ONGOING Registration for 2024/2025...

Rick has worked online with students as far away as Berlin, Vancouver, New York & Toronto... In studio lessons/coaching bring students from all over southwestern Ontario...

Singing & Acting - Lessons & Coaching

Studio LESSONS run from September through June and are weekly/bi-weekly for either 30, 45 or 60 minutes.  COACHING is available year 'round. Students can begin any time throughout the year, based on space availability - ALL AGES. Consistency is the key to successful singing/acting/strong vocal skills. The sessions are jam packed with information and are presented in a practical and fun way. My approach is based on strong technique geared toward performance. The process is very important to the end product. I also coach singers and actors for auditions and performance, commercial & narration voice over techniques and work with people who are looking to improve their public speaking voices.

I recommend beginning with 30 minute sessions unless you have extensive training/experience or are looking for coaching. The first Lesson  for new students is always 30 minutes and is intended as a meet, greet and assessment...please bring a song/monologue that you feel best shows off your skills and is fun for you to perform...

What I offer... In Studio* & Online

- 30, 45 or 60 minutes sessions

- Singing Lessons - strong, healthy vocal technique and performance skills.

- Acting Lessons - working on creating character, making strong choices, exploring the skills of the actor.

- Song & Monologue Coaching - performance techniques based on developing strong story-telling skills.

- Vocal work for public speaking - confidence building, tricks for successful presentations.

- Voice-over training - confidence building, tricks for successful narrative, commercial, documentary, etc...

- Two Master Classes (Covid dependent) where the students have the opportunity to perform their songs/monologues in front of the studio students, Rick and a collaborative pianist for feedback. This is an excellent way to deepen the connection to the work and to strengthen the level of performance.

- Two Studio Performances (Covid dependent) in the form of Cabaret/Showcase/Recital each year where all students are encouraged to perform. Invited guests include family and friends.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Throughout the year, I've often times where professional performance/theatre/concerts will cause me to have to cancel or reschedule lessons.
I will always give as much notice as possible.
