Vocal Coaching

In auditions, I hear people sing all the time. But, I do not see them connecting to their material all the time. This is the main thing I try to achieve with my students. We take apart a lyric and discuss it in detail. We map out musical phrases. I suggest techniques to increase stamina so the student can get through to that last note with energy and strength. When we work together, I’ll look through your book and see which songs are serving you well, and which songs it’s time to retire. Even though lessons are taught primarily through Zoom due to the current health situation, it’s a very good time to refresh your book and get ready for when we’re all back in theatres where we belong.

Testimonials

Coaching with Zina has been absolutely amazing. The way she goes through every lyric and phrase always helps bring any song to life! Beyond that, her insider knowledge of the NYC theatre scene/being behind the casting table is invaluable!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Zina. My daughter has been using her as a coach for almost a year now. Zina has brought her to another level. Not only is she an excellent coach, she has helped her organize her book, pick appropriate songs, and has given her such a self esteem boost that she practically begs me to book her a session...I highly recommend anyone looking towards a Broadway career to give Zina a try. You will not be sorry. We love her!

Zina has been the perfect vocal coach for my 14 year old son. He has spent time performing on Broadway, around New York City and in California. As he was becoming a teenager, we wanted to find a teacher who would not only help him learn how to use his new voice but how to share who he is becoming as a person via the lyrics of the songs in his repertoire.

The growth in the last year alone has been incredibly significant. His range is changing and growing, his confidence in how to use his new voice has improved tremendously and his audition book is exciting and challenging! Zina not only teaches him how to navigate a new song and connect himself to the music, but with her own incredible life in the theatre she has a wealth of knowledge that she has to share. She’s always available to help with last minute auditions and callbacks too. We know we are very lucky to have Zina as our son’s vocal coach and friend.
