Devon McNaughton, 17
High School Senior
RGVS student since December 2007

"I had a really great time preparing for and performing in the showcase. I learned so much about performing from our amazing instructors and I feel a lot more comfortable on stage as a result. All the other participants in the showcase were really cool, so it was fun to hang out with them and learn about performing together. The actual performance was one of the most exciting things I've ever done, and I felt extremely accomplished and proud of myself afterwards."

Devon started studying with a very scratchy and airy voice, as well as consistently sharp intonation. We strengthened her lower range, which translated to a cleaner tone, correct intonation, and the ability to choose between airy and normal voice production at will.
