Professionally train your voice:
perform with ease, emotion, power, and artistry!
Laurece is from the successful vocal teaching lineage of Dr. Edward Dwyer. Dr. Dwyer taught Broadway and Metropolitan Opera singers. Additionally, he trained Laurece’s teacher, Hester Young, and also a teacher of numerous rock and R&B stars. This Bel Canto method has been used by teachers of this lineage with Cyndi Lauper, Annie Lennox, Lenny Kravitz, Bon Jovi, Cory Glover,
Savage
Garden and Avril Lavigne.
Laurece creates a safe space in which to explore the joy and freedom of the voice. For singers, the areas of focus are developing a seamless voice with no register breaks or tone difference, unless by artistic design; having a full palette of emotional colors and a variety of tones and styles; naturally expanding & building power throughout the entire range; singing with body ease and efficient, comfortable breath support; developing vocal fluidity; and ensuring that all skills become muscle knowledge so the singer can relax, be artistically expressive and passionate. Amateur and professional performers may receive production coaching for performances, music and arrangement, touring and recording.
In addition to solid training in vocal technique, Laurece uses acting, improv, movement, dialogue and meditative techniques to assist vocalists develop artistically. These enable the artist to express songs in their own unique way - from their heart, body, passion, emotions and artistic sensibility.
