IMAGINE– the convenience of learning this world-class vocal technique from the comfort of your home! Online voice lessons are fun, convenient, and easy!
Many students from all over the world as well as those who live in the local Atlanta area are discovering the fun of online voice lessons. Many of our local Atlanta students utilize this option a couple of times per month in combination with in-person lessons to save driving time or when traveling. By utilizing the online distance training method with Sing Like a Star, will be able to take professional voice lessons from the comfort of your own home, from your hotel when traveling, or from anywhere in the world!
Sing like a Star’s online singing lessons provide professional expertise to students in any location using a computer or smart phone, (i-phone, Blackberry, or Android) an i-pad, or an i-pod touch.
ONLINE VOICE LESSONS ARE CONVENIENT AND EASY!
At Sing Like a Star we have upgraded from Skype and Facetime, which were not always reliable and did not record the lessons, to a much better platform called ZOOM. ZOOM is a professional product used by NASA and many other high level organizations. You, the client, don’t have to join anything or purchase anything to take online lessons through your computer- you will simply receive an email containing a “meeting number”. You click on the link in the email, enter the number, and “join the meeting” (or voice lesson in our case).
During our first session there will be a quick setup, which you will be guided through when you join the first meeting. During the lesson you will see your teacher on the screen as well as yourself. This is a valuable teaching tool; when reviewing the lesson, you will have both audio and video. It’s almost like being there in person- and the quality of the audio recording is very good. With ZOOM, you don’t have to worry about recording your lesson; we will send you a link after the session by email that will allow you to download your lesson so you can practice.
Many local students actually prefer the online voice lessons option! You can’t beat the convenience and time-saving factor of not having to drive. And the fact that you can both see AND hear yourself on the lesson recording is very helpful for practicing!
In today’s fast-paced and over-scheduled world, you don’t ever have to miss a voice lesson with the convenience of Online Distance Lessons with Sing Like a Star!
