Vocal Coachings

I’ve had some actor and singer friends ask me lately about vocal coaching.

Yes! I do coachings. I have a great little set up at my studio apartment in uptown Manhattan. We can also meet at any of the studios in midtown – no problem – but if you come visit me, I have:

Over 900 PDF scores to help you fill your book. We can dig through and print out anything you need.

17 days worth of cast recordings. According to iTunes, I have nearly 8,000 musical theatre recordings. Maybe there’s something in there that you need? (Or want?)

A full, weighted keyboard, a guitar, a harmonica, a shaker, spoons, knives, forks… We’ll have plenty of gear to make some noise with.

Recording equipment. If you want to record anything for demos or your website or anything, we can do that! There’s a little bird next door that sometimes squeaks too much (so you might have to record in the kitchen), but I can definitely help you with basic recording.

Piano accompaniment recordings. In the same way, I can make your piano accompaniment recordings for you to practice to.

Transpositions & transcriptions. You probably don’t want to sit around and watch me do this – but send me the music you need fixed and I’ll do it. Then come up for a coaching and I’ll help you learn it. I use Finale 2010 for notation and in the end you get a nice, clean PDF of your score. Transpositions and transcriptions start at $35 and go up depending on complexity and length.

I charge $60/hr for coachings at my place, or $60/hr + the studio fee for coachings at other studios. My apartment is a block from the 190 stop of the A train, and 3 blocks from the 191 stop of the 1 train. Email me and I’ll send you the address.

There’s also a great little Dominican restaurant/bar in my building, Fort Tryon Park and the Cloisters nearby, and I’ve got a sweet record player I’m dying to show somebody.
