Professional vocal training
For working actors, auditioning performers and pre-college singers. Private online coaching across the U.S. and internationally, with in-person sessions by appointment in Southern California.
The Embodied Vocal Training approach
Musical theatre asks the voice to switch styles, sustain eight shows a week and tell a story at the same time. Instead of mechanical repetition, we work with the causes of tension and build a kinesthetic sense of each coordination, so you can find it again under pressure and correct yourself without a coach in the room.
A bright, speech-like belt that lives in the body rather than the throat, and a mix that carries you through the passaggio without a break or a push. We build it through sensation and coordination, so it holds up in the eighth show of the week, not only in the practice room.
Golden-age legit, Sondheim's rhythmic precision, pop-rock scores and contemporary storytelling each ask something different of registration, vowel shape and onset. You learn to change style deliberately, using technique rather than imitation of a cast recording.
Objective, obstacle and shift mapped onto the score, so breath, phrasing and lyric serve the character. Technique becomes the support for the story instead of something you think about on stage.
Clean 16- and 32-bar cuts, contrasting material that shows your range and type, and a binder that is ready for whatever the breakdown asks for.

FAQ
Yes. Belting is a coordination, not a matter of force. We work on breath management, vocal tract shape and laryngeal freedom step by step, so the sound grows in strength while the throat stays free. If anything feels effortful, we change the approach rather than push through it.
Yes — and I say this from long experience, because online coaching is where my studio lives. I was among the very first voice teachers to move my work online back in 2015, and in the years since I have refined my entire method of diagnosing and building voices through the screen. My online class has grown to the point where my students and I feel each other as if we were in the same studio: I hear and see breath, posture and alignment on camera, and we record exercises and accompaniment for your daily practice.
Yes. We select material for your voice type, age range and the roles you are targeting, then shape 16- and 32-bar cuts that start strong and show your best singing in the time you have.
Yes, with committed young singers preparing for school productions, youth theatre or college programs. Work with younger voices respects their stage of development and never forces range or volume.
