Vocal Coaching

Darryl’s coaching style strips the audition back to basics.

An experienced voice teacher, performer and actor with over 40 years professional experience, Darryl asks what do you need to do to have a successful 15 minute entertainment audition? What aspects of your personality do you need to polish to make a great impression and which should you leave outside? How do you build stamina for a 45 minute cabaret performance or concert?

How can you be the best you?

Too often young performers spend their college days working strictly on Musical Theatre repertoire and find that they are ill equipped to compete in the professional realm which requires more up to date vocal technique and phrasing.  As a theatre singer with deep roots in gospel and R&B traditions, Darryl can not only work on style, but also think about pop singing in terms of healthful singing.  “It’s no use giving a killer pop audition for a theatre show if you can’t replicate that performance 8 times a week.”  Darryl will show you how.

For less experienced singers, particularly actors or dancers who may have fear around the vocal audition, Darryl will work on basics of breath control, phrasing and intonation as well as help select the audition cuts that are right for you.

For more experienced singers who may want to broaden their stylistic repertoire, Darryl will work on an authentic pop sound.  “It’s easy to copy a famous singer’s interpretation, the challenge lies in putting that song on your own voice.”

On line coaching – Darryl is now offering private coaching sessions, either in person or on line via Skype.  These are aimed at singers of all levels and start with a complimentary 15-minute evaluation session.  Darryl will discuss with you what your goals are as well as hear some singing to plan an individulaized course of study. Students need a quiet space and a reliable wi-fi connection.  Darryl runs strength building exercises from his keyboard and students rehearse their individual song choices from accompaniment recordings to achieve the optimal coaching experience.  

Rates are available on request.

Darryl’s system can elevate the individual to a higher frequency thus manifesting a future that is more suitable for creativity and positive living.
