Over the years I've come to realize more and more that in most people's hearts is a God-given desire to sing. Whether it's professional entertainment, heartfelt worship or simply self-satisfaction, there's an emotional outlet in singing that is like none other. What people don't realize is, most of us have a lot more potential to sing well than we think. It is this latter realization that was the catalyst to my putting the home study program together and setting up the workshops - I realize that they are not a substitute for a great teacher, but I have been amazed at the progress I have seen in people on return visits, and also at the many positive comments I've gotten months later.
My main clients have been voice teachers, schools, musical theater groups, choirs and Christian churches, and every one of them has been a blessing for me! The workshops are fun and fast paced, and there's a lot of one-on-one and group interaction. We go over not only technique exercises and warmup routines, but also stage presence, performance, vocal maintenance, health tips, group blending, harmony, ear-training and more. What we cover often depends on the individual needs of the group. I'm often told that the workshops help develop and/or kindle camaraderie within the group, and that is extremely important!

"Billy's seminar/workshop at the Calvary Chapel Worship Leaders' Conference had the highest attendance and the most complimentary feedback of any of our workshops to date. I highly recommend Billy as a vocal instructor as I have personally benefited from his teaching and the instructional tape series as well" Tony Logan, Coordinator Calvary Chapel Worship Conference
"Billy, thank you for the tremendous job you did with your vocal workshop. I can't begin to tell you what a vast difference and impact it has made on the choir. Their confidence levels, ability and willingness to learn and try new things has greatly improved since the class. You have made my job as director so much easier!!" Raechelle Anderson, Choir Director The Rock Christian Center, Redlands, CA
"Billy, thanks for the very fruitful and successful vocal clinics at this year's Calvary Chapel East Coast Worship Leader Conference. You've made learning vocal technique fun and exciting - it's an answer to prayer to finally have vocal training for contemporary styles of music, too! The "Ultimate Voice Training" tapes are the icing on the cake because they make it possible to take you home with us as a personal vocal coach!"
