Ongoing Singing Performance

“This process will tap into your conviction, passion and enthusiasm to develop your ability to access your authentic voice and share your unique sound with others. It will increase your ability to connect and move people from your core—holding nothing back. The growth and transformation possible in this class is greatly enhanced by the presence and encouragement given and received by fellow students. As they witness your process and take similar risks with you each week you are supported by honest, positive feedback and inspired to even greater risks.

Whether you’re a seasoned performer or are daring to sing in front of others for the first time, I invite you to join this professional & supportive class to unearth new levels of your talent, new expanses of your sound and new layers of your Self through song.”

Ongoing Classes are weekly intensives that will facilitate you in discovering & empowering your unique voice using the craft tools of acting, the techniques of voice & movement, and the breath/movement/sound practices of yoga.

Each class begins with a group warm up designed to support risk taking and to facilitate Tuning-In to your authentic voice on all levels: physical, mental, emotional & creative/spirit. This warm up is followed by individual work sessions.

Class size is limited — every student works individually every week. Class is supported by a piano accompanist. Current accompanists include: Dan Gaynor, Reece Marshburn and NYC based Tim Ribner.
