Ruth's Vocal Boot Camp is a comprehensive experience of your body and how to use it to your vocal advantage. I made gains singing after every session--and I was able to keep them by practicing her exercises. I love that I was able to put together my own, personal warm-up based on the specific breath and body issues that I discovered I had. My body is my instrument so gaining knowledge on what to do with my body if my voice isn't working "right" was huge: it's not luck or magic, it's "release, align, engage"! I am a speech-language pathologist, and Ruth's principles have complemented my work with voice patients. Ruth's Boot Camp makes you feel good and sound great! I highly recommend it for performers and teachers of all kinds!  --  Lara Antolik, CCC-SLP, AEA, SAG-AFTRA

Ruth created this 21-video series as the ideal, comprehensive introduction to her work. There is no better way incorporate all the aspects of Ruth's work into your current practice. Ruth's simple and effective exercises help you release misplaced tension, improve posture and alignment, and engage core support.

The series is divided into two parts: FUNDAMENTALS and GOING DEEPER. Videos are grouped into modules (smaller bundles of 2, 3, or 5 videos) that address specific vocal/body problems. Each video is 50-60 minutes long. 

In a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere, Ruth's simple, clear instructions of easy-to-do exercises address common vocal problems, their origins, and their solutions, as well as optimal strategies for vocal warmups. For a more personalized experience, purchase a package that includes private sessions with Ruth via Skype or FaceTime.
