VOCAL LESSONS TO PREPARE FOR STUDIO LEADS:
I have developed a nationally recognized, trademarked method of vocal training called “Power, Path & Performance”. This method is proven best in practical application for studio and stage performance. I highly recommend taking vocal lessons after the tracking is done, and before the lead vocals are scheduled.
