Kate's Voice

Voice lessons: Your gateway to authenticity

The rules are changing. Today we have to be smarter than ever about marketing ourselves, and managing our involvement with our audience, even our fans.  Yes, it’s true, on some level it is all about us.   In my vocal studio, it is all about you:  your voice and how it supports your life and your work.  If we take you on as a client, you will see results.  We guarantee it.  In fact, we rely on your success and personal referrals to keep our business healthy and strong.

Our services include:

• Vocal Repair: For many professionals, vocal use is almost non-stop.  For these people, vocal fatigue is not just a possibility, it’s a reality.  However, with the proper exercise, guidance, and awareness, most people with vocal fatigue will find their voices invigorated and more powerful than ever.   Vocal repair is scheduled on an individual basis.

• Vocal Image and Power: Ten sessions that include evaluation, and exercises you can use to help you create a powerful, healthy voice.  Learn to project using resonance, not sheer muscle; support your voice with your breath; create a voice that reflects the image you want to give others.

• Alignment of Intention, Content and Delivery Choices: Your vocal image is important to your success, but for greatest impact, your vocal image must align with what you are saying and why you are saying it.  If these three areas don’t align, you may not have the impact you seek as a speaker or presenter.  We evaluate your vocal choices and create a program to take advantage of your strengths, while improving your skills. Length of program varies.

• Bringing Down the Fourth Wall:  making it real for you and your audience. People want to hear from real people.  They want to hear real stories.  Through a series of workshops for small groups, we help presenters get beyond the facts and create personal stories they can use, as well as a unique presentation style that aligns with their

• And, of course, you can study Vocal Technique for Singing, too. We provide training for all styles with a focus on speech level, resonance, proper breathing, stamina, and selection and performance of appropriate repertoire.  In addition, we will help artists create a career plan, including marketing and fund-raising. Individual lessons and group workshops are available.

*Discretion is important to many of our clients so we never teach and tell. You won’t see me post real names or a list of famous clients. What you will see is how your voice can better serve you in your life and work.  Real people, real progress, real quick.  Well…if you do your part.
