Former co-workers and pals, they catch up, discuss music and vocal health.
Plus, Katie demonstrates a short vocal warm-up.
Considered one of LA’s finest vocal coaches, Katie Riggs has been teaching voice for over twenty-one years. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Katie grew up at the knee of arguably the most distinguished and successful voice teacher in the business, her father Seth Riggs, creator of Speech Level Singing. His voice training has worked for many of the world’s best singers. It’s been studied by over 200 Grammy winners, including Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Cher, Tina Turner, Josh Groban, Barbara Streisand, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Julio Iglesias, Luther Vandross, and Madonna.
Working side-by-side with her father earned Katie a lifetime of training. It’s given her extraordinary vocal insight, extensive knowledge and instincts second to none.
