Vocal Performance Class

“Matlin Idol”

“Performance singing is easy and fun…if someone shows you how. There are tips, tricks and shortcuts that can be employed to bring out your best work. If you want to sing formally, train with a classical opera singer. But if you want to entertain the masses, learning to sing and perform from the gut is fundamental.”
