Top Singing & Voice Lessons in Bruce, SD

The human voice is a delicate, sensitive instrument. I can teach you better ways to use yours. I can help with proper posture, breathing, maintenance, warm-ups and more! I can help you get a great performance consistently, and help you maintain your voice.

Hello Singers in the making!
This class will help you improve, or learn, proper singing techniques; which will help you create your own beautiful, unique sound.
We will base the curriculum off of what your current level is.
- Your music is FREE, you will never need to purchase any sheet music when you are my student. I will make sure to get you a PDF of any music we work on.
- You will gain knowledge of the vocal anatomy; to use your instrument you must know how it works. So many people try to sing and they think they are bad singers, or believe they cannot sing. The fact is, you cannot sing properly unless you understand the structure of the anatomy that creates your sound. (To sing without knowing how your vocal folds, resonators, and lungs work would be like getting in a car and never being told what any of the gears do. It would be like baking without being told the ingredients.) You cannot "wing it", you have to know "how" in order to create a beautiful sound.

I have been teaching voice for 10 years and use classical vocal techniques as the foundation for all singing training and styles (such as pop, jazz, and musical theatre, etc). The goal is, by focusing on proper breath support, ear training, and the exploration of your own voice, to produce a HEALTHY, rich, vibrant sound that will sustain you through a long, rewarding career.

I love to sing, and so should you! In our singing lessons, I like to make the lesson specific to your individual needs and goals. We start with warm ups, focus on different techniques and styles, breathing/breath control, song choice, performance, and more!

Orla is a wholistic, therapeutic, and compassionate Vocal Coach using her lifetime of professional vocal performance experience to
1. help students find their authentic, unique voice
2. develop healthy habits to melt away all discomfort and truly unlock their vocal power
3. release all fear of letting their voice be heard.
In this classroom, singing is a right.

Orla's Philosophy:
We tend to believe that singing exists for the enjoyment (or judgement) of everyone else around us. But truly, the first priority of singing is to connect with and nurture our relationship with ourselves.

I have been teaching this subject for over 10 years. I have a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree in Vocal Performance and a minor in Vocal Pedagogy. My students can expect vocal technique through warmups, appropriate repertoire selection, language guidance, and an integration of singing and acting (performance skill) appropriate for auditions. We will work on consistency of resonance, intonation, breath, and interpretation.
