Male vs Female Coach?

     Hi,


    I started to think about the following today - I made a choice to follow Camille's 30-days introduction course (I have so far watched 2 videos). Since I follow her videos, I thought it might also be best for me to sign up for a Live Lesson with her.

    However, since I am a male, is it wiser of me to follow Jonathan or Jon and then sign up for a live lesson with Abram, or maybe it doesn't matter?

    Best wishes,
    Joel

    Hey, Joel! 

    If you want to hear demonstration in your octave, follow Jonathan's course. We use the same outline, but you can hear him singing in your range. In my course, I do play your pitches or starting notes, but I'll sound different than you!

    As for a live lesson, booking with Abram is a great idea. I'm happy to teach you - but again, if you want to hear things demonstrated in your octave, a male teacher will do that.

    Thanks for your answer Camille, I've canceled our booked live lesson. :)

    Now I have another problem, I want to try what the live lessons are like, by using my free monthly 15 minutes meeting. But now, it seems to me, that I cannot use it when I try to book a lesson with Abram. Is it possible for me to use it somehow?

    Best wishes,
    Joel

    You're welcome, Joel!

    15-minute checkins are free for full access members. Full-length lessons (30 or 60 minutes) are still paid, but there's a discount going on now. Are you trying to book a checkin with Abram, or a full length lesson?

    Checkin with Abram. It was possible to book one with you, but it seems that I cannot do it with Abram.

    Best wishes,
    Joel

    Oh, I see! I went to Abram's page, and it looks like he's not offering checkins right now. But you can book a lesson with him - prices are discounted as a response to the pandemic. If you decide to reschedule a checkin with me, I'm happy to help!

    Hi Camille,

    I booked a checkin with you this Thursday. I don't know how usual or unusual it is, but can we use the 15 minutes the following way:

    I basically want someone to steer me in the right direction and tell me what I should be focusing on the next 1 or 2 weeks. I don't think I have any control over my voice, and maybe I should be focusing on ear-training for a week or so before I tackle any of the exercises, I'm not sure. As a first meeting, I would just like to have some personal advice from an expert, what I should be focusing on. Depending on how much time we have left, maybe we can go through one of the warmups too. Does that sound good to you?

    By the way, last week was quite bad for me. I couldn't find so much time for singing and doing exercises :(. But hopefully, I will have more time now.

    Best wishes,
    Joel

    Sounds good, Joel! I'm here to help, and that sounds like a good plan.
