๐ŸŽฌ Performance Lab (NEW)

A small-group performance training environment, limited to 4 performers.

Performance Lab is a structured space to practice performing in front of others while receiving focused coaching and feedback. The small group format allows for individual attention, real-time learning, and a supportive atmosphere where progress can happen without pressure to be perfect.

This is not a recital or showcase. Itโ€™s a working lab designed to help singers and speakers build confidence, consistency, and comfort being seen and heard โ€” one step at a time.

Because each session is capped atย four participants, everyone has time to perform, observe, and integrate feedback in a meaningful way.

Ideal for performers who want to bridge the gap between private work and real-world performance.

โœจ Why Choose My Performance Lab?

Performance Lab exists because confidence doesnโ€™t fully develop in isolation. Many people make real progress in private practice or one-on-one coaching, but still hesitate when it comes time to use their voice in front of others. Skills improve, understanding deepens โ€” and then pressure changes everything.

Performance Lab provides a place to bridge that gap. It gives you regular opportunities to apply what youโ€™re learning in a real, shared environment, so confidence isnโ€™t theoretical โ€” itโ€™s lived. Through repetition, guidance, and supported exposure, you learn what actually holds up when youโ€™re being seen and heard.

This work isnโ€™t about proving yourself or getting it โ€œright.โ€ Itโ€™s about building trust in your voice over time and discovering that mistakes, nerves, and imperfect moments are part of the process โ€” not signs that youโ€™re doing it wrong.

๐Ÿ”„ What Happens in a Lab

Each Performance Lab is a guided, small-group session where everyone has space to participate and learn.

Youโ€™ll bring material youโ€™re working on and have the opportunity to perform or present it in front of the group. Youโ€™ll receive focused, supportive coaching in real time, with an emphasis on exploration and adjustment rather than getting things โ€œright.โ€

Listening is just as important as performing. Youโ€™ll learn by watching others work, hearing the feedback they receive, and noticing how different voices, styles, and challenges are approached. Many participants find that observing others brings insight into their own work, even when theyโ€™re not the one performing.

The Lab is designed as a working environment, not a showcase. Youโ€™re encouraged to experiment, repeat sections, try different approaches, and take risks in a supportive setting. Over time, this combination of doing, receiving feedback, and witnessing others builds confidence through practice and experience.

โš™๏ธ How it Works

Performance Lab runs as an in-person, small-group workshop with a consistent structure, so you can focus on your work rather than figuring out something new each time.

Each session is 90 minutes long and facilitated to balance performing, coaching, and group learning. The format supports repeat attendance, allowing confidence to build through familiarity and practice over time.

Thereโ€™s no required progression and no expectation to attend every month. Youโ€™re free to engage with Performance Lab in the way that best supports where you are right now.

๐Ÿงญ Session Options

Performance Lab is available in two participation options, depending on how you want to engage.

  • Single Performance Lab
    A one-time Lab session. Ideal if you want to try Performance Lab, get feedback on current material, or experience the format before committing to a series.
  • Performance Lab Series
    A multi-session option for those who want ongoing practice over time. Series packages allow you to attend multiple Labs while saving on the per-session cost and choosing which dates to attend based on availability.

Carolyn has been instrumental in my development as an artist. Her coaching helped build and refine my skills in singing and delivering my own written music. Her exercises and ability to fine tune my sound with clear advice, and focus me mentally for performances was very helpful. She's also friendly. Your extreme skill and knowledge is inspiring. Thanks a lot!
