Anyone with something to work toward: an audition, a speech, an interview, a performance, or stage fright. There are packs for people preparing for something, and for people just getting started.

Answer a few questions on the Prep Packs page and I’ll show you what fits.

Private sessions, plus Performance Labs and a MasterClass where they fit. Countdown and The Long Game start with a consultation: we sit down and plan what you need.

Yes, one, for ages 9 to 17: Stage Ready, fifteen private sessions and a MasterClass performer spot. It doesn’t include Performance Labs, which are for adults, 18 and up.

Each pack is valid for the time shown with it on the Prep Packs page: 1, 4, 6, 12 or 17 weeks. Your pack’s weeks start at your first session.

Book all your dates before you pay. Your pack’s weeks start at your first session. Sessions are booked no more than 2 weeks apart. Within that time, you choose: once a week, twice a week, or a 90-minute session that counts as two.

In three packs: The Long Game, Getting Confident and Stage Ready each include a MasterClass performer spot. Your performer spot is booked with your pack.

Yes, for three of them: Last-Minute Rush A, Last-Minute Rush B and Getting Started.

Sessions not used in time expire and are not refunded.

Consultations are for artists, speakers and entrepreneurs seeking perspective, planning support, or strategic input. A young performer is welcome with a parent.

Yes. Consultations may be booked independently of lessons or workshops.

Yes; both in-person and online (across Canada and the US) options are available.

Performers and observers. Every spot must be booked in advance.

At Kimbourne Park United Church (Coxwell & Danforth), on a Sunday once a season, four times a year, 1:30 to 3:30pm. The dates are on the MasterClass page.

No. It’s a workshop: a place to learn how to perform in real time, in front of an audience. Nobody expects a polished show.

Singers, singer-songwriters, rappers and spoken word artists, speakers, presenters, actors, comedians and storytellers. Kids 9 and up, teens and adults.

No, not at all. Every level is welcome, from first-timers to experienced performers.

Performer spots are by invitation, six per MasterClass. Apply to perform, and if you’re accepted, I’ll send you an invitation. It holds your spot for 7 days (48 hours if the MasterClass is less than 2 weeks away). Applying doesn’t hold a spot.

Performed at a MasterClass before? You’ve already been invited: book directly, no need to apply. The same goes for a Prep Pack with a MasterClass (your spot is booked with your pack) and a MasterClass eGift Card someone gave you.

There are two rounds. In the first, you perform your first piece and I coach you on it: we might try a section a few different ways, then you perform it again. In the second round, the speed round, you perform your second piece with no feedback, just the room cheering you on.

That’s normal, and that’s what the MasterClass is for: learning how to perform and move past stage fright, in a safe space, in front of an audience that’s there to cheer you on.

Yes. A live musician, a pianist or guitarist, plays for every singer. Singer-songwriters accompany themselves, and can ask the musician to join them. Rappers and spoken word artists bring their own backing tracks and speaker, or ask the musician to play along. Speakers, presenters, actors, comedians and storytellers don’t need music, but can ask the musician to play behind them. Your part of the MasterClass prep guide has the details.

Singers bring sheet music or a chart for both pieces. Singer-songwriters, rappers and spoken word artists bring it only if they want the musician to play with them (rappers and spoken word artists can also just ask the musician to improvise). Pick your role in the MasterClass prep guide to see your checklist.

No. Speakers, presenters, actors, comedians and storytellers don’t need any music. You can ask the musician to play behind you on the day, with nothing to prepare.

Not at all. You only bring a copy for the musician. The MasterClass prep guide walks you through finding it and setting it up, one small step at a time.

Yes, you’re welcome to come as an observer. It’s a workshop, so observers may be asked questions.

$75, plus HST. Spots are limited.

No. MasterClass is offered in person only.

Join the waiting list on the booking page. If a place opens, everyone on the list is emailed at once, and the first to book gets it.

Yes. It provides performance and applied work that supports audition preparation.

Adults, 18 and up: up to four people, each taking a turn with their own piece.

A short warm-up together; then each person in turn performs their piece, gets feedback, tries a few things and may run it again; then a short wrap-up.

Everyone in the room is nervous, and that’s the point. I run the Lab to help you get past stage fright and focus on performing in front of others. A tiny bit of pressure in a small group helps you get comfortable fast, much faster than one-on-one.

No. Only participants attend.

No. The Performance Lab runs in person at the home studio, on the first and third Wednesday of each month (no Labs in July and August).

Use the Performance Lab prep guide to choose material and prepare before the session.
