Act Vocally

Singing Lessons from Karen DeBiasse

Put most people near a karaoke machine and they’re bounding up to the mic, song list in hand.

Example: Cute Paul from marketing (whose rendition of Starship’s “We Built This City” you’ve heard at least a million times).

Exception: you (a.k.a. the Wincing Warbler).

Call Karen DeBiasse. She’s been teaching folks like Juliana Hatfield how to use their bodies and voices on stage for 25 years. (Her own band is called Girl on Top.) And she’s not afraid of the tone-deaf.

Weekly lessons cover how to stand, breathe, wail, and croon your way through any rock, R&B, hip-hop, or punk song you choose.

At the very least, it’ll give you something with which to impress Paul.

Nothing’s gonna stop you now.
