Develop a powerful show: Improv acting class
As a voice teacher & performance coach, I help you explore the accurate communication of emotions that enhance the ability of relating a story to an audience. We'll explore character development along with delving into how the voice integrates physical responses to external stimuli. Working with acting skills can help us understand our relationship to others and our world in a different light. It's an excellent way to continue professional development in any field, as the ability to role-play helps you work with communication skills in a risk-free environment.
Professional presentation delivery: Using tailored specific improv acting exercises to improve presentation delivery in the workplace.
Improv acting helps you:
* Think on your feet
* Gain perspective on human behavior
* Deepen character development [current show or production]
* Roll with the changes in plot as dialogue changes
* Practice clear communication (perspicuity)
* Work with gestural communication & physical attributes

(99)
My specialty as a professional voice teacher is Contemporary Commercial Music [CCM] covering Pop, Country, Hip/Hop, Folk, Rock, R&B, Soul, Gospel, EDM and others. My background in choral singing and bel canto vocal training allows me to assist singers who perform diverse musical genres with authenticity. Additionally, I am cross-trained in dance, yoga, Tai Chi, commercial & improvisational acting.
EXPERIENCE: 27 years voice teaching; 12 years living & working in Los Angeles; a lifetime of performing on-stage; BACKGROUND: 12 years of private vocal studies with master teachers of bel canto & contemporary singing techniques.
I work with all levels of singers, from those who never want to be on stage to those who need healthy vocal techniques to support recording & touring.
To my teachers: I am forever grateful for your gifts of knowledge, skill, grace and compassion.

Arlys is a wonderful singing teacher for all levels. I'm a beginner with a super big fear of singing in public and Arlys makes me feel comfortable and had me singing on my first lesson without a panic attack. She brings so much scientific knowledge to her craft for a full mind, body, heart connection to finding your voice.

First lesson went great, Arlys has a lot of experience outside the classroom spanning decades in several genres. She was perceptive to my goals, style, range and potential. It's been a decade since I've played professionally and it was such a breath of fresh air to find a teacher whose been through the mud and understands practical, applicable skills for the stage. I'm excited to see where this goes and can't wait until my lesson next week. First impression - hands down 5/5
