1. Vocal Coaching: 40 for 40 Special!
Thank you to everyone who got the Lush Tongue Facebook Page to over 600 likes! Thank you to everyone who attended the Moving Star Open Sing on Sunday. How are you doing? How is your heart, mind, body? Voice?
I still have slots available for vocal coaching sessions. If you are looking for a budget-conscious option to cultivate your vocal presence and develop healthy habits for speech and song, now would be a great opportunity to gift yourself a one-on-one Zoom session:
$40 per participant for an introductory 40 minute session!
Are you talking for hours on the phone, or in online conferences? Is your voice hoarse and fatigued by the end of the day?
Would you like to feel more grounded and confident in the dynamic capacities of your voice? Invest in a session with me. Clients leave my sessions feeling revitalized, inspired, more in touch with themselves, and a deeper understanding of what their voices can do. Here is more of what you all have to say about my courses and coaching.
You can book a:
Private vocal session
Private one-on-one vocal sound bath session
Private small group vocal sound bath session (7 people maximum)
Your literal voice serves as a powerful portal for your symbolic voice in the world. Email me at lushtongue@gmail.com to book a session.
2. Moving Star Virtual Concert – New Date TBA!
We’re embarking on our first ever online concert, and we are in the midst of organizing all the technical wizardry required to make it happen, to give you a great experience!
More details coming soon.
