ready. I can provide tracks for practice and recording.

I need serious help with my vocal technique. Can you fix it?

• No. I am not a voice teacher. I do have vocal training and I will bring to your attention areas that need vocal work. I will also help you with general vocal issues such as tension and relaxation. If you have serious vocal problems I will refer you to a voice teacher.

Can you help me build a better audition book?

• Absolutely. I am the Queen of audition books.
