What kind of voice does he teach? I studied voice with George Peckham in the 70's in Seattle. He also coached Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell and a host of other pop stars. He was quite a teacher and at age 78 his daughter was graduating from high school.
My guru's website link is below and he also has some videos including a recent one on his channel. Speaking of voice coaches I've been trying to get him to an accent reduction coach. Maharishi did well because his accent wasn't so bad. http://realtantrasolutions.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/swami999 On 09/28/2012 05:10 AM, Share Long wrote: > Thanks, nooz, going out of town today.
