How to Move from Classical to Rock

Networking vs. Schmoozing

Everybody has an artist within them, and with the right mentor and attitude, you are never too old to learn something new.

“Laura has been like a catalyst to my musical pursuit. Not only has she helped with my songwriting and vocals. She’s helped pave the way through the misconceptions I had about being a solo performer and being a band member. Laura has truly helped me put it all together… She has a great insight for what sounds good regardless of genre and has helped me build the confidence I need to perform as a solo artist. Her advice is timeless.”

–David Beaubien

“After spending time with Laura Kessler, not only did my vocal range, dynamics and overall vocal quality improve, so did my understanding of the physiology of the human voice, the proper and safe way to sing and the overall use of the body to maximize my potential. Additionally, her coaching skills in and around my career in and out of the industry dramatically improved my approach to my music and the industry altogether. Laura Kessler does not take a cookie cutter approach to her clients. Her approach to her clients is as unique as their voices themselves.”
