the debit will occur on the last weekday prior to the 3rd of the month.

How many lessons will I need?

If you would like to be a professional singer, you should consider consistent and ongoing voice lessons your lifelong commitment.  Although most students progress very quickly, vocal study is a process.  You will see amazing

results in your voice within 3-6 months of study at Sing Like a Star.  Within a year of beginning this training, if you commit to at  least a once weekly lesson (or more) and a minimum of 30 minutes of practice every day,  you will have a completely new and different voice.  If you want to go pro, you will need to continue vocal study throughout your career.

How are the lessons paid for?

Lessons are pre-paid by automatic debit at the beginning of each month for the entire month.  Some months have five weeks and some have four so your payment amount depends on the number of weeks in the month.

How do I reserve an introductory consultation/evaluation session?

t’s easy! You go to singlikeastar.com/start.html (the Get Started button on the website)

Fill out the online form, and then submit your $25 payment.  You will be contacted by email, at the email address you provided in the form, with a time in the schedule.  Consultations are only scheduled with prepayment.

What happens at the consultation/evaluation session?

The introductory consultation/evaluation session  is designed for you to meet briefly with Tricia to see if you are a good fit, before you commit to the monthly lesson payment structure.  It is not a lesson.

You will sing a few basic scales so Tricia can evaluate your voice, and you will sing a portion of a song. Then you will review the studio policies with Tricia, and reserve your spot in the permanent weekly schedule.

Payment by cash, check or debit card is due at this time to reserve the first four sessions. Please bring all paperwork (completed and signed) to this session.

How often will I take lessons?

A minimum of one lesson per week is necessary to make vocal progress. Consistency will ensure that you progress more quickly. Students may take more than one lesson per week. You may take 1 hour, ½ hour, or ¾ hour lessons.

Lessons are at the same time every week- you pick a time that works for you, and that slot is reserved for you with your monthly pre-payment.

Are the lessons recorded?

Yes, the lessons are recorded, so you can practice every day, to an SD card. You will be able to listen to the lesson on your computer using a USB card reader.  You can store the lessons on your iPod, make a CD, or practice from your computer. SD cards are inexpensive and can be purchased at an office supply store. You can store about 10 hours of lessons on a 2 gig SD card and the sound is very good!Where are your studios?

Who is Seth Riggs?

Seth Riggs is the originator of the SLS (Speech Level Singing) technique, which enables a singer to sing through the "bridges" of the voice easily, with no abrupt changes in power or quality, and no "breaks" in the voice. This revolutionary vocal technique is recommended by the producers of "American Idol", and is considered to be the standard of the recording industry today. For more info about Seth and the many stars that owe their careers to him, please visit www.sethriggs.com

Why do I need this training?

Very, very few people can teach themselves to sing. Most self taught singers incorporate incorrect muscles, and either remain "stuck" in their chest voice, or they sing breathy and weak, using the sound they were taught in chorus class,

which definitely does not work in the real world of music!

You need a strong "mix" to be able to compete in today's vocal market.  The mix is the strong upper register, which creates a powerful and exciting sound. Sing Like a Star vocal training will teach you to sing with a healthy, correct vocal

production that will develop the vocal sound YOU want to have for the music YOU want to sing!

Many voice teachers are still teaching the outdated "choral" or "classical" styles they were taught in school.  They do not know how to train voices for rock, pop, and gospel styles.

The saying “if you can sing classical, you can sing anything” is simply not true. You need a different approach to sound current.

There are other teachers who encourage pushing the chest voice too high (“belting”), which results in vocal damage,hoarseness, nodules and ruined careers.

At Sing Like a Star, you learn how to “mix”, your range expands tremendously, you have great high notes, power and control, and best of all, you are doing all this in a healthy manner so your voice will be spectacular for a lifetime.

Tricia Grey was trained in Los Angeles, where this technique originated, by its creator, Seth Riggs, teacher of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Carrie Underwood, and thousands more stars.  She has been teaching this method for over 25 years.

See Seth’s recommendation of Tricia Grey at http://www.singlikeastar.com/sls.html

Will I still sound like myself if I train my voice?

YES!  SLS training will enable you to sing in any musical genre you choose, in a natural and free production, in any style- rock, R and B, Broadway, Gospel, jazz, country, or classical.

SLS singers can be found on Broadway, at every major opera house in the world, and on every record label, singing in every possible musical style. SLS teaches you to sing freely and effortlessly in any vocal style with stamina,

consistency, emotion, control, and power. We teach you how to be the best YOU, with your unique sound and quality, rather than forcing you to sound like someone else!

In order to access the emotional powerhouse within, you need to have a reliable technique that will allow you to express all your emotions with complete confidence in your vocal instrument.. You need to be free to perform from the

heart. Training your voice at Sing Like a Star studios will give you the vocal freedom to be a true artist.
