I’m here to help you claim your birthright of authentic, unapologetic expression
I’m here to help you reach deep inside, shed cultural and systemic narratives of how we use our voices (or not use them at all) and get #vocal.
I’ve spent over 20 years as a Private and Group Voice Coach and Creative Entrepreneur in The Voice and Communication Biz.
I have helped thousands of professional and award-winning performers, entrepreneurs, public speakers and actors build the voices of their dreams and claim their authentic truth.
AND all along, I've been doing this work myself - navigating my own hard won journey towards vocal warrior-ship.
All that?
It’s taught me a thing or two about harnessing embodied confidence and sharing authentic expression.
Gather ‘round for this story -- this gets good.
This became my community, my people, my safe-to-be-whoever-I-wanted crowd.
Suddenly, within this group I had a voice and I USED it. And, not just to belt it as Mable in Pirates of Penzance or sing “Saving All My Love For You” by Whitney Houston at my 1989 talent show.
I felt embodied. I felt safe being me. I felt powerful.
Music and the community I’d gained through it was my zone! And, naturally, it became my life’s work.
In my early 20’s after music college, I began giving voice lessons in my parents’ basement. Just me, my rad Casio Keyboard, and my clients. I made $50 a week and was hooked on the feeling of getting paid for my passion.
*PS:
I still get royalty checks from a ‘Radio Free Roscoe’ episode that features my original music (where my Canadian teen drama fans at?)
Over decades of working with artists, my voice coaching business grew, my skills increased, my clients embraced their voices and found success and realized their dreams.
I coached them in technical skills and taught them how to release nervous system patterns contributing to stage fright.
Through work with the voice and the body they were able to truly unlock the voice they always had hiding beneath the narratives that kept them from stepping fully into their power.
But--now don’t get me wrong here--I knew deep in my heart that I was meant to do more than just teach people to sing Taylor Swift covers (and I LOVE me some Tay Tay).
They used their voice and set boundaries between themselves and the people and things that didn’t align with their true selves.
They were able to speak up when something felt wrong or didn’t invite a full-bodied “YAAAAHS!”
They began to have MORE confidence in their day-to-day lives and conversations.
