Through careful vocal exercises and posture observation, I guide you to access breath and body awareness, which results in a more consistent, satisfying and individual vocal tone.

WORKING WITH DEBORAH

The gift of song is one we should never take for granted. Singing is an ancient and organic form of communication. It allows us to express what is in our hearts: the good, the bad, and the out of tune! As the yogis remind us, “Breath is Life.” Regardless of your experience with professional or social singing, we can help you reach your vocal goals.

The Mechanics of the Voice:

• Singing is a direct line to the cardiovascular system, an aerobic workout aligned with our lungs, heart, diaphragm and circulatory system.
• The voice is a strong muscular instrument regulated by the oxygen we breathe, which promotes the release of endorphins in our brains.
• Endorphins are associated with stress reduction, well-being and a sense of physical satisfaction.

  • Hydration
