If you have ever received a vocal critique like “Sounds good to me” or “It sounds just like the last 10 times you sang it - try something different” you recognize the need for better instruction. However, most lesson-formatted instruction is completely boring!

IF YOU HATE RUNNING OVER SCALES AND SINGING VOWELS this kind of lesson is for you!

We use microphone and recording techniques IN THE VOCAL BOOTH to show WHY all of this is important, and how top recording artists (several of whom Chris has worked with) use breathing, scales and vowels to make hit records. Students walk away motivated  and eager to master the fundamentals.

Take a step up on your next vocal project! The difference is remarkable. We help you sing higher, louder and more convincingly. Past clients have added 3 to 4 notes on each end of their range, seen higher Billboard Chart counts, garnered more substantial major label attention (signed and unsigned) and more recognizable awards. EVERY client has taken a huge step in their career after working for just a few weeks.

Lessons and coaching go hand-in-hand with excellence. When singers step up to the microphone either in a live setting or in a recording studio, excellence shows.

Artful expression of music requires many things of a person, but sometimes the “magic” of a moment is missing. Pulling that “little extra” emotion out of a singer is a delicate business.

It takes skill to stretch a person past their comfort zone while keeping them involved and excited about their session. Pull too much and the vibe of the session becomes dark - pull too little and the musician goes home knowing they could have done better.
