Tis the season to be singing! So, why not have a great event for which to sing? Okay lets get down to the details...
This will be a vocal competition. However, every song must have something to do with the season. Now, that can be about the holidays...Or, it can be about winter. Or, it can be about being somewhere where there is no winter. How about the start of a brand new year? You can be as conservative or as crazy as you want. We, want to be entertained. Everyone will be judged on ...
1. Vocal quality - That's what you are born with
2. Vocal Technique- That's what you have learned to do with it
3. Overall Entertainment Value

AND THAT IS IT...of course lots of things go into Overall entertainment value..Stage presentation, comfortability on stage. Is the song age appropriate? Are we getting the message? (are we supposed to get chills?. laugh like crazy?) You get it. Right?
Mostly we want you to have fun.

Let's see ummm oh you need to know when and where and all that kind of stuff...Okay, we will be holding this at
John A's (Click on name for website) right near Opryland in Nashville December 15, and 16, from 11AM- 3:30PM Each Day. Bring an appetite because this place has ammmmazing food. Although there is no manditory minimum. There is also no cover, no parking charge. Heck, you can bring as many people as you want!

There will be 2 categories -Under 12 and 12 and over. However, this does not effect when or which day you will perform. Under 12 people will be scored on a different color score sheet. You can perform on whichever day you choose as long as you ask me early enough.

Okay, this is big and exciting news. At least for me. You guys all know how Tom Jackson, performance coach to the stars, is having a 2 day intensive boot camp right here in Nashville next month. (I think the one in Baton Rouge is this weekend). But what you didn't know, what you could not have known, not until today at least. Is that Brett Manning, world famous vocal coach to the stars such as....Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift, Miley Sirus, Keith Urban, and tons more...AND....vocal coach to Broadway show casts such as Les Miserable (and a bunch of others but that is my fave lol) will be joining Tom at the Nashville show.

This is what they would say in politics is a "game changer" I have seen Brett work up close. I have sent students to him. Mainly, Kayla Nettles. Her voice was just getting too big so fast and we needed the best. I had heard he was the best. He got the job. That was 3 summers ago. Since then Kayla has been on American Idol and works professionally as a singer consistently. The coolest thing about Kayla going to Brett was....He let ME sit in on her lessons...I was half hoping he was a big over priced fake. I was half hoping I could say "oh he wasn't doing anything that I don't do"

Well, that half of me was disappointed because he was more than anything I could've expected. As a life coach I can say that he could be an awesome life coach. Every time we left his studio we both felt so empowered and alive. And I was just watching. His understanding of the human voice and ability to explain it in every day terms and teach it is so rare and worth every penny. Her mom paid $250.00 a session. I KNOW!!!  and he may be more now. (I've heard he is now $300.00) Hey, sometimes you really do get what you pay for.

You all know how I feel about Tom Jackson's Coaching. So, the 2 of them together would probably be worth ???? Some ridiculous fee that nobody without a trust fund could afford. But for these 2 days in MUSIC CITY USA....It's $299.00

If singing for a living and performing on-stage is not one of your biggest dreams....eh....probably not all that exciting...But, if it is....You can't go wrong!! For reg. details CLICK HERE

If you sign up soon....otherwise it shoots up an extra $100.00. Still not a bad deal. But, I say SAVE!

As many of you know, I have begun training to work as an instructor with world renowned live music producer Tom Jackson. So far, I'm having a blast. It's a little embarrassing when I realize how much I DIDN'T know about onstage live performance. But, I'm learning.  Anyway, I have to tell you about an opportunity. Tom helps artists like Taylor Swift, The Band Perry, Gloriana, Jars of Clay, Francesca Battistelli, and so many more. Why, I could just go on and name drop all day. (I'm not gonna )

But, if you want to learn how to Rock YOUR live performance here's your chance. By attending his Bootcamp for onstage success you will learn what so many of these pros know.  The classes and hands-on demos are fun and full of great teaching. You’ll be inspired, and ideas will begin to flow. And for my dear clients who are struggling with confidence on the stage. This will help you immensely. Because when you look confident and you know what you are doing, there is no way that isn't going to take a positive toll on you.

You can sign up for a 1-day or 2-day Bootcamp:  

The 1-day Road Show Bootcamp will show how you can turn your show into a captivating concert of “moments” for your audience! Currently one is scheduled on August 25 in Baton Rouge, with more dates soon to come in other cities.

The annual 2-day Tom Jackson Bootcamp will be held in Nashville on September 28 & 29. Come hear what no one else is teaching – practical ideas and tools to make your Live Show Live! Tom’s Live Music Method will amaze you; applying it will make your show unique.  I will be attending this one so, let me know if you are going.

Here's what some industry folk had to say about Mr. Jackson...

"Tom makes a major impact… he’s a true creative partner who helps realize the artist’s full performance potential."— Matt Serletic, Producer (Santana, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Matchbox Twenty, Rob Thomas)

You guys, this is the real thing! Those of you who know me know that I am not into big pressure sales. I'm more like..."Hey you wanna check this out?" and if you say ummm nah I'm like "Cool" So, I'll let you look things over and if you have any questions or would like to register you can CLICK HERE

Oh and you may get a chance to play a song for industry pros and earn a Bootcamp Top Performer award, something specifically chosen to help artists who show potential!
