Coaching
Having received a number of queries from performers who would like to run our material with us, we have decided to begin offering our services as coaches. Right now, we have two models: Group Coaching Sessions and 2-on-1 Private Sessions.
As much as we strive for beautiful melodies and humorous or touching lyrics, above all we work to write acting songs; many are really mini-scenes, and we hope that all find their way to emotional truth. Through working with accomplished actors and directors over the past several years, we’ve had the opportunity to learn how to coach our songs and bring out the arcs, humor, and dramatic potential of our material. These sessions will involve digging into the musical and lyrical nuances of our songs to help you better tell their stories. We hope this will be helpful in your auditions, cabaret performances, and more.
2-on-1 Private Coaching — $80 for 1 hour
You’ll get both of us, which is why call it “2-on-1,” giving you a chance to work with us on all aspects of the songs. As part of the session, we’ll also give you free sheet music for any of our songs you want. To book an hour with us at our home-studio or schedule a live video session on Skype, please email us at carnerandgregor@gmail.co[email protected]
Group Coaching — $40 for 2 hours
We hope these will be a fun way for performers to meet one another, learn from each other’s process, and get to see approaches to a variety of our material. Keep reading, or click here to register for a session!
Each session will be 2 hours and include us and 5 performers. We will work with each performer on his or her song for 22 minutes apiece. And everybody will get to be in the room for the whole 2-hour session. The hope is that we can all learn from each other.
If your math is like ours, you’ll find an extra twenty minutes, which we’ve included for the inevitable “running over” and the chance to mingle (and maybe have pizza).
When you sign up and purchase your slot, you’ll select your first and second choice Carner & Gregor song to work on with us; we want to avoid duplicate songs, so, if someone has already signed up for your first choice song, we’ll send you your second choice and offer you the option of doing your first choice number in a subsequent session.
We will send you a pdf of the sheet music free of charge. We’ll also include a midi file to help you learn the music. You should prepare the song in advance, much as you would for an audition.
We will allow a very limited number of auditors at $15 per session at the door. Please email us, if you would like to arrange to sit in.
Register for a session we have scheduled or get a group for five friends together and email us to schedule a group coaching.
