I teach free, easy, natural VOICE, first. Literature and style is added afterward. Legitimate voice is the basis for all singing, for safety's sake. Contemporary Commercial Music should be added on top of the best principles in singing to protect the voice from damage during "extreme" singing. I was a yoga teacher and dancer in addition to actor, so present a body-based and energetics style of learning. Visit my website to contact me.
