Voice Training

James is a Speech Coach for Executives, Sales Associates, Pageant Contestants

That’s speaking, not singing. Although James Smith is a Chicago-trained baritone/tenor, he does not teach voice for singing. To be the BEST singer, one must learn voice techniques including pronunciation, diction, grammar, and vocalization from the diaphragm.
