Do you feel like you know your music, but something changes when you step on stage? My coaching focuses on helping you get out of your head and make stronger, more specific choices in performance. I use an action-based approach drawn from acting technique and my research into how singers can use the score as a tool for dramatic interpretation. Rather than telling you to simply “feel” the music or try to become more emotional, we work with clear objectives, action verbs, physical choices, text, breath, and musical phrasing to give you something concrete to do in performance. We might work on: - Making a song or aria more dramatically specific - Finding playable actions and objectives in the text - Connecting physicality and movement to the music - Getting out of your head and reducing performance anxiety - Breaking down a character, scene, or monologue - Making musical and dramatic choices feel more natural and spontaneous - Preparing for auditions, recitals, competitions, or performances I work with singers and other musicians at different levels, and I tailor each session to what you are currently working on. You can bring a song, aria, monologue, audition material, or a performance problem you want to work through. My goal is not to give you a formula for performing. It is to give you practical tools that help you make your own choices and feel more free on stage.
