I am very strong on vocal technique. I carve voices and create artists with their own unique sound that will sell in the music industry. No-nonsense.

Using material that interests them and moving ahead in a way that encourages and rewards their effort gives them a true sense of accomplishment and heightens their enjoyment of the lessons and their own improved ability.
