7 diction lessons

In this first meeting we not only jumped straight into diction, but also interpretation of the poetry and books I might get on both Alexander Blok's life and very basic Russian vocabulary & grammar (so there would be some context for the poetry I will be singing). It's only a few days later and I've gone from near-zero to feeling okay reciting and singing the first piece. Brava!
Trevor C.

1 diction lesson

Of these, Sean struck me, from his first comments regarding diction, as an excellent option when I need assistance and his flexibility allowed for us to meet on short notice, making him the perfect choice for an urgent assignment. He respectfully guided me to a greater understanding of how a reader will perceive my structures and educated me on the subtle nuances that turn great writing into truly exceptional writing.
Manny N.

17 diction lessons

Not really knowing Sara and how this would go, I just went for one lesson. My daughter told me how great Sara was and how exciting that lesson was. That was exactly what I wanted to hear! So that first lesson was followed by a few more and I have seen and heard the marked improvement in my daughter's speech - pronunciation, diction, thoughtful sentences, and her consciouselimination of unnecessary crutch words (as in, "like", "i mean","you know").
