Theater Acting with Zeffin Quinn H.

🎶 If you want to... 1) Build a vocal technique that will not fail you 2) Have piece of mind that the SOUND you want to come out of your mouth WILL come out 3) Know that you are using your own 100% authentic sound ...then you have found the right teacher! 🎥 🎶🎙 LESSON DETAILS 🎥 🎶🎙 Most teachers "vocalize" or "warm you up" for 5 or 10 minutes and then the lesson is spent just singing songs with no real emphasis on how to execute awe-inspiring and healthy singing. Working with me is a truly distinctive experience, much like a workout with a trainer (Don't laugh because I'm a little overweight!). We will spend the hour working on very physical and concrete exercises to build a comprehensive technique that will support you through any genre of singing. At the end of each lesson, usually about 15 minutes, we can work on your chosen repertoire. Utilizing both vocalise and song literature of your choosing, we will go through very pragmatic and utilitarian methods that will generate an easy, free and uniquely individual sound. 🎥 🎶🎙 STUDIO EQUIPMENT 🎥 🎶🎙 Main teaching studio is 14'x14' 800 sq ft recital & class space Microphones Sound System with: iPhone/iPod dock Standard 3.5mm input jack for other phones/players "Old School" cassette tape recording Full Library of Classical, Musical Theatre, Pop Music 🎥 🎶🎙 SPECIALTIES 🎥 🎶🎙 ✓ I have served as a vocal consultant on many professional recording sessions ✓ I have nearly 20 years experience working in all genres - POP/Rock, Opera, and Musical Theatre.
