Improving how you sing
by Paul Kroeger 20 Jun '25

20 Jun '25

Paul Kroeger <letgo2sing(a)gmail.com> to neohiopal 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. Add reaction ReplyForward Add reaction

“Disaster! at Blank Canvas Theatre Has Some Hot Stuff It might be plagued by catastrophes, but ‘Disaster!’ is a success.” Gwendolyn Kochur (Scene Magazine)<https://www.clevescene.com/arts/review-disaster-at-blank-canvas-theatre-has…> Blank Canvas Theatre Presents DISASTER! A 70’s Disaster Movie Musical By Seth Rudetsky & Jack Plotnick Concept Created by Seth Rudetsky & Drew Geraci Additional Material by Drew Geraci June 20 - 28 Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays at 8:00pm Sundays at 7:00pm It's 1979, and New York's hottest A-listers are lining up for the opening of a floating casino and discotheque. Also attending is a faded disco star, a sexy nightclub singer with her eleven-year-old twins, a disaster expert, a feminist reporter, an older couple with a secret, a pair of young guys who are looking for ladies, an untrustworthy businessman and a nun with a gambling addiction. What begins as a night of boogie fever quickly changes to panic as the ship succumbs to multiple disasters, such as earthquakes, tidal waves and infernos. As the night turns into day, everyone struggles to survive and, quite possibly, repair the love that they've lost... or at least escape the killer rats. Disaster! is a new musical straight from Broadway, featuring some of the most unforgettable songs of the '70s. "Knock on Wood," "Hooked on a Feeling," "Sky High," "I Am Woman" and "Hot Stuff" are just a few of the scintillating hits in this hilarious musical comedy with a book by three-time Emmy Award nominee and SiriusXM Broadway host, Seth Rudetsky, and Jack Plotnick.
