Not one voice is the same, and to train the voice effectively; the vocal trainer must consider each singer’s physical, practical, and psychological innuendos. For this reason, generic exercises are not equally beneficial. Christine develops technical exercises specific to her clients’ vocal needs, allowing all singers to find their full vocal potential and perform with skill, strength and confidence.
