Aces of Trades: It’s all about the voice for singer/vocal coach Harriet Rawlins Hill
Jeff Barron, Lancaster Eagle-Gazette
“I teach vocal technique to people from age 13 to well into their 60s and 70s,” Rawlins Hill said. “I always start from where they are and try to develop their voice in a way that they find pleasing and can use in their day-to-day life. Because there’s lots of ways we use our voice besides singing.”
For example, Rawlins Hill has worked with students who want to have a more authoritative voice to avoid being bullied. She’s also worked with professionals who want to speak more clearly at meetings. Rawlins Hill also works with high school students preparing for their college music auditions.
