SLAM! YOUR WAY TOWARD YOUR AUTHENTIC VOICE

SLAM! THE DOOR ON NEGATIVITY, ANXIETY AND SELF-JUDGMENT

GET UP ON THE STAGE AND SLAM! (SING LIKE A MOTHERF*CKER!)

It’s here!

After years of conducting workshops at home, in universities and on the road
SLAM One-On-One Vocal Therapy Sessions are finally available online.

Conducting group workshops is great fun, but after each workshop is over, there’s always the question of whether everyone got exactly what they needed.

We all process things differently and some singers need one-on-one sessions. They need personal time to ask questions and discuss topics specific to their individual vocal issues. They require talk sessions tailored to their unique musical circumstances and backgrounds so as to sing more fully in their own voice.

SLAM! One-On-One Vocal Therapy Sessions can help you do just that.

You may select your own topic or choose from these 23 topics:

Loving the Truth of Your Voice
Criticizing The Birds
Stage Etiquette
Are You Nervous?
Restoring Emotion to Music
Finding Your Muse – And Engaging It
Conduct an Effective Rehearsal
Flawed Artists – And Their Art
Why Should Anyone Pay Their Hard-Earned Money To Hear YOU Sing?
Ricochet Your “Flaws” Into Musical Bliss
Sexism Among Musicians
Are You Singing the Song? The Story of the Song? or the Story Behind The Song?
Your Voice’s Story
Sing Like a Motherf*cker
What’s Missing In The Standards?
Undressing Onstage
Avoiding Common Singer Pitfalls
Get Rid of the Music You’ve Planned – Sing the Music That Is Waiting For You!
Form vs. Feeling
Improvisation
Get In Bed With The Song
The Importance of Silence
Bringing Your “Kitchen” To The Stage

Signing up for it is as simple as 1-2-3!

1. Decide the number of sessions you want
2. Select the topics you want to cover
3. Schedule the sessions.

Sign up before November 1, 2012 and receive a 10% rebate.
