I practiced alone for years and still didn’t feel ready. I learned the hard way: you have to make mistakes in front of others, or you never move forward.
Book a Performance LabNo experience necessary. Beginner or advanced, singers and speakers both.
The Lab is 90 minutes, up to four participants, everyone nervous, no audience except each other — just enough pressure to make voices improve lightning fast.
Today I’ve practiced making my mistakes in front of people so much that they no longer look like mistakes. That’s what the Lab is for.
Each Performance Lab is a guided, small-group session where you bring material you’re actively developing and work through it within the group setting. You’ll perform or present, receive real-time coaching, and observe others working through similar challenges.
Watching others work is part of the learning. Hearing the feedback others receive and noticing how adjustments unfold in the moment informs your own practice.
We start with a short warm-up together. Then each person in turn performs their piece, gets feedback, tries a few things and may run it again. We finish with a short wrap-up.
There’s no curriculum to complete and no milestones to “pass”. Progress happens by showing up, applying the work, and letting repetition do its job.
Preparation has its limits. Skills strengthen through use, not isolation. The Performance Lab is a structured environment where material is tested, feedback is integrated, and control develops through continued application.
Adults, 18 and up. You’re in the right place if you:
Everyone in a Lab is outside their comfort zone. That is where the learning happens.
The Lab runs at my home studio. Labs are booked through the booking system. Booking reserves your spot on a specific date.
Every adult Prep Pack includes Performance Labs, with private sessions around them, put together around a goal or event you’re working toward.
