Voice, Acting or Musical Theatre LessonsAges 10 - AdultLearn to express yourself as a singer, actor or both your choice! All sessions are private one -on-one lessons. Voice lessons focus on the basics of in-tune signing, posture, breathing and confidence-building performance skills. Acting lessons focus on freeing the voice and body to create believable characters. Musical Theatre lessons focus on both acting and singing skills together.
