One On One Coaching
Sometimes a private coaching session is the best way to work on the vocal, performance and career issues that we face as singers.
We can meet at my Queen Street studio in Toronto or work over the internet for private sessions.
Best to start with an e mail. Let me know the challenges you are experiencing & lets see if a one on one session is the best way to support your growth.
Drop a line at micahbarnes@sympatico.ca anytime!

A Few Things to Consider When Booking A Private Session
The following questions would be worth asking yourself before booking a one on one session.
Voice Production: Do you have a solid command of the mechanics of singing? Do you understand breathing and resonance? Do you need to build range, tone and flexibility? What kind of warm up are you using and are you getting the best results?
All of these things are essential to good vocal health in a vocalists long term career.
Physical Relaxation: Are you physically centered and relaxed when you work or are you straining, pushing and tensing while you are singing? How do you approach the act of singing? Full of anxiety or full of joy and freedom? We can set you up with exercises that will remind you to use a relaxed approach while singing.
Stage Craft: Are you making a relationship with the audience? How can you develop a stronger way of reaching and holding an audience? What are your fears in performance and how are they holding you back? Does Stage Fright stop you from taking on new opportunities to perform?
Career Strategy: Is your career where you want it to be? What are the challenges facing you at this time? What are your dreams and what exactly are you doing to get yourself there? Do you know how to build a team that is right for you? We can build a step by step strategy for you to follow and get you moving on your path!
Material Selection: Are the songs you are performing right for you? Are you working in the correct keys for your voice? Are you connected to the material and able to get deep inside of the emotional world of the song? Does your song selection liberate the "real you" in your singing?
Material Development: Are you a songwriter who is looking to create your own material? What are the skills you presently bring to your song writing collaborations? What skill set do you need to deepen to be a better collaborator? We can have a look and listen to what you have developed so far.
Cost: $120 for one session or $400 for 4 sessions if paid in advance. If in Ontario please add HST.
