About

My students get those jobs.

My techniques are derived from classic Italian vocal traning. In terms of acting, I have decades of Voice & Acting lesson teaching experience and have studied with the worlds leading teachers including the late, great Lee Strasberg of the Actor’s Studio and Lee Strasberg Theater Institute.

It is exciting to watch my students grow into confident aspiring professionals. With my professionals, it is rewarding when they get that job.

I enjoy teaching acting and vocal technique and creating in my students a thorough professional approach to these disciplines.

I teach each discipline separately and inclusive for voice students who need a voice technique and acting skills.

    In my precious post I did not realize that I hadn’t entered the correct star rating. I vote Pat an absolute 5 star experience!

    The instructor influenced me to go beyond just thinking about my voice. She taught me how to stay true to myself as an artist; to not copy what others artists do and how o physically and emotionally connect to the characters I portray. In regards to singing, she taught what no other teacher taught me and that was proper breathing. After only three lessons, I improved dramatically.

    Pat has helped me accomplish a level of singing I never dreamt I was capable of. From an extremely shy person who wouldn’t even sing alone in her shower to performing in duets at our Christmas concert and in front of Vietnam vets! More than that her lessons have given me confidence to face difficult life situations.
    Pat has endless patience and her techniques are easy to follow. I love her classes, and I am grateful for the wonderful group of people I have met thanks to her.

    I liked being able to come in as an untrained voice and through pedagogy and practice become a better, more experienced performer. Cannot comment on acting. Did not sign up for that.

    What I liked is that I learned as a singing actor is to emphasize with the character being portrayed so as to effect a realistic interpretation.

    The techniques I have learned have opened my voice in ways I never thought possible for a singer my age. Singing is about joy and self discovery and Pats skull as a voice and life coach has opened up worlds for me.

    Frequently asked questions

    I conduct a lesson/evaluation and make a recommendation at the end of the lesson.

    I have an extensive background that can be found at:

    joyofsingingnj.com.  I trained in college and with Lee Strasberg and at HB studios in NYC and  performed straight theater before performing classical and music theater.  My performing of many styles of music including the blues, evolved into teaching in 1986 therefore I have a broad understanding of many styles of music and coach acting also in tandem with singing.  I teach both disciplines separately and in combination with singing.

    For voice lessons I have a number of ways to study including 1 hr. 50 and 45 minute on a sliding scale pricing.

    Acting lessons are $85. Per session that is at least one hr.

    Olympia Dukakis was my first voice student in 1986.

    I work with all levels including beginners through professional actors and singers.

    Ask what the lesson will consist of and state your goals asking the teacher how he or she will attempt to help you reach those goals.  Ask the cost, duration of the lesson and how long you will need to study.
