I am a classically trained, professional singer with 30+ years of experience in various performance genres, in addition to teaching experience. I love to teach passionate students; students who truly want to succeed and make their voices the very best that they can become. I will assess your voice and your ear during our initial session. If I feel I can help you, I will teach you the techniques of proper breathing, support, breath control, intonation, vocal health, diction, etc. Vocal exercises will be liberally employed throughout your lesson time, as they are the very best tool to help develop and strengthen your voice, eliminate/smooth 'breaks' (i.e., passagios), and eventually expand your vocal range, if possible.
Once you have established a strong foundation and are ready to grow, I will teach you about dynamics and how to phrase a tune artistically so that you can properly and effectively tell its story. A good voice is only part of the picture; dynamics, phrasing, a good ear and rhythmic sense are other important/essential elements of the equation.
What are some of the benefits of vocal training?
* Vocal Excellence
* Avoid Vocal Injury
* Musical Self-Confidence
* Preserve Your Voice for the Long Haul
* Pleasure for Both You and Your Audience!
Additional benefits for professional musicians:
* Capture and Hold Audience Attention
* Become More Employable and Better Able to Build a Following
* Professional Musicians Add an Extra Dimension to Their Performances
must know how to play technical rhythms and lead parts as well, if you cannot do an arpeggio or a sweep do not bother contacting, experience in a band not just someone who can play, we need a person who can tour, play shows and get into the bars that we play at, reliable with transpo, no drugs (420 is ok) no ego's there is already enough of that, experience in a real band environment playing long distance shows, promoting, doing your part as a member of your band, your own gear and METAL only, no conflicts with ideology we are Luciferion Left hand path BLACK METAL musicians and we do not appreciate oppressors. You will have to wear Corpse Paint and dress in Black Metal Attire during shows no exceptions, 21 and over and NO VICES!!!!!
we are searching for a studio and will be getting in there to record a full length album and then none stop shows after, this is a full time job, if your not committed there is no tolerance, we are dedicated individuals so be ready to work hard and be rewarded, if you are a commuter that is great as long as you make it for practices, gigs, recordings, promotions etc.
Students: if school does not get in the way you get to play.
Employed: great, does not get in the way you get to play.
SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY NO DRIFTERS, BAND WHORES, WEEKEND WARRIORS OR PART TIMERS!!!!!
Let’s try to put together a set (or 2) of really tight material with an eye toward gigging, but mostly just to see what develops and (hopefully) make some really great music! If it is right and tight, the gigs will follow.
You can hear some tracks of me solo @ myspace.com/benjaminkemp. They are a few years old, except for the first one. None of them would necessarily be included in this project, but should give you an idea of what I sound like. My general philosophy is that less is more, and that after great songwriting, dynamics are the most vital element of a good band.
Prefer local (greater Olympia area). Would like “seasoned” players, but realize that chemistry can be as important as ability. If any of this sounds interesting, shoot me an email w/your phone # and we’ll go from there.
I live in Lacey, Washington. I am willing to commute up to as far as Tacoma/Puyallup. I am willing to write lyrics or sing what is written. I am agianst songs about emotions or girlfriends and will right out refuse. I have a little ego, but that deals with the superiority of Man rather than my abilities. I am easy going and really easy to get along with and I never mind sharing the front with another vocalist. I don't mind drinking nor weed, but I will not participate in a band that lets any drug or alcohol negatively effect its performance.
You can it me up at: (360)628-0042 [call or text]
If it helps, my car can fit an entire drum set, two bass drums or not.
I have a pretty busy schedule with not a lot of free time but I can commit to jamming once a week for a nice long several hour musical experience. Seriously, I am not a flake and I am very easy to get along with, two traits that can be somewhat rare for a musician.
To hear the music I used to make with my friend and some of my solo stuff check out http://www.myspace.com/echosofinfiniti Basically all of it was recorded live. I just put up two new drone type tracks "The Dance of the Wooly Mammoth" and "The Sounds nO))) computer can make"

I've got a day job; I'm not looking to change careers. I've sung (yelled) in hardcore/crossover bands before. If you're looking for 'lalalala' butt rock signer, go elsewhere.
If you think Metallica sucks or if you're looking to play some heavy music with some social conscious lyrics - then lets chat. I'm older and mature; can handle younger - if you're mature. Must be legal to have a beer - and that's young - so no kids. I have whatever I need - or can afford to get whatever I need and don't have. Have a job and desire to have fun. I like to make pits mosh.....so say the voices inside my head.
