My Training and Network

From 2008-2013, I studied Speech Level Singing™ (SLS) technique. SLS is used by Pop/Rock/R&B superstars, American Idol winners, leads of Wicked and many Broadway shows/films, MET opera singers, and over 120 Grammy winners. From 2011-2013, I studied directly with Seth Riggs (founder of the SLS technique and teacher to many of the names listed below), as well as other master teachers who have taught the following people/groups:

Singers/Bands who have studied SLS technique include:
Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Kelly Clarkson, Maroon 5, The Killers,
Rihanna, Bernadette Peters, Annie Lennox, Josh Groban, Barbara Streisand,
Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, Julie Andrews, Ray Charles, Better Midler,
Earth Wind & Fire, Toto, Prince; the list goes on…

Musical Theatre productions SLS teachers consult for:
Broadway: Wicked, Legally Blonde, In the Heights, Les Misérables,
Miss Saigon, Hairspray.
First National Tours: Rent, Momma Mia!
Vegas: We Will Rock You, Phantom of the Opera, Starlight Express

Why have so many pros studied SLS technique?
Pop, rock and Broadway pros have used SLS for decades because it works. It helps singers improve their range and tone, with no breaks or strain, more reliably and logically than any other method I’ve encountered.

What other voice training do you have?
I regularly attend voice conferences and study current journals on vocal science and health. I take regular voice lessons: locally with Spencer Welch; over skype with Jeffrey Skouson (The Killers, numerous Broadway leads); and with others I consider to be master teachers all over North America. I am also connected to a network of ENTs, voice scientists, and speech language pathologists.
