In conjunction with Carrie Marshall Music, this 12 session artist intensive is for singers OR songwriters. Carrie will format a specific program tailored to each individual. All levels welcome, from beginner to professional!

The intensive includes:

10 - hour long, private sessions 

2 -  group classes (held on Fridays 6 p.m.)

1 -  showcase

In private sessions, Carrie will designate a specific day/time for each student, TBD after registration. Carrie specializes in helping clients find their artistic voice and freedom with singing & performance artistry. From troubleshooting issues surrounding technique & vocal control, to the mental and behavioral challenges that can plague performers (performance anxiety, confidence and stage presence, etc.) Carrie comes alongside each student to customize a vocal regimen that is applicable for them specifically, addressing their issues and concerns. 

Songwriters will explore their unique voice and writing style. Focus will be on the craft of songwriting, song and harmonic structure, lyrics and music theory.

 Group vocal sessions gives each student a chance to practice performing, whether it’s  getting comfortable singing in front of others, sharing original material or workshopping a song before an audition or performance. Group sessions are a wonderful way to collaborate, gain confidence and meet other vocal artists and songwriters! The final showcase is a ticketed event open to the public, giving students a professional performance experience.

This is an advanced acting class designed for actors who have already studied with Estes or have significant performance experience. Admitance into class will be by interview/audition only or through previous work with Estes. Techniques for Stage, Television, and Film will be addressed as well as skills working towards bold, strong character choices and professional level acting skills. Some current students are already working professionally or auditioning and performing regularly in theatre, film, and television. That is certainly not a requirement but must be committed to learning. $50.00 Non-refundable deposit to hold a spot. To interview email Estes at etarver@mac.com

This class is for teenagers with a desire to learn more about acting, script analysis, character, and world building through the exploration of scenes and monologues. In a comfortable and fun learning environment we will focus on the the personalization of scenes and relationships to scene partners. Students will learn and hone key tools including objective, obstacle, actions, and physicality, while encouraging their inner confidence and playfulness. It is the goal to have every student give themselves permission to stretch the limits of what they believe a scene or monologue contains so that they can reach the heights of their imagination and take the journey to becoming a great actor with disciplined but fun and imaginative technique. $50.00 non-refundable deposit to hold a spot.
