Expect targeted ear training (interval recognition, solfege, call‑and‑response) plus practical tools—a piano/drone/tuner—to lock in pitch quickly. We’ll shape vowels for clarity, smooth out register shifts so notes don’t “flip,” and dial in tone color from bright and edgy to warm and round. You’ll get drills for sustaining notes, managing vibrato so it’s expressive (not wobbly), and blending in harmonies. The result: consistent intonation, cleaner phrasing, and a tone you can control in any style.

We build a resilient, healthy voice from the ground up—breath management with true diaphragmatic support, posture and alignment that reduce neck/jaw tension, and resonance strategies that let you project without forcing. You’ll learn how to keep the larynx free, release tongue/soft‑palate stiffness, and use semi‑occluded exercises (straw phonation, lip trills) to coordinate breath and sound safely. We’ll map your break (passaggio), practice sustainable belting and mix, and set a warm‑up/cool‑down routine so you can sing longer with less fatigue—perfect for auditions, choir, or gigging around Santa Clarita.

We expand range safely with progressive, science‑based routines—sirens, slides, and SOVT exercises that strengthen the edges of your range without strain. You’ll learn to bridge chest, mix, and head voice, choose keys that set you up for success, and track weekly goals so gains are steady and measurable. Over time, high notes feel easier, low notes gain resonance, and your “money notes” become repeatable on stage and in the studio.

Technique unlocks expression; style makes it yours. We’ll translate technique into pop riffs and runs, musical theatre diction and storytelling, classical legato and breath lines, or jazz phrasing and timing—whatever fits your goals. You’ll learn lyric analysis, dynamics (crescendo/decrescendo), articulation choices (legato vs. staccato), and tasteful ornamentation so your performances feel authentic and memorable. We also coach audition cuts (16–32 bars), key choices, and transitions so you enter with confidence and finish strong.

On stage or in a rehearsal room, small details matter. You’ll master mic distance and angles to control volume and avoid pops/sibilance, use proximity effect for warmth, and work with wedges or in‑ears. We’ll cover posture and movement that read well under lights, how to connect with an audience, cue an accompanist or band, and manage nerves with simple pre‑performance routines. We’ll even outline basic performance etiquette—from soundcheck to curtain call—so you look and sound like a pro.
