At Joann C Chang Studios, I am dedicated to preparing students for a wide range of auditions and performances, including choirs, musical productions, talent shows, and student plays. I work closely with each student to select the perfect song that highlights their unique gifts and talents, whether it’s their vocal range, dynamic expression, or stage presence. I also focus on refining diction and confidence to help them land their preferred roles.
In addition to vocal coaching, I help students start performing at open mics, guiding them from singing alone to confidently performing in front of a crowd. I also create various opportunities for them to showcase their skills, including biannual recitals and other performance events.
For those preparing for more specialized performances, like worship leading, I offer tailored training in leading a congregation with spiritual songs, playing an instrument, and overcoming stage fright.
My commitment doesn’t end in the studio—I love supporting my students by attending their shows and performances, celebrating their growth and successes. Let me help you shine on stage!
