 As a vocal consultant and coach, my main goal is to help a singer  achieve authenticity in both style and vocal technique. If you think about the  great artists of all time, the one thing that they all have in common is  authenticity. They sound like no one else. Their style is like no one else's. Their ability to communicate the emotions they feel is undeniable; and after  you’ve heard them sing a song, it’s hard to imagine anyone else singing that  song. These are lofty goals, but I am convinced that moving in this direction  will always lead a singer on a path toward being the best that they can be.

I use all the training and experience I’ve accumulated over the past  twenty five years to guide vocalists on their path to success. I am a  classically trained vocalist myself; and although I choose not to sing in the  classical style, the technical training I received during my years of study has  proven to be extremely valuable in maximizing my range, flexibility, and  accuracy. By adapting the exercises that I use in my own vocal maintenance and  continued development, I customize a practice and warm-up routine for each  singer that is designed to make the most of their unique God-given talent. I  also work with singers on their microphone technique for both live and studio  performance. When it comes to developing a singer’s style, I feel that it is  purely a matter of discovery. As a singer, you absolutely have to know who you  are, what you want to say, and how you want to say it. Once a vocalist can  answer those tough questions and combine those answers with solid vocal  technique, confidence will translate directly into a style and a believability  that you can hear, see, and feel every time they deliver a song. They are  authentic.
