currently working in the industry and also teaches at Reddam House, a private
school in Tokai, where she has been employed for the past six years.
- Techniques
-
Dezi says: "The techniques I teach are based on tried and tested methods
that are currently being used by some top international performers i.e.
Madonna, Michael Jackson, Sting, George Michael, etc... Many of the
excercises are similar to those in "Speech Level Singing", but I use other
excercises that I have devised."
-
- Some Pointers
-
"Breathing is also an integral part of singing. I have been a
professional singer myself for many years, so I understand how important
stage craft is. I know that good microphone technique can make or
break a performance. Where you stand, how you stand, your eye
movements, your hand movements... DICTION!!!! The audience being
able to hear every word of the lyric is also of huge importance."
