Private Coaching — Long Beach, CA
Private voice and acting coaching for musical theatre performers at every level. Work with a coach who's been in the room with the people who write the shows — and knows how to get you ready for yours.
Why This Coaching Is Different
A beautiful voice is only half the job. Musical theatre demands that you tell a story, connect to lyric, shape a phrase with purpose, and make every moment feel genuinely alive — all while hitting the notes, staying in rhythm, and making it look effortless.
Most technical voice training treats singing and acting as separate disciplines. They're not. I've spent my career — as a writer, a Music Director, and a coach — understanding exactly how they work together. My lessons reflect that.
I describe myself as the auto mechanic of the voice: I can hear with unusual precision what needs to shift for better resonance, vibrato, placement, and freedom — and I can apply that diagnosis directly to real material, not abstract exercises.
Who This Is For
What We Work On
Pitch, breath coordination, resonance, vibrato, tone, placement, and range — addressed at the source, not the symptom. You'll leave every session with changes you can actually hear and feel.
Every lyric has a specific intention. We make them yours — connecting objective, emotional stakes, and physical behavior so your songs stop feeling generalized and start genuinely landing.
Song selection, audition cuts, presentation choices, and material shaping — tailored to show casting directors exactly who you are and why you're the one they should call back.
Refine repertoire for live performance with stronger storytelling, better pacing, and the confidence that comes from knowing your material is as good as it can be before you step onstage.
Develop your own material with guidance on vocal delivery, performance choices, and how to communicate your artistic voice clearly. With my background in songwriting, I speak both languages.
As an OCSA alumnus and former faculty member with deep connections to top college theatre programs, OCSA and college audition prep is one of my specialties. I know what these programs look for.
The Approach
I can quickly identify the technical adjustments that will make the biggest difference in pitch, breath coordination, resonance, vibrato, placement, and overall vocal freedom — often in the first session.
Acting choices that fight the voice are extremely common. I help you find the ones that strengthen it — where your intention, lyric specificity, and physical life all work together, not against each other.
This is not endless abstract warmup work. Every concept gets applied directly to songs, auditions, performances, and the material that actually matters to your goals.
With a Berklee M.F.A. in Musical Theatre Writing, training in songwriting and music production, and original musicals in development, I understand how the music itself supports emotion, structure, and dramatic impact.
I'm direct, encouraging, and serious about your improvement. The goal is not to make you feel good in the lesson. The goal is to make you better — and to make that improvement audible and real.
