CELEBRITY VOICE COACH RENEE GRANT-WILLIAMS ANNOUNCES PANELISTS FOR 2005 VOCAL MASTER CLASS

The event moves from its downtown location to W274, a state-of-the-art music venue and production facility in nearby Franklin, Tennessee.

Capitol Records Director of A&R Autumn House knows the importance of “branding” an artist. Her career depends on finding and developing superstar artists. With a roster that includes Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley, Trace Adkins, Chris Cagle, and hot newcomer Amber Dotson, House’s skills are evident, and her expert commentary will certainly be of immense value to Grant-Williams’ students.

Claudia Fowler’s client list reads like the top ten of the Billboard country chart. Fowler is one of the most in-demand stylists for country’s “A-list,” including Martina McBride, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, Sara Evans, Trick Pony, Patty Loveless, Faith Hill, Trace Adkins, Katrina Elam, and many more, and she knows what it takes for artists to set themselves apart from the crowd and develop a look that’s all their own.

Peter Zavadil’s love for all things “cinema” can be seen in his work and can be heard in his conversations. With a film degree from the University of New Mexico, Zavadil began his career producing, and for his work, was rewarded with numerous awards, including a national sports Emmy for a Monday Night Football campaign. For his outstanding directorial work, Peter garnered two consecutive CMA “Music Video of the Year Awards.” In 2001 he won for his whimsical Sara Evans piece “Born to Fly” and in 2002, for Brad Paisley’s comedic clip, “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishing Song),” which also held the #1 spot on CMT’s Top 20 for multiple weeks.

Tim Carroll has produced and directed some of the most critically acclaimed shows in the world. He has written and directed shows spanning from Las Vegas to New York. Carroll’s expertise has been in demand recently from Nashville’s top record labels, for which he has worked to hone the performance skills of up-and-coming country stars including Mercury Records artist Billy Currington and Capitol Records acts The Jenkins and Amber Dotson.

Grant-Williams, who is in constant demand by major record labels and entertainers including Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride, Randy Travis, Huey Lewis, and many more, has created a unique, activity-packed day that includes an evening performance showcase where each participant will receive written critiques from a special panel of Nashville music industry professionals. Past attendees of the Master Class include Tommy Shane Steiner, Brad Mates of Emerson Drive, Epic recording artist Mandy Barnett, Sony Records artist Christy Sutherland, Jive Records artist Nikki Cleary, and 2002 Colgate Country Showdown winner Ashley Thompson.
