Singing

 

Traditional and contemporary methods are used to help singers develop the natural voice and develop a unique and individual sound and style. Particular attention is paid to issues relating to breath management, free voice production, resonant tone quality and muscular support.

 

Singers refine technique by way of vocal exercises and voice-building song material. Students receive detailed instruction and learn why exercises are valuable and what results may be expected.

 

Speaking Voice

 

Students include celebrities, working voice-over talents, pageant winners and contestants, corporate and public speakers and individuals who want to improve their voices for personal reasons.

For more detailed speaking voice and presentation training, please visit ShanksforSpeaking.

Piano 

Students learn from prescribed graded lesson books. Technique, theory, and performance. 

Singers taking the combined voice and piano lesson learn how to read and play song material from the printed page.

 

Guest Speaker

I guest speak for clubs and organizations, radio, TV and Internet talk shows.
