I have recently revamped my Vocal Assessments within my updated website. I came up with the idea for them years ago because people were constantly writing me with questions about their voice, who could not get to me privately for singing lessons. I created Vocal Assessments to offer a structured way for me to give you real feedback on your own voice from anywhere in the world.
The simple idea is you send me a recording to listen to or watch via a link (to click, or an email attachment) with your questions. Then I personally reply with a constructive critique of your singing voice within 5-7 business days.
What is great about this is that you can get an opinion from a professional without ever having to walk into a studio, and you can do it from anywhere in the world. Whether you are a first time singer, a working singer looking for a second opinion, or somewhere in between.
For me, I am thrilled every time I click on a new voice for a Vocal Assessment. I always spend a lot of time and effort giving my best, honest, constructive critique in a positive kind manner.
I know a lot of people may be unsure about what exactly a Vocal Assessment from me would look like, so I built a page on my site that has example passages of Assessments from past Vocal Assessments I have written for people.
Here is the link:
* Any song or portion of a song
* With music, a cappella, whatever you choose
* Audio recordings are great, however video allows for a full performance assessment
* If you normally sing with a guitar, piano, in a band, etc. you can send a recording in your “natural element” so I can evaluate your voice in the context of a performance
* Recordings do not need to be professional, just use your smartphone to take a video or voice recording!
* Review of 1 voice or video recording (1 song, or portion of song)
* First Impression: A constructive critique of where you are vocally
* Everything in Level 1, plus
* Review of 1 additional voice or video recordings (2 songs, or portion of songs)
* Feedback on up to 5 questions you send regarding your voice
* Advice – specific to your voice – on areas to focus on that will help you improve vocally*
*This can include what to work on, what type of music to sing, performance recommendations, etc
* Everything in Level 2, plus
* 15 min. phone consultation to discuss any specific area of focus or concern regarding your singing
* Everything in Level 3
* Includes a 1 hour Skype consultation to provide one-on-one advice and guidance regarding any areas of interest or concern regarding your singing
* Review of 1 voice or video recording of your child
* Feedback on up to 5 questions you send regarding your child's voice
* 15 min. phone consultation regarding your child’s singing or training
I hope this brings a bit more light on what my Vocal Assessments are. I am look forward to hearing more of your voices over time.
Sing well!
