AN INTRODUCTION TO
THE VOCAL ZONES
SINGING & PERFORMING ARTS
ACADEMY
Learning From ExperienceMy name is Audrey Beharie-McGee and I will be your vocal coach who will be taking you on the magnificent journey ahead!
I founded VOCAL ZONES in 1996 so am celebrating 28 years of working with amazingly talented individuals from both London, UK and Atlanta, GA USA! My background is as a singer/songwriter and producer singer, songwriter and producer. I have over 35 years of music business experience under my belt and have worked in a variety of entertainment-based environments which has provided me with an all-round view of the industry and what it REALLY takes to BREAK THROUGH! I decided to launch VOCAL ZONES back in 1996 so as to enable my students to have an all-round learning experience with the HIGHS and NOT SO HIGHS that come with being a part of the entertainment industry. My passion is to bring out the true essence of the students I work with and bring to the forefront that texture and tenacity to "enhance" their own voice without actually changing the natural, God-given essence. Many people wanting to get involved in singing as a career or hobby are put-off by the thought of boring, repetitive breathing exercises that can become rather tedious sometime. All training in any nature of the word will be boring at times, especially if you are being re-trained in a certain area. It is true to say, if you're not prepared to live, breathe and put constant and concerted effort, drive, vigor and enthusiasm into your craft, then you will not reap the benefits or the acclaim at the end of the journey! |
Setting Your Sights High!Becoming an amazing performer definitely takes practice, diligence, tolerance and, of course, talent. However, some will say that talent is not always the vehicle that will drive you to become infamous. Sometimes, you just happen to be in the right place at the right time?
But, once you have had this "lucky break", you now have to have a contingency plan of HOW to maintain it! So I firmly believe that by taking time-out to personally get to know my students on a one-to-one basis in a strong, nurturing spiritual background, I am able to easily pinpoint strengths and weaknesses with the emphasis on helping my students to accomplish their own individuals goals and move them into a new and fulfilled life that will hopefully bring them closer to the acknowledgement of who they are as "gifted and truly talented" creations! VOCAL ZONES have been integral in helping many talented individuals go forward to pursue successful careers in the music industry, on the Stage, TV, scholarships to prestigious Performing Arts Schools, church choirs and singers of all ages and abilities. There are so many elements that needs to be explored, especially with the fundamentals of just "knowing" your self and your instrument - THE VOICE! There are so many dynamics that you have to become one with so as to ensure you to drive your vehicles in any and every weather or condition and still arrive at your destination on-time and in EXCELLENT form! |
Artist Development Programs We have been commissioned to work on Artist development projects for many record labels, management and production and also love working closely with Management, Artist Development or Production Company wishing to prepare your artiste for recording studio projects, touring and showcase auditions too?
By working with your stable of artist, we will be able to hone in on their specific strengths, weaknesses and areas that need concentrated efforts to ensure that they are "studio" or "tour" ready and able to give the most optimum performances in all areas of their work. Bringing yourself or recording artist up to a certain level of standard can sometimes be a balancing act whereby you need an "outside entity" to be able to evaluate, train and hone skills in an objective and more "conducive" methodology. This is where you will find the greatest of results in regards to your progression as an artist. Vocal Zones provides excellent artist development, vocal performance & arrangement skills and is able to progress the artist to the levels they need to attain to. If you are an artist, or maybe a management/production or record label, who has recording commitments with your artist, rehearsing for a live show or tour or just needs special on-site coaching, then VOCAL ZONES also offers an Vocal Arrangement Service too. We can come to your studio sessions or location, assist with finding harmonies, pitching and "singing navigational" issues, mentoring and general coaching relating the specific in your vocal production skills. We can also assist with guiding you through the articulation of "singing/choreographic" energy preparation for touring or showcases where you are required to sing, apply movement and also demonstrate audience/stage awareness. |
