Duo Coaching · Prep Guide

📓 Prepare for your very first session:

  1. 2× 3–4 min songs total
    • Option A: both of you sing the 2 songs together
    • Option B: each person sings 1 solo song
  2. Pick songs:
    • a) you’re already working on
    • b) you love, and/or
    • c) you already know. Keep it simple!

🎒 Bring to the first session:

  • Karaoke or instrumental tracks on YouTube or MP3
  • Optional: email links or MP3s to carolyn@vocaleuphoria.com
  • If either of you plays, you may bring your own guitar or use mine.

📢 Things to know:

  • No lead voice on background tracks (backup singers are fine)
  • Memorization is recommended but not mandatory
  • Sing the entire song — don’t stop early
  • Please time your songs so you don’t go overtime
  • This is NOT an audition — I just want to hear your voices

📝 Bring to every session:

  • Pen and notepad
  • Personal recorder/cell phone for specific exercises(No, you do not have permission to record entire sessions.)

BTW — if you’re nervous, don’t worry. There’s no need to be perfect. Just do your best!

  • 24-hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule
  • Use the cancellation link provided in your booking email

🏠 In Person

  • This is a private residence near Woodbine & Mortimer (just north of the Danforth)
  • Please arrive exactly at your time — no waiting area
  • Students are booked back-to-back; if early, come to the door only at your time
  • Under 18: please attend the first visit with one parent/guardian
    • We’ll sit and chat briefly until your child is comfortable to proceed
    • If your child prefers, you may stay, but one-on-one lessons work best without distractions
  • No spectators please
  • Adult students: to minimize distractions, please do not bring children/toddlers into the session; if needed, reschedule

💻 Online

Duo Coaching is available online when both participants are in the same room together.

  • Find a private, quiet space with good lighting where both of you can sit as well as stand.
  • Keep the webcam in one place — do not hold a laptop, iPad, etc. in your hands.
    • Test your webcam, sound, and mic prior to the session.
    • Ask other people in your household not to disturb you.
    • No spectators on or off camera please.
  • To minimize audio glitches and delays, enable Zoom Original Sound (optional but recommended): https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115003279466-Using-and-preserving-original-sound-in-a-meeting
