"Greetings! My name is Annie. I am a West Virginia native. I play guitar and sing and write songs and perform them in front of crowds large and small. I've traveled all over the world doing that and many other things. I am also a fluent French speaker and an avid reader and learner.

I would love to help you improve your vocal technique and range for personal or professional performance. I can give you tips on how to keep your cool in front of a crowd and project your voice with confidence, either singing or speaking. AND, if you are learning French I can help with every aspect of the language, from vocabulary to pronunciation and conversation. I look forward to working with you!

My initiation to the French language was in a classroom but I honed and perfected my language skills by total immersion in the culture. I have lived and worked in French-speaking Belgium as well as in France.

I have been performing for the public since I was a child. I did years of theatre in addition to musical performance. I am totally at ease on stage in from of an audience or a group. Additionally, I am a stickler for excellent grammar and phrasing. I am quick to spot errors and re-phrase myself or offer suggestions for re-writes.

I have a lifelong career as a singer/vocalist. I've spent the last 15 years in Nashville, TN performing live as well as in the studio for hundreds of different projects. I can offer guidance in all aspects of vocal performance in country, bluegrass, blues, R&B and rock. Along the way, I have gained an enormous amount of knowledge of the history of American music.

I would love to meet you and see how my skills can help you develop your career or personal goals! Cheers!" less...
