"The Voice Is A Beautiful Instrument!" ________________________________________That quote is from one of my favorite college professors. Yes, your voice IS an extremely beautiful instrument. And if you're serious about treating it right, it'll always be beautiful! My name is Clif Payne. I've been a professional singer for many years. As a Bay Area and LA resident, I've been fortunate to sing with some of the biggest names in the Biz. I've also sung on commercials for Manwich and Chevrolet (just to name a few). Oh yes, and I'm a 2-time Star Search winner. Combine all the gigging with some healthy encouragement from some world-class vocal coaches, and you have an experienced singer in performance and technique. I emphasize that you must be serious about developing through the many aspects of vocal improvement. It will take diligence and time. But, that is how dreams are eventually realized, right? I've asked my students,"Who's your favorite singer?" I've gotten a variety of answers: Chris Brown, Daltry, Mario, Stevie Wonder, Luther and more. Some students are surprised to hear that these great singers have vocal teachers and coaches! Hey listen, when you sell alot of CDs and do alot of concerts, you have to know how to keep your voice in shape. My colleagues in the music biz have always associated me with versatility & stylistic diversity. You know the old saying, "There's only 2 kinds of music--good & bad." When it comes to singing, we just wanna make the good kind! Your voice is indeed a beautiful instrument. Call me, Clif Payne, at (510) 280-4046, and we'll talk about my teaching method.
