KATHY KENNEDY
Kathy is a certified Level 5 Speech Level Singing Instructor and member of the Instructor Management Team. She has been studying the SLS technique since 1994.
Kathy has enjoyed a long performance career in the San Francisco music scene. As a lead singer in one of the Bay Area's most sought-after party bands, she has performed before thousands at corporate events around the world, opening for acts like Sheryl Crow, Donna Summer and Tony Bennett. Kathy has also had the opportunity to sing back-up vocals with Mickey Thomas Starship, Bonnie Raitt, and has recorded with Eddie Money and Elvin Bishop. A songwriter as well, she has put together bands of her own, handling rehearsals, promotion, and booking. Her experience as a performing singer has given her the first-hand knowledge to help other singers deal with issues of live performance such as bad sound systems, how to communicate with musicians, and how to keep ones voice intact through tough situations.
Kathy discovered Seth Riggs method in 1994. Unsatisfied with the belting method she had originally been taught, she knew there must be an easier way to produce high notes in her own voice. She found what she was looking for in Speech Level Singing, and began teaching voice in 1995, armed with a strong desire to help others benefit from this great method.
Kathy has been a voice instructor at Seth Riggs Summer Vocal Program in Los Angeles, The Bluebear School of Music in San Francisco, and has also taught classes at The West Coast Songwriters Conference, The Blue Star Music Camp and at Rising Stars Boot camp.
Now co-owner of The Voice Studio in San Francisco, she greatly enjoys working with people of all levels. Kathy has a wonderful ability to meet each student at their level, whether beginners or seasoned pros. Her students have included members of Stevie Wonder's band (2008 tour) and The Matches. She has also helped students prepare for lead roles in West Side Story, Hair, and Grease.
