I gave a Power, Path & Performance vocal seminar to a drama group at “Center Stage” theater in El Paso, Texas this last weekend. Judging by the sound of their voices at the end of the seminar, and the after-seminar comments, it was a smashing success!
Some of the comments from attendees:
“She (Judy) was amazing. In a matter of 10 minutes she helped me more than any voice teacher ever has… and she totally understands how we feel!”
-Conner Myers, son of Center Stage owner and director Stacy Myers
“I always knew about breathing but you actually showed us how to do everything properly instead of just expecting us to know from seeing a picture. You are an amazing teacher.”
-Courtney Curtis
“Your methods of singing put less stress on our throats. You put everything in a way I can understand. You make everything easier for me to do. I learned a million new things.”
-Camille De Los Santos
“My current vocal coach has been causing several problems and she hasn’t addressed several problems that were worrying me. The seminar really helped me with musical theater.”
-Laura Parton
“I was really nervous but you helped me to feel confident with my voice. I’m a new singer but you treated me like a regular. I had a really good time and I sincerely appreciate it. Thanks!”
-Shelbie Ponder
“It was an amazing experience, I learned so much and was able to sing an end of a song I was never able to. I had so much fun and now that I learned so many new techniques and how to use my voice the right way, I’m not straining myself. Thank you so much!”
-Beverly Landcaster
“I learned a lot and you were faaaantastic! Thank you! – Rebecka Mott
“Thank you so much! You are amazing! – Patrick Zavala
Seminars are a different learning opportunity, unique in the fact that you get to watch others as they try on techniques. My seminars are whole-day affairs:
- Two hours teaching about how the voice works
- Two hours teaching vocal exercises that create correct muscle memory
- Two hours of attendees performing in front of the group, assessed and corrected by me and singing with the new changes
If you or your organization would be interested in discussing booking a seminar that can significantly increase the vocal ability of all present, please contact me for scheduling.
… and many thanks to Danny and Brenda Bishaw for booking this El Paso seminar.
