- What types of customers have you worked with?
At Sophie Shear Vocal Studios we coach to a variety of needs, from individual men and women to studio coaching while recording an album or tour preparation to prevent fatigue. We've got you covered no matter your need. Women - Can commercial tone and a powerful, natural sound be found through training? Absolutely. Sophie teaches women of all skill levels to find their "chest" voice. That's considered a dangerous word, but fortunately, there are exercises that work quickly to make a SAFE transition between the chest and head voice. Men - Men, say hello to a higher, easier range, with less tension, NO vocal break, and the recognition to prove it! Studio Coaching - If you were an athlete, you wouldn't dream of competing without a good warm-up. But singers often charge onto the stage with no preparation. Sophie's warm-up routines WORK, no matter the circumstances. Tour Prep - We also provide in-studio coaching. That's just what it sounds like: we accompany you to your recording session, providing on-the-spot advice, as well as any vocal quick-fixes, emergencies, on-site questions or demonstrations, etc.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Most singers spend years trying to belt out just one more note, and when they hear another singer going into the stratosphere, they assume that the singer was "born" with that ability. Many of our clients quote their college voice teachers as saying that range can't be extended, and within the same hour, these same clients "find" notes they've never hit before.
