Acting Through Song
Carina specializes in musical theatre, and the art of storytelling through song. Once a singer has a solid grasp of the physical fundamentals of safe and effective vocal production, Carina helps to shape each song into a polished, nuanced, musical story. Emphasis is placed on strong and specific acting intentions, eloquent musical phrasing, layered character choices, "pulling on the words," effective vowel modification, and character appropriate vocal delivery. Acting Through Song coaching sessions are available for intermediate to advanced singers.
Vocal Lessons for Beginning Singers
Vocal lessons for beginning singers emphasize the development of strong breath support, proper vocal placement, crisp diction, pitch matching skills, and rhythmic accuracy. Once the singer has a strong grasp of these fundamental skills, the focus expands to include instruction on effective phrasing, acting intentions, musical nuance, and storytelling through song, because, after all, that’s what musical theatre is all about! Lessons are available for kids as well as adults.
Acting Coaching
Acting is all about reacting honestly to imaginary circumstances. If you believe in the truth of the moment, your audience will, too! Private acting lessons emphasize organic communication, freeing the voice and body, "inside out" moment-to-moment connection, emotional honesty, script analysis, and performance technique.
