"I began teaching SLS in 2008 simply because the technique dramatically improved my voice.  My singing voice became stronger and more balanced through lessons and I was able to gig night after night effortlessly. I love working with singers, improving their voice and also their confidence as performers. I am very passionate about teaching and I have still not worked with a student who has not found Speech Level Singing effectual."
