CELIA SLATTERY


VOICE AND PERFORMANCE STUDIO


Sound technique and artistic excellence

for today's popular styles


Contemporary Commercial Music (CCM) -

Jazz, Pop, Rock, Musical Theater, Folk, Cabaret, R&B


  • Actors/musical theater artists: Do you want to nail that audition and get cast?

  • Students: Do you hope to sing in the show choir or perform in a musical? Get the edge on your theater school or conservatory applications?

  • Touring/recording artists: Do you want to improve your vocal performance but not end up sounding like an opera singer? Learn to stay healthy on the road?

  • Classically trained singers: Do you wish to learn a healthy approach to CCM (Contemporary Commercial Music) singing that’s based on science – not mythology?

  • Beginners: Have you always thought you “can’t sing” – but always wanted to?


Don’t waste valuable time and money studying with teachers who are working with outdated methods and don’t understand contemporary music!


Celia Slattery is a certified teacher of Somatic Voiceworktm (SWV)  a state-of-the-art technique that trains your voice for singing in much the same way that an athlete trains for peak performance.  She is a veteran performer and recording artist herself with broad experience in CCM  styles, and has a passion for teaching.  Celia's students are professional stage, club and recording artists, as well as the best shower singers around!

 

I just wanted to express my deep thanks to you for helping me to prepare my voice for my college auditions. I found your classes to be helpful, encouraging, and time-effective. I think you'll be pleased to hear that I got into both schools... - JO


I’ve always wanted to be able to sing in a gospel choir and the lessons made it a reality!-  JR


I've reached another significant milestone...you are helping to bring out the best of

me in both my voice and performance. - KL

    WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

     

    Each lesson is adapted to the specific needs of the student, but generally includes the following:

     

    • posture and breathing exercises
    • vocalises (vocal exercises)
    • application of technique covered in the lesson to a song

    When students have no previous musical training they will also be coached in basic music theory as necessary. Tips for song interpretation, style, stage movement, career advice, etc. will also be offered as appropriate.

    Students can bring in music they want to work on, or will be assigned repertoire appropriate to their vocal range in a variety of styles from the great American songbook, musical theater and contemporary pop music. (Sheet music in your own key is most helpful. If music needs to be transposed, I can refer you to an accompanist.)

    Students get the most out of their instruction when they practice. Even ten minutes a day is enough to make progress – it's better to do a short amount consistently then to do a lot every once in a while (just like training at the gym!).

    It is highly recommended that students in a recorder to record their lesson.  (Many smartphones now have a recording application.  Or you can buy an MP3 recorder, or just use a good old-fashioned cassette recorder!)  The best way to practice is to listen and sing along with your recording.
