Voice/Breathing/Speech Lessons
by Paul Kroeger 22 Aug '24

22 Aug '24

Paul Kroeger continues to offer voice and breathing lessons to advanced singers as well as to those less-advanced. The old saying: " If you don't breathe, you don't sing" can be understood at, say, a casual level, but there is a much deeper meaning to that, too. And it applies to speech mode as well. If you are still running out of air during certain phrases, come and see me. If you are beginning to run short of air because you are getting older or THINK that is why, come and see me. If you are still not able to get ALL of your breath during the "Catch" breath, come and see me. Most of us are holding our breath MOST of the time and think we aren't; that also reduces your range. You lose your high notes first, you know! Most of what limits us is due to what we don't know about breathing. Give me a chance to help you make improvements. Respond to this email or call me at 216-741-4762 and leave a message. Former students: try me; I no longer teach the way I once did.

20 Aug '24

"The Velocity of Autumn"by Eric Cobleat Makeshift Theatre Directed by Sarah ParrSaturdays and SundaysAugust 24, 25 31 and September 1 @2pmStaged Reading THE STORY: THE VELOCITY OF AUTUMN swirls around Alexandra, an 80-year-old artist in a showdown with her family over where she’ll spend her remaining years. In Alexandra’s corner are her wit, her volcanic passion, and the fact that she’s barricaded herself in her Brooklyn brownstone with enough Molotov cocktails to take out the block. But her children have their own secret weapon: estranged son Chris, who returns after 20 years, crawls through Alexandra’s second-floor window and becomes the family’s unlikely mediator. No sooner are the words “Hi, Mom” uttered than the emotional bombs start detonating. THE VELOCITY OF AUTUMN is a wickedly funny and wonderfully touching discovery of the fragility and ferocity of life. Makeshift Theatre833 Carroll Street Akron All Tickets are $5.
