About

Have you ever had one of those days when you were singing, acting, dancing, or involved in an athletic endeavor, and for one brief moment, you experienced a higher level than ever before? This is the "Eureka!" moment we all long for as artists. Now our bodies have shown us a higher path, and I have developed a method to re-create his experience vocally. It's what I call "hollowing out the pipe", so that we can have a "no walls-no ceiling" feeling....like flying with our voices!

Thanks!.....Sheila Barish

    After much performing, one of my voice teachers told me that there was an opening for a voice teacher at Miami Dade College.  I found that I was a natural teacher and loved the one-on-one experience.

    Students interested in musical theatre, classical, jazz, pop, sacred

    I do an annual concert with several colleagues at a church in Coral Gables (whose acoustics are right out of heaven).....and we always end with "The Prayer".  At this past June's concert, we were so in sync, that I felt like I was lifting up off the stage...very transcendent experience...

    Make sure to look around until you find someone whose advice you can trust, and with whom you have a very good rapport.  I feel there must be a real connection in a one-on-one class for significant growth to take place.

    Questions to the prospective teacher:

    "How can you help me with a process that would sustain me, should I be cast in a musical with a long run?  How can I preserve vocal health, even with nightly performances?"

    "Do you emphasize vocal freedom, rather than trying to powerhouse my voice?"

    "Can you help me smooth out my vocal transitions?"
