Intro to Vocal Awakening
90-minute session
Awaken to the beauty and power of your voice! We’ll start off with the most thorough, eye-opening, enjoyable and totally non-judgmental analysis of your voice you’ve ever had. Follow it up with custom vocal exercises that zero-in on the areas of your voice that need the most support. Then, dive into the song of your choosing, working on sound, style, and self-expression so you really own it.
You’ll leave with a deeper understanding and appreciation of your voice and what it and you are capable of, and be inspired to take your singing to the next level.

CLIENT LOVE NOTES
" I knew I needed a safe space in which to be myself and explore. I’m so glad I found Ruth— she is sensitive, caring, and she understands how singing connects to one’s expression and wellbeing in all areas of life. Since I started working with her, I’ve brought more of myself into my music (and hence, into the world!)."
