VOCAL COACHING
Alisha B believes that everyone can sing. Singing is an intimate skill that requires patience, discipline and proper practice. It is essentially all about training our vocal cords, developing muscle memory & improving our stamina in the best way suited to one’s voice.

“I have always told all my students that the vocal coaching process is like preparing a delicious lasagna; there are layers and layers of different ingredients that work together to create a strong foundation and base so your voice can continue to develop and grow. It requires time and dedication. No one can sing like Beyonce overnight.
As your vocal coach, I am going to be your voice’s personal trainer to ensure you are given the correct techniques and can develop healthy vocal habits for a strong voice offering longevity and effectiveness.”

-
Phrasing, Projection & Placement - many vocal enthusiasts tend to neglect or are unaware of the importance of the 3 Ps - Phrasing is understanding how you dramatically can change the mood of the song or music with your breathing pockets allowing a sense of storytelling and performance. Additionally, it is important to understand how placement of vowels and projection can have an overall effect in the diction, pronunciation, enunciation and other speech tools that help us sound clean & clear when singing.
WHO can take your vocal class?
Absolutely anyone! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced singer, Alisha B’s vocal coaching programs are open to all levels, backgrounds, genders and ages 5 and up.

Experienced Singers:
Since singing requires a variety of skills, Alisha B goes through the 4 basic fundamental techniques with new students; breath control, pitch, articulation and identifying your vocal range and understanding how to expand it.
​
We also learn techniques on how to use different vocal registers and tone (chest, head, falsetto, nasal) and replacing poor, ineffective and unhealthy vocal habits in order to avoid vocal strain and encourage longevity for a strong, growing and powerful voice over time.
As a professional recording artist and performer, Alisha B shares more insider knowledge, in depth experience and technical instruction for singers looking to go the extra mile. She helps students develop their voices using advanced vocal techniques to enhance their singing ability to be used for their professional or personal portfolios, skill set and repertoire.
Alisha can assist you in improving & polishing your current singing skills and techniques for on stage-live performances. She can also help prepare you for studio recording sessions.
HOW are vocal classes structured?
Each class begins with a warm up using vocal exercises to help ease tension and relax the voice. A section of the warm up will also include vocal exercises that help improve and challenge areas where the voice isn’t as aware, experienced or confident.
This can include exercises to expand your vocal range, understanding how to transition from chest to head voice smoothly etc.
Alisha B adapts and customizes lesson plans based on the student’s ability, progress and goals.
As she familiarizes herself with a student’s voice, she focuses on enhancing their strengths and developing areas of improvement.
​
After, techniques explored are applied using a song of the student’s choice or guidance can be offered on song selection.
The song is then analyzed section by section to understand all vocal elements & techniques needed.
​
Students will also be advised and coached on how to deliver, perform and enhance their voice when singing outside class time. This allows their voices to be groomed and polished correctly and to establish stage presence, confidence and effortlessness when singing and performing.
