While meeting with several potential clients recently, it came to my attention that they’re changing their modus operandi somewhat for their professional training to online courses. While what follows isn’t intended to offend anyone who provides online courses, it is intended to grab this subject by the reins and explain some very important training basics when it comes to the performing arts.
1. Nothing replaces good, professional, one-on-one training.Across the board, online exercises are good for some in terms of gaining some basic knowledge. However, if you want your training to really weed out your personal imperfections, and develop a professional depth of understanding and know-how of application, I have to tell you that online courses alone won’t cut it. If you want to be a professional and have a better chance of making it in this business, you really do need to dig into your training, not just dabble.
2. Every artist has a different weakness that needs to be addressed through individual attention.In my 23 years of coaching singers and actors, what I’ve come to understand is that almost every single artist has some kind of Achilles’ heel that needs to be addressed.
