Singers and Singer/Songwriters, it’s a new age, and we’re continuing our work to enhance your skills as performers, online.
Daria and Lua coach professional and semi-professional singers in Performance Skills ranging from technique tricks to the singing storyteller’s relationship with the lyrics and the audience.
Our goal for each participant is to help you feel confident on stage and on camera, connect to your audience effectively and become more expressive in your performance. Let’s take it to the next level!
The class will be held via Zoom. Singers please have backup tracks or you may self-accompany. One good resource for this is iRealPro,
Requirements include: Good internet connection, web camera and sound. An external mic and external camera are recommended, though not mandatory.
We have other resources to help you set up your sound and video, but if you want hands-on help with this and you are a Mac user, feel free to contact Jason Martineau to book a tech prep session that will likely be less than an hour.
A Zoom link and details will be sent to students prior to the first session, and students will be asked to send lyrics ahead of time by email.
The Sunday workshop is open to adults and teens and we also have a Saturday class for TEENS from 1:00-2:30 pm
Contact Daria with any questions.
