Technique is fundamental, empowering, and freeing.
Technique is a feeling entity bringing you closer to your personal style and passion in your vocals and lets you find the artist in you.
Great Singing – Free Your Inner Beast
Great singing starts with breath. Lessons begin with connecting the breath with the impulse of singing. Freeing the voice. Supporting your unique sound.
Technique is about endowing you with the ability to be your own teacher by teaching you to see your voice as an instrument with an infinite range of possibility.
Coaching Voice for performance, auditions and personal development. All styles supported. You can contact me directly using the formbelow, or via Superprof Community
Coaching the Song and Monologue for Auditions
Former students include Broadway singers. Dawn Cantwell singer/actress on Sting’s musical The Last Ship. Top opera singers – Angel Blue (Covent Garden, Met Opera, Proms), Julie Adams (Met Opera winner), Danielle and Alana Haim of Haim, Andrew Chapelle and others.
I bring my experience as a Stage Performer and a Stage Director in working with Actors and Singing Actors. Authenticity is often overreached, and the goal is to bring out the unique voice of each and every actor with
intention toward the text. Once we parse intention in the work, we can feel it. I have a range of techniques to assist the auditioning young actor or the pro. The work is applicable to Actors and Singing Actors.
My students? Pop to classical. But the work is fundamental. Organic, core singing with strong intention.
Coaching Voice Experience
Having been a young opera singer singing opposite performers such as Placido Domingo, Maria Ewing and Frederica Von Stade, I understand the demands of singing onstage from nerves to pacing oneself.
My work as a performance artist led to work with musicians like Danny Elfman, David Was, Van Dyke Parks. My voice is featured in films and commercials, featured soloist for the LA Phil and St Paul Chamber Orchestras.
Stephanie Vlahos honors the process of Young Performers in working to identify and elevate their unique sound and inner voice. Her work is ongoing. She cherishes the work and continues to assist many performers strengthen their voices, develop their technique, and prepare for auditions whether professional or amateur.
Stephanie Vlahos moved onwards and outwards with the students from LACHSA. The young artists project performed in shows in Los Angeles and other locations in China and in Scotland at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival performing “Carmen High” where it received a 5-Star rating from Broadway World.
