Introducing
jewelAbigail Adu here, bringing you love, happiness, and blessings. I may not be at my peak of greatness but i'm getting somewhere. Just being me until i fade out, doing what i can one step at a time.
What you LOVE about being a VOCAL ZONES STUDENTS What I love about being a Vocal Zones Student is the fact that it's not like any other singing and performing arts academy. They bring a comfort to students, they build your confidence and push you to go places you never thought you'd be able to. You may not be comfortable with making the moves that they push you to do but once you step forth, you won't regret not one moment. Any talent you ever had they will ta into it to bring out the greatness in you that you don't even find within yourself. Ms. Audrey has always shined this light on me and believed that i could do what could not and there are some parts in me that believe i can't and she pushes me to do it anyway. I regret nothing. I cherish everything. TELL US ABOUT A MEMORABLE MILESTONE OR BREAKTHROUGH THAT YOU HAVE MADE DURING YOUR TIME AS A STUDENT WITH VOCAL ZONES? One milestone i hit was my Sweet 16 birthday photo shoot which went extremely successful. To tag along with that accomplishment it brought me closer to a liking in modeling, fashion, and so forth. TELL US ABOUT YOUR GOALS, AMBITIONS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AS A PERFORMER MY goals align with my talents and interests and at the moment it's difficult to pan out just exactly what i want to do. I want to professionalize in each and every one of my gifts and talents. I wish to shoot for fashion, modeling, singing, dancing, acting, writing, drawing, playing instruments, etc. There are many things that fall in the performing arts field but my intelligence and people friendly attitude could also land me elsewhere. @vibewitabby Introducing
amayaI was born and raised in a small city called Albany, Ga. I grew up singing soulful gospel music in the choir of course and some how those soulful roots never left my voice. My father introduced me to different genres of music by playing his favorite artists (Madonna, Michael Jackson, One Way, Bob Marley, etc.) in the house constantly and that really cultivated my passion to do music and to not be conformed to just soulful gospel music. At an early age I was encouraged to cultivate my voice and I’ve not stopped yet, I just add a little soul to whatever I’m singing.
What you LOVE about being a VOCAL ZONES STUDENTS I love the diversity of services provided. I don’t just receive vocal conditioning, there’s also stage presence, interview prepping, and writing sessions. I’ve never received all of those services for one price, and I think that’s amazing. It really shows how invested Audrey really can be in her students. TELL US ABOUT A MEMORABLE MILESTONE OR BREAKTHROUGH THAT YOU HAVE MADE DURING YOUR TIME AS A STUDENT WITH VOCAL ZONES? Well, singing in lower tones used to be a problem for me. When Audrey conditioned time to the point that I could CONFIDENTLY sing a Jazmine Sullivan or Toni Braxton song is when I knew I’d made a huge breakthrough. TELL US ABOUT YOUR GOALS, AMBITIONS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AS A PERFORMER My plan is to make music full time and become the ultimate entertainer. I want to gain FULL vocal control and/or manifest the vocal powerhouse I’m meant to be. Roxy Devoreaux @mckie.amaya YouTube Amaya Scott |

grace flavianGrace Flavien is a singer, songwriter, and actor. Brooklyn born and Georgia raised, Grace discovered her passion for music and performing from a young age through musical theatre. Grace refined her skills at the Savannah College of Art & Design with a Major in Performing Arts and a minor in Vocal Performance.
Music has always been her solace and she enjoys sharing it with others. There is nothing like finding a song that says everything you feel! When she’s not performing, she enjoys acting, songwriting, watching movies and cosplaying as some of her favorite characters! What you LOVE about being a VOCAL ZONES STUDENTS Being a Vocal Zones student has helped me in training my voice and retraining my strategy when singing. Mrs. Audrey and Brian are very knowledgeable, as well as supportive and encouraging! Audrey has an eye for potential. What I like about class, no matter how difficult it might be to hear, is that Audrey will tell your the truth and she will push you to get the results you want! Diamonds can’t be formed without a little bit of tough love. TELL US ABOUT A MEMORABLE MILESTONE OR BREAKTHROUGH THAT YOU HAVE MADE DURING YOUR TIME AS A STUDENT WITH VOCAL ZONES? A memorable breakthrough is the importance of breath and the shape of your mouth when singing. Whenever I have trouble hitting a note, or problems with a phrase, usually one or two of those things need to be re-evaluated. This awareness has helped me tremendously! TELL US ABOUT YOUR GOALS, AMBITIONS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE AS A PERFORMER Presently speaking, I would love to produce the songs that I’ve written so far, and release them. I tend to write quite a bit of love songs, and I know there are people out there who feel what I feel. As for future goals and ambitions, I want to be able to develop and produce my music. My heart songs! Collaborations are invited, of course! Right now, my top thoughts on collaborators are Brendon Urie, Bazzi, Jon Bellion, Sara Bareilles, and Ben Platt! And I would love the opportunity to tour/press conference and share my music. WEBSITE www.Grace-Flavien.com Grace Flavien @grace_flavien YouTube Grace Flavien @graceflavien x |
lareeLaree is an aspiring R&B/Soul artist, Born and raised IN Detroit, MI.
Music has always been a part of Laree's life. She admires classic Motown artists like Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, and Aretha Franklin. Her style is reminiscent of the early and mid-90s R&B with influences of the iconic 80s era as well as disco. These influences tie together her love for unity through dance as these eras are paramount to modern dance culture. Although, she's been writing songs and poems since a child, Laree really started enhancing her music career in 2017. Performing at open mics gave her the extra confidence she needed to RELEASE her first single, "Gimme." The song forces you to consider the higher road in petty arguments between the one you are with. She declares if we love one another than lets dissolve the anger and instead exchange the superior vibration of love. Laree's modern soulful sound connects you with her inner emotions and thoughts. There's no doubt her creativity will bring a pulse back to R&B. What you LOVE about being a VOCAL ZONES STUDENTS You are expected to stay sharp at all times; the resilience that Audrey pushes out of her students TELL US ABOUT A MEMORABLE MILESTONE OR BREAKTHROUGH THAT YOU HAVE MADE DURING YOUR TIME AS A STUDENT WITH VOCAL ZONES?

I moved to Georgia in 2014 and have not looked back since. I love preforming and singing I have tried to be "serious" and stick to my 9-5 but something always brings be back to the stage. Thanks to the amazing Audrey and Vocal Zones I was able to unleash my passion not only for preforming but also as a song writer. I simply can't go back and I am loving every minute of this crazy yet fantastic ride. What you LOVE about being a VOCAL ZONES STUDENTS Audrey not only is forming artists and performers but she looks behind the voice into the persona as a whole and helps you discover your self and your worth.
