How To Warm Up Your Voice In Less Than 10 min. (For When You’re In A Hurry!)
We’ve all been there — rushing to a gig, belting out our songs in the car to try to warm up before hand… Unfortunately, there’s never enough time, you don’t have access to a piano, and it’s hard to focus on your singing!

Community: What Every Developing Artist Needs to Thrive

With each new weekend event, webinar, or workshop, we continue to build a community of like-minded artists that envision a future filled with collaboration and support.
