What is your responsibility in a voice lesson?

Come to your lesson with a specific agenda.
Don’t be afraid of trying something new in the way of making sound. No one expects you to be perfect the first time out.

Never give your power away.
Experience is almost always the best teacher.

Trust your own instincts.
You are in charge of your own life.
If you don’t run your own life, someone or something else will.
You are unique. There will never be another talent or voice like yours to be heard or experienced by others, so with the help of your teacher, decide how to connect to your voice. Share it in performance.
Discover who you are at your very core. Express that to the world through your voice.
Risk being who you are and ask for what you want. Believe you can have it and then be ready to receive it.
It works!
