NOT YOUR TYPICAL BUT FUN CLASSES TO TAKE
THE SECOND CLASS THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT IS BOTH FUN
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, GOOD FOR THE SOUL IS VOICE CLASSES BY KATHY DEITCH. I
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS ONE ON ONE CLASS. THE COST IS $55.00 FOR AN HOUR LESSON. THE BEST PART OF THE CLASS IS YOU CAN TAKE A
LESSON IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME!
I MET KATHY AFTER WATCHING HER IN ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MUSICALS
I HAVE EVER SEEN, “SILENCE! The musical”, A TAKE OFF ON THE FILM “SILENCE OF
THE LAMBS”. I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY
CHAIR LAUGHING AT THEATRE WATCHING THIS PRODUCTION. I WOULD SAY THAT FROM
WATCHING THE AUDIENCE AROUND ME THEY FELT THE SAME WAY. KATHY WAS HYSTERICAL IN
HER DUAL ROLES AS BOTH THE KIDNAPPED GIRL AND THE GIRL’S MOTHER. THE ENTIRE
PRODUCTION AND CAST WAS PHENOMENAL WHICH IS SAYING A LOT COMING FROM ME. IT’S NOT
UNUSUAL FOR ME TO WALK OUT OF A PLAY OR MUSICAL BEFORE THE FIRST HALF IS OVER
(WHICH IS WHY I ALWAYS SIT ON THE AISLE (EASIER TO WALK OUT). IN ANY CASE,
NOT WALK OUT BUT I ACTUALLY STOOD UP AND CHEERED AT THE END OF THE
PERFORMANCE WITH THE REST OF THE AUDIENCE AND I ENCOURAGED EVERYONE I KNOW TO
GO AND SEE THE SHOW. I ADMIRED KATHY’S VOICE AND HER STUNNING VOCAL
RANGE. AS I WATCHED HER I THOUGHT I
WONDER IF I CAN LEARN TO DO THAT! I WONDER IF I COULD LEARN TO SING LIKE THAT.
IT LED ME TO ANOTHER QUESTION. I WONDER IF SHE TEACHES? AND SO I REACHED OUT TO
HER ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK. LUCKY FOR ME SHE RESPONDED AND LUCKIER FOR ME SHE
DOES TEACH!
I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE
VOICE LESSONS IN THE PAST BUT INEVITABILITY HAD TO
GIVE THEM UP. I ALWAYS HAD A HARD TIME GETTING MYSELF TO THE LESSONS FOR A
VARIETY OF REASONS. ONE OF THE ISSUES IN GETTING TO A LESSON FOR ME INCLUDED
TOO MUCH TRAFFIC, WHICH, IN TURN, HAS MADE ME
TIRED BEFORE I EVEN BEGIN TO SING. IN
ADDITION, WORK CONFLICTS KEPT ME IN THE OFFICE LONGER THAN EXPECTED. I WOULD
GET TO A LESSON LATE ONLY TO BE TOLD I COULDN'T HAVE A LESSON OR THE LESSON
WOULD HAVE TO BE CUT SHORT BECAUSE OF THE NEXT STUDENT SCHEDULED. KNOWING ALL
THIS MADE ME HESITANT ABOUT STARTING VOICE LESSONS ONCE AGAIN. I WONDERED HOW
LONG I WOULD LAST. LUCKILY FOR ME KATHY INTRODUCED ME TO A NEW WAY TO TAKING
VOICE LESSONS, A WAY THAT REALLY WORKS FOR ME. WHAT MAKES MY LESSONS WITH KATHY DEITCH WORK
FOR ME IS THE FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE
AND HAVING OUR LESSONS ON SKYPE. IT’S
ALL SIMPLIFIED FOR ME. NOW ALL I NEED TO DO IS SCHEDULE SOME TIME WITH KATHY, GET HOME,
GET COMFORTABLE AND FIND A PLACE WHERE I WON’T BE DISTURBED FOR AN HOUR
AND, VOILA, I RECEIVE A GREAT VOICE LESSON. IT’S INGENIOUS FOR THOSE OF US WHO
GET LAZY, TIRED OR HAVE A MOMENT OF BEING UNMOTIVATED. I DON’T WANT TO GIVE THE
WRONG IMPRESSION HERE. WHILE PART OF KATHY’S
PERSONA IS RELAXED AND EASY GOING, KATHY IS ALSO
QUITE THE TASK MASTER. SHE DOESN'T LET ME GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING. SHE HEARS ALL
AND SEE’S ALL. EVERY BREAK IN MY VOICE, EVERY NUANCE OF MY PHRASING, EACH
PLACEMENT AND WHEN AND WHERE I FORGET TO
BREATH IS REVIEWED AND ANALYZED, WHICH MAKES THE LESSON CHALLENGING
BUT DEFINITELY WORTH THE MONEY. SHE IS A SERIOUS ARTIST AND MOST DEFINITELY SERIOUS
ABOUT HER TEACHING. SHE PUSHES HARD, REPEATING
AND EMPHASIZING EXERCISES AND TECHNIQUES. I ACTUALLY FELT PHYSICALLY TIRED
AFTER MY LAST LESSON AS KATHY BARKED AT ME TO “BREATHE!” AT PARTICULAR POINTS
AND PHRASES IN LEARNING MY SONG.
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS SKIPPING A LESSON BECAUSE YOU
DIDN'T PRACTICE. HAVING A LESSON
WHEN I DIDN'T PRACTICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A POINT OF ANXIETY FOR ME. I SOMETIMES WANTED TO SKIP A LESSON WITH KATHY
BECAUSE I HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO PRACTICE IN A WEEK. KATHY HAS ENCOURAGED ME
TO HAVE A LESSON ANYWAY. AND I FIND THIS ALSO WORKS FOR ME. RATHER THAN GET
FURTHER BEHIND WE PICK UP WHERE WE LAST LEFT OFF. THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS IS THAT I CAN SEE
THE IMPROVEMENTS IN MY QUALITY AND TECHNIQUES WHEN I DIDN'T PRACTICE. SOMEHOW I
MANAGE TO INTERNALIZE WHAT WAS TAUGHT.
IT MOTIVATES ME TO PRACTICE MORE THE FOLLOWING WEEK.
I MADE KATHY PROMISE ME THAT AS HER CAREER TAKES OFF SHE
MUST CONTINUE TO GIVE ME VOICE LESSONS. WHAT I SAID IN FACT WAS WHEN YOU ARE UP
ON STAGE ACCEPTING YOUR OSCAR I STILL EXPECT YOU TO STILL MEET ME ON SKYPE FOR
MY VOICE LESSONS.
I DON’T KNOW WHETHER KATHY IS ACCEPTING NEW STUDENTS FOR
PRIVATE LESSONS HER INFORMATION IS BELOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.
PRIVATE LESSONS $55.00 FOR A 45 MINUTE LESSON, 6 FOR
$300.00. SHE USUALLY GOES OVER AND
LESSONS ARE MORE LIKE AN HOUR. I MAKE PAYMENTS THROUGH PAYPAL WHICH MAKES THE
WHOLE PROCESS SO EASY.
