by Paul Kroeger 17 Jan '21

17 Jan '21

*From:* Paul Kroeger <letgo2sing(a)gnail.com> *Subject:* : Voice lessons: coaching, technique, tune-ups during pandemic time Get more out of your singing. Learn (or review) how to sing with your whole body, not just with your voice or your emotions. Is your throat relaxed? Are you supporting it with your diaphragm? Are you confused about it? I will work on your technique with you online --from the comfort of your own space. We can deal with a lot this way; you'll be surprised. Speakers, presenters, voiceover artists: Want a stronger voice with more carrying power? Singers: How about your high notes? are they gone? Do you want them back? Do you need stronger low notes? Perhaps you can produce them so they are more reliable. Do you get hoarse easily? every day? I can help you get over it. You can do a lot about your voice while you aren't performing. Call me for a lesson time and rates.
