Vocal Coaching
I work collaboratively with the actor and director to help create the needed sound and vocal quality for each production that I work on. As a vocal coach, I can assist actors with creating a healthy sound, and techniques to keep their voices “in shape” for a demanding production. I am experienced in classical texts as well as new works, and I am comfortable with a wide range of dialects and accents. My past projects as a vocal coach are listed below. Recent off-campus projects of note include Hell: Paradise Found and Alcestis Ascending both performed in New York City. I have coached numerous productions at the University of Alabama since I joined the faculty in 2006. Highlights from this past academic year include The River, The Importance of Being Earnest, and The Servant of Two Masters, and I continue to vocal coach with Alabama Public Radio.
