PRIVATE COACHING

One-to-one, weekly, with me.
Fort Worth and online worldwide.

 

Most singers do not need a new technique. They need someone who can hear what is actually happening and tell them the truth about it.

 

I have been teaching voice for forty-one years. My students sing on Broadway, at the Metropolitan Opera, and in Nashville, and I still teach beginners every week. What I do in a lesson has not changed much in that time: listen closely, name the real problem, and give you something you can repeat on your own on Tuesday when I am not there.

​

WHAT A LESSON ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE

We start with a question — what are you working on today. Then I move your voice a little, usually a lip trill, to hear where it is that day.

​

Then we go where you want to go, and after that we go where you need to go. Those are rarely the same place, and the order matters.

​

You sing all the way through something. Not fragments. Not warm-ups for fifty minutes and then time is up.

​

We end on something you love, so you leave sounding like yourself.

​

An hour every week, same slot.

​

YOUR FIRST LESSON

I take your voice's height and weight.

​

You hum to the very top and the very bottom while I write down where those actually are — not where you think they are. Then a bright five-note scale to find where your voice shifts, and where it fights you.

​

It goes on a note card. Months later we do it again and put the two cards side by side. Most singers have never once been shown that their range moved. You will be able to see it.

​

WHO THIS IS FOR

Singers preparing auditions, contest, or a role you already have.

​

Adults who sang once and stopped, and have decided to stop apologizing for wanting it back.

​

Students building toward a music or musical theatre program, and the parents trying to figure out what that actually takes.

​

Working singers who need an outside ear they trust.

​

Teachers and worship leaders who use their voice all week and have never been taught how to protect it.

​

I am not accepting students under 12 at this time.

​

ONLINE LESSONS WORK — MINE DO

Online voice teaching has a bad reputation because most of it is a laptop and hope.

​

I run a second camera on your hands and the keyboard, a proper audio configuration on both ends, and Appcompanist so you have a real accompanist at your own tempo and your own key instead of a recording you have to chase.

​

Singers in other time zones get the same lesson my Fort Worth students get. I would not offer it otherwise.

​

RATES

Private lesson, 60 minutes — $125

Monthly, four lessons — $400

Studio registration — $50, due September 1 each year, whenever you join.

​

I post my prices because hiding them wastes your time and mine. If this is not the right number for you right now, I would rather you know that today than after three emails.

​

HOW IT WORKS

Lessons are billed monthly, not per lesson, and the payment comes out the same day each month.

​

It is month to month. Thirty days' notice to stop, any time, no conversation required.

​

Missed lessons are billed. Your slot is held for you every week, the way a gym membership is — but if you give me notice I will do my best to swap you with another student rather than lose the hour.

​

After our conversation you'll sign two forms — Studio Registration and a Media Release — before your first lesson.

​

WHEN WEEKLY LESSONS ARE NOT THE THING ANYMORE

Some singers reach a point where the voice is not the problem.

 

You can sing. What you cannot do is figure out where the work comes from, what to charge, how to be found, or who to send anything to. No amount of technique fixes that, and an hour a week is the wrong container for it.

 

That is what B.A.S.S. is — a full year, twelve singers, four hours a week, covering career management and marketing strategy alongside the singing.

 

I ran a talent agency and was the agent and the manager both, which is where the four-hour number came from.

 

Most people in it started here, in a weekly lesson. You do not apply. When it is the right year for you, we will both know, and we will have the conversation then.

THE CAREER DAY

Most singers do not have a talent problem. They have a packaging problem — everything a casting director or a booker would want to see already exists, and nobody can find it.

​

The Career Day fixes that in writing.

​

Before we meet, I go through everything of yours that is public — your site, your socials, your casting profiles, your materials — the way the people who hire you would. Then we spend an hour together, and you leave with a document.

​

What is in it:

• An honest audit of your public footprint, and what each broken piece is costing you

• Your type and range named in the words your industry actually uses

• A positioning statement — the one sentence that makes you memorable

• A twelve-month plan in phases, with real dates

• The three or four numbers worth tracking, and permission to ignore the rest​

​

It is built for where you actually are. Musical theatre, opera, singer-songwriter, gigging musician, the singer working around a day job, or the high school senior heading into auditions — the structure is the same, what fills it is not.

​

$850, one time. One audit, one session, one written plan.

I take two clients a month for this. That is not a marketing device — it is how many I can do properly alongside a full teaching schedule.

​

This is your map. If you want someone walking it with you for a year, that is B.A.S.S. — just above.​

Every Career Day starts with a free 15–30 minute conversation. I will tell you honestly whether it is what you need.

​​​​​​

EVERY STUDENT STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION

I don't take a student without talking with them first. Not once in forty-one years.

Fifteen to thirty minutes, no charge, no pitch. You tell me what you're working on and what hasn't been working. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right teacher for it — including when the answer is no.

I also can't promise you a space. I teach a set number of hours a week and they are often full. If there isn't a slot when we talk, I'll say so, and tell you where you are on the list.

If it's a fit and there's room, you'll get two forms after we talk — Studio Registration, and a Media Release.

PROOF

"LK  Fletcher is largely the reason I am the artist I am today. She has a gift for empowering singers and pushing them to be their greatest selves. With an intuitive ear and the ability to communicate with singers in a creative and organic way, she is supremely gifted to guide and mold the stars of tomorrow."— Jennifer Cherest Flory, Soprano, International Opera Singer

 

"She focuses on training the entire singer head to toe, both as an actor and a singer."— Prof. Christine Blanner, Director of Opera, Drake University

THE METHOD

Everything above sits on Lose Yourself Onstage — a five-step method that moves a singer out of performing a song and into inhabiting one. Borrowed from method acting, rebuilt for people whose instrument is the voice.
