About JoAnn

I teach students via Skype in the comfort of your own environment. I am a vocal coach, songwriting coach and an acting coach. I will instruct you on script breakdown, character acting, commercial acting and how to build a character. Vocal coaching includes pitch correction and range; various exercises which are desinged just for you and your voice. If you are a student that auditions, I will teach you technique on how to audition and get the job!

These are a few things I teach that you will hold onto for as long as you sing:

BREATHING

HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR SOUND

TONAL PLACEMENT

VOCAL STAMINA AND FLEXIBILITY

HOW TO SMOOTH OUT THE BLEND BETWEEN CHEST AND HEAD

VOCAL STYLIZING ~ IMPROVISATION AND “RIFFING”

You will hear an improvement after the first lesson! I hope to hear from you soon!

Watching my students grow and improve their craft in acting singing, songwriting and performing! I love watching the growth and helping my students acheive their goals!

An agency asked me to start teaching as I was signed as an actor to this particular agency. I also worked with a record producer and he asked me to start coaching some of his clients in the studio and privately.

I have been on television, film and stage. I have opened as a singer for bands and have headlined on cruise ships and music festivals across the countr and around the world. I have been singing, dancing and performing since the age of 3. I have won a Telly Award for music and was nominated for an Emmy. You can have all the education in the world on music, singing and acting. Being an active performer/singer and actress speaks volumes for teaching.

About the lesson

First I speak to the student about their goals and what they would like to achieve. Then I get right to work and we do a scene and work on a monologue or commercial copy for acting. Most of my students are auditioning so we prepare for the day of the audition.

For SINGERS I ask you to sing a song of your choice and I access your voice. I teach you some great warm up exercises and we work on a song together. I can fix your problem areas (transitioning from the chest voice to the head voice, for instance) I teach you everything from how to learn a song to how to sell or perform a song to auditioning; holding a microphone; enganging an audience and recording...depending on what your goals are! I will help you achieve them!

All ages and all types of experience.

I have worked with experienced actors and singers to novices.

It's always great to connect with someone you're studying with. But I feel like the most important thing is to be sure that the teacher has been or is currently a working professional.

I recently coached a student who was in a very large vocal contest in NY; she is only 15 and placed third in the contest. At the same time another student won 2nd place at the Ms. Houston Contest. These were fun and exciting for both me and my students! Also, I perform all the time at various places and it all creates fond memories and experiences. I want the same for my students and will help them achieve their goals.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I feel it's important for students to get to know what characters they think they would be good for on television and film or in theater. It's always easier to get cast close to who you really are especially in the beginning of your career .

As for singers, it is important to know what style of music you would like to focus on. I try to encourage my students to sing through all kinds of styles! it's fun and it's great to stretch yourself. Then we can focus on what music you would like to sing.

Perfect! I never thought I am able to sing. After less than 3 months, everyone including my parents and professors can notice that I have a prettier and stronger voice. She taught me not only singing but also having self-confidence and more power. She is a big sister and she really cares about her students!!

Perfect! JoAnn is incredible and let me tell you why. I’m 23 years old and have just decided that I want to do acting. I’ve been to about 4 classes with JoAnn and have already been asked to two auditions! She really cares about her students. I take lessons from her in her home (which is so lovely). I’m so pleased with her service because she has gone out of her way to guide me through the ins and outs of the business. She got me started with a good monologue, set up on a website that I can start submitting myself for auditions on, and ready for the two auditions that I have already booked thus far. Look no further - JoAnn is your coach :)

I have had an acting career since I was 16. I've been directed by Di Niro and other famous directors. I've been on many television shows and films. JoAnn has helped me tremendously in the last few years. She is a great coach, understands the business and can break down a script like no one else I know. Thanks to her, I recently nailed a big audition!
