VANESSA RACCI VOICES:
A CONTEMPORARY VOCAL STUDIO BY VANESSA RACCI
It’s challenging to find contemporary, athletic minded voice teachers in Westchester, NY who offer the same quality and professionalism as NYC teachers. Vanessa aims to solve that problem!
Former Manhattanite and trained professional singer and voice teacher, Vanessa Racci, will help students learn how to develop and improve their singing skills through a practical understanding of singing anatomy and the routine exercises that help them fulfill their vocal potential. Vocal cords are muscles just like any other and should be trained as such, just like athletes. Using her training from NYC Vocal Coaching School and 25+ years of professional performance experience, with current touring schedule of 50 shows per year around the country, Vanessa aims to teach students everything she knows to ensure their success.

The three parts of voice and how to exercise each register
How to put vocal technique into a song
How to deliver a dynamite performance (Pitch, Rhythm, Tone, Dynamics, Emotion, etc)
