| That
really depends on your specific
needs. Obviously, consistency
is important, especially in the
beginning. Once-a-week is the
"norm," but some clients
come in more often when important
auditions come up, or they need
to prepare for a callback. As
you begin to prepare your audition
music, it's important to realize
that going to a coach is not like
buying a pair of shoes - you don't
necessarily walk out with a song
"ready to go." Coaching
is a process that involves not
only choosing the right material,
but also arranging, transposing
the music, as well as working
on the performance, both vocally
and physically. How many songs
you need varies with the situation;
obviously you wouldn't sing the
same song to audition for Showboat
as you would for Grease. So you
should have several songs in different
styles ready. Learning a song
the night before is never a good
idea, since you won't be totally
comfortable with it. Auditioning
involves many pressures that are
not under your control. It's important
not to add the additional pressure
of learning a song at the last
minute. |

| My
students run the gamut from Broadway
professionals to people who just
like to sing. I feel it is not
my job to judge your goals as
much as it is to help you fulfill
them. I try to help you become
the best you can be, and achieve
all you are capable of. |

| A
minimum of 24 hours is required
for cancellations, or the time
reserved must be paid for. |

| As
you might imagine, answering a
phone call in the middle of a
vocal coaching session can be
pretty disruptive. So your calls
will often be answered by a digital
answering machine. I will do my
best to call you back as soon
as I can.The very best time to reach me directly are mornings before 9 AM. I am almost
always in the studio, and I'll
be glad to make appointments,
answer questions, or give advice. |
|
|
| It's
a good idea to bring some sheet
music you are currently singing,
including songs you've done in
previous auditions. I need to
get an idea of where you've been
to help me determine where you
need to go. Also, a decent-quality
blank cassette so we can record
new song ideas and piano accompaniments.
Your resume might also be helpful.
If you don't have any previous
experience, don't worry about
it -- just bring yourself and
a tape. I'll supply the rest! |

|
| Payment
is expected at each session. Cash
or major credit cards are fine;
I no longer accept checks. As
stated above, a minimum of 24
hours is required for cancellations,
or the time reserved must be paid
for. |
|
|
| Referrals
are the best way to find a reputable
professional. Or you could get
in touch with the music/vocal
department of a nearby college
or university. Someone on
their faculty probably teaches
privately, or could refer you
to someone who does. |
