Studio Sessions
On location, or at his well equipped home studio, Jeff has the artistic and technical skills to help you get the best vocal takes possible.
The focus is always on the client, and the service to the song that they are creating. Jeff's mastery of ProTools means that the environment remains seamlessly creative, allowing the session to pick up momentum and let the artist get the performance they truly desire for their track.
"It wasn't until I met Jeff that I finally understood what exactly I had to do in order to sing with confidence. Any person in the San Francisco Bay Area who wishes to make progress with voice and/or music as either a career or hobby must study with Jeff."
