Vocal Boot Camp

This program is amazing
I am a professional singer, even though i was on the reality show The Voice in Mexico and i did different shows there i never had the training that i have here. Craig Derry is an extraordinary mentor, unlike regular teachers he has all the experience and he takes time to talk about God (in a non religious atmosphere) and spirit. There are a few other persons who are singers on Broadway, recording artists or performers who come to mantain a healthy voice.
Youll get many opportunities here, and chances to perform prior to go on a show or audition.
Craig is the deal, you will gain confidence and your path in the music scene and he is an amazing human! Don’t miss the chance to greatness:)

Craig Derry’s Vocal Boot Camp/​Vocal Fitness has changed my life for the better. I have witnessed my own transformation as an artist as well as my peers in this group setting. Many of my associates outside of the workshop have also commented on my vocal progress as well as stage presence and crowd control. Vocal Boot Camp/​Vocal Fitness has pushed me out of my comfort zone, sending me properly equipped to perform on stages throughout New York City and beyond. Unlike private lessons (which Craig also offers), the workshop setting means performers are always faced with an audience, allowing for real-​in-​the-​field training, crowd interaction and a multitude of feedback. The vocal exercises challenge me, keep me in shape physically and mentally, increase my lung capacity and improve my improvisation, ear and confidence. Additionally, I am now linked with a network of bright and supportive music professionals that mimics the dynamic of family.

I have been a student for about 2 months now and I must say these classes are worth every penny. Its a very open environment where you are free to express yourselves however you feel, after all were all artists. Craig is definitely not the typical «stack of books on your head» vocal coach, hes honest, hes real, ive been to some classes where hell stay late even past midnight to work with us. Ive learned WAY more from him than ive learned at any other vocal class ive ever been to, (more than the ones where i paid $ 80 an hour). There are amazing networking opportunities there as well and if you need to see Craig one on on hes there for you and i can always expect to hear the truth from him cause after all, its either you hear it from him or your audience. you choose.

I attended Mr. Derry’s vocal boot camp for the first time and I must say I am highly disappointed. The class was extremely unorganized. There was a large amount of time spent just sitting around waiting on him. There were a few occasions where he actually stopped the class to go attend to «personal» matters.
Throughout the class he was repeatedly throwing around the «N» word, which I honestly let slide because he’s a black man. The finally straw for me came when he referred to Donnie Mcclurkin as a «faggot» and then proceed with an all out Faggot tirade. I promptly packed my stuff and walked out, all the while he was trying to get me to engage in an argument with him. I’ve learned not to argue with fools, but a part of me wish I took the time to cut him down to size. Everyone is entitled to their personal opinions, but in a professional setting and especially because his class was filled with impressionable kids in their late teens and early 20’s, he really needs to learn some professionalism.
Let me make this clear, I am not a sensitive PC person. I actually like people who are outspoken and honest. However, I was raised to treat all people regardless of race, social class, or sexual orientation with respect and dignity. I hope his students who decided to stay and listen to all that hate learn never to compromise their integrity just because they feel someone can do something for them.

I have attended Craig Derry’s Vocal Boot Camp several times now, and will continue to do so. I find it to be a great class for singers to learn the tools to sustain a healthy voice while singing night after night. I think its great for all levels beginners and pro’s.
Craig has a lot of experience to share and is offering a great deal (which shows that he really cares about artists). I definitely recommend this class. It truly is like taking your voice to the gym for a workout with great results!
