Vocal Coaching

We can officially add 'philanthropist' to Mel's lexicon of descriptors. He has been working with many youth, one pictured here, acting as a sort of mentor.



Really he's doing mostly vocal coaching, but also giving lessons in showmanship, stage presence, and working a crowd. I was observing him work his magic with this young woman in a real life situation.



We can see from the photos that he's leading her in his footsteps. After the coaching session I sat down with the young lady and spoke to her. She said she hopes to audition for American Idol next year and is getting professional help wherever she can get it. I know it takes a lot of work, but I admire both their dedication working so hard before this year's season is really underway!

The best part? Melvis is doing it all for free. You can't beat a guy like Mel, except with a large stick.
