Play Singing at Personal Studio - Deborah

Bio: I started taking voice lessons at 16. At Louisiana State University, I majored in Music and Drama and went on to study acting in New York at Circle int he Square Theater School. I became an Equity member (professional union) in 1976. I studied singing with Maurice Jampol (coach to Lisa Minelli, Donna McKecknie and Barbra Streisand) for 2 years, then with Michael Jones, coach to NYU music and drama students and most recently with Sally Morgan, the creator of the "Sing Like you Speak" method I now use with my students. More about my performance activities here. In the late 1980's I became very interested in the performance genre of Cabaret. I spent several years appearing in New York Cabaret rooms learning this craft and studying there with Christopher Denny, Barry Kleinbort and Steve Ross. I began writing my own shows in 1990 and to this day consider myself a singing actress. I love to connect with the story, the character and my audience on an intimate level through wonderful music."
