"A genuine creative deep dive that magically transforms a performance before your very eyes."

“Richard's class is a genuine creative deep dive that magically transforms a performance before your very eyes. It was a joy witnessing him work with other students-- they'd bring in a popular piece from their book we had all heard before to not much fanfare. But after taking them through a series of personal and insightful questions, every one of these performers would return to the piece with so much unique specificity and genuine emotion that it often brought us to tears. Seeing a performance go from being just "nice" to being a memorable and deeply resonant specific emotional character journey is truly like a magic trick. There is no substitute for the experience of being fully in-the-moment as you sing, and Richard can give you that gift, that freedom. His classroom environments are highly supportive, inspiring and fun. Just a big fat highly recommend-- not to be missed for any lover of musical theater who wants to up their stage game!”
