Speaking Voice Lessons in Cowpens. Amazing Teachers.

Do you talk in front of large groups? Do you speak on the phone for long periods and need to be as effective as you can without hurting the voice. Let's work on that.

I understand that sometimes people have a hard time speaking in front of others, but really want to improve. Whether it be, because you aren't speaking clearly enough, aren't projecting enough or need to get over your jitters, let's see what we can do. We can work on monologues or look at what event you're preparing for. Even if it is a speech for school or for an event at work. Both Acting and Singing have helped me with these issues. Working in front of someone that knows what to listen for and can help you to tweak what you've been doing might be the best solution.

Speech lessons are beneficial for many reasons. Perhaps you are getting ready for an interview, or your voice is frequently hoarse, maybe you desire your voice to sound different or perhaps you are a voice over artist looking to add a dialect or wanting to work on inflections. Speaking voice lessons give techniques on how to properly use the voice in a healthy way on a daily basis. If you are interested in the anatomy of the voice, I am more than happy to teach you that as well.

Emphasis on breath control with opportunities for recording your voice.

Welcome! As a singer and actress, I am very excited to share my passion for the performing arts. Public speaking involves the whole body: breathing, the vocal folds and the way we form words. Learn how to speak clearly and boldly, so that everyone will understand and connect to what you are saying. We will begin with a monologue of your choosing. If you need help finding one, I have some to start with! We will work on breathing, enunciation, projection at first, then move on to emotions and background for your character. The best performances reach their audience because when you feel it, they will feel it!
I have a bachelors in singing and have taught music and drama for over six years. If you need help preparing for an audition, you’ve come tot he right place! I have helped countless students prepare for auditions at the school where I previously taught. Or if you just want to increase your acting skills, coaching with me will be fun and effective!

Learn good breath control and resonance to strengthen your speaking voice using vocal warm-ups, posture and speaking exercises.
We will look at your speaking voice in terms of pitch, timbre, volume, pacing, register and prosody. Using a talk that you are practicing, readings or improvising real life situations, you will have lots of practice.
I recommend adults take from 45 minutes to 1 hour lessons weekly for skill building. The price of lessons DECREASES by 10% after each 5 lesson purchased for the first 15 lessons.
