Shocking Discovery!! |
Extensive Research Shows that Less than 15% of us are Really Happy with the Quality of Life that we're Experiencing – meaning 85% of us are NOT! |
Some people have dreams and goals that they never follow, or don’t dare to even attempt. Many of you have secret dreams of becoming a singer, but have many reasons or excuses that hold you back.
Some common excuses are, “My Mum told me I sound terrible”, “My choir master told me to mime because I sing out of tune/too loudly/off key”, “I got married and gave up my dreams”, “I have stage fright”, “It’s too expensive”, “I’m scared of the microphone”, “I’m not good enough”…
These reasons, and many more, hold you back from realizing your full potential in life.
Private Vocal Coaching with Elisa James is much more than just singing – it’s embarking on a Spiritual, Emotional and Physical journey to enrich your life and overcome your obstacles.

Presenting Elisa James - Cabaret Entertainer
 |
Hi, my name is Elisa James and I would like to introduce you to one of the most effective ways of improving your vocal ability, confidence and stage presence - Whether you sing Pop, Rock, Jazz, Musical Theater, Cabaret or want to deliver a winning presentation or speech: my unique HAPS program is for you.I began my life as a painfully shy little girl with serious self-esteem and confidence issues. I would hide behind my mother’s skirt if anyone spoke to me, and I would not leave the house. |
Elisa is a truly fabulous teacher. Not only is she an expert on the technical side of voice training, she is also extremely motivating and adapts her teaching style to the learning style of the student. Truly amazing. In addition, she is also an exceptional performer, and brings that rare experience to her teaching. - Peter L, Palm Beach, FL |
As a teen I suffered from depression, anxiety, and lack of self esteem, which led to chaotic thought processes and a chaotic life. I never thought I would have control over my thoughts, my life or my destiny.
Since then I have spent more than 30 years studying and performing all types of Performing Arts Programs – from a dancer, acrobat, and trapeze artist, to studying music and singing through the Conservatorium in Sydney, training with the best voice teachers in Sydney Australia, London and Amsterdam, performing all over Europe, Australia and America with bands, in Theaters, Musical productions, in recording studios with famous rock bands and on tour, sailed the world on luxury cruise ships, and then moved to America to perform Cabaret shows.
Because of my experiences both on stage and off as a performer, I have overcome many of life’s obstacles, learned to take risks and live the life of my dreams. I have seen so many people of all ages struggle with the same types of problems that I had, and one by one I now help people from all walks of life follow their dreams and achieve their goals.

VOCAL PERFORMANCE CLASS!
Elisa James has been wonderful since the day we met. I was fortunate to find Elisa a few weeks before a big performance, and she not only helped me vocally, but she also made me feel comfortable with the overall performance, making the show a great success. Elisa also shared her knowledge and experience about performing on cruise ships around the world, and it’s thanks to her that I’m leaving on my first job on a cruise ship, after many previously unsuccessful applications. Elisa has made my dreams a reality. - Adriana Zabala, Boynton Beach |
MORE ABOUT HAPS™
All group workshops and private vocal coaching sessions incorporate elements of the unique Elisa James HAPS™ Method, and begin with the basics right through to preparing for your first show.
Group workshops are for beginner singers, actors, speakers, dancers and performers.
For the more dedicated singing student I suggest private vocal coaching sessions with Elisa James.
HAPS™ is based on the belief that there are many different facets to being able to give a great performance.
We may have a very gifted young student, who has a beautiful and natural singing voice, but has no self esteem or confidence, and may be in a bad state of health, be it mind, body or spirit.
We may have a talented singer who is constantly straining her voice, due to not knowing her instrument well enough.
HAPS™ can be of assistance.
Many group singing classes teach basic warm-up exercises and breathing techniques, work on a group song every week, and … that's it! HAPS™ is a more comprehensive course that works intensively with the entire class, then groups of four, then pairs, and finally solo work as student confidence improves.
HAPS™ is all about performing with the mind, body and spirit, be it a public speaking engagement, dance recital, drama performance, poetry recital, or singing performance. The WHOLE being must be involved to give a valuable and memorable performance.
|
HAPS™ is based around eight study modules:
|
I believe that the beginner student should receive as much information and hands-on experience as possible, because only then, after a positive group experience, can they decide whether they are serious enough about their craft to warrant further musical education with a private tutor.
| Teaching a man who has never sung before is a challenge all in itself, but doing so to prepare him to sing in front of a crowd at his own wedding is a much greater challenge! I came to learn from Elisa several months before my wedding, and she was so happy to help. Thanks to Elisa, my wife and I (and all of the guests) have extra memories from the wedding we will never forget! - Adam Pallesen, Boynton Beach, FL |

WHY HAPS™?
The Holistic Approach to Practical Singing™ is a unique course which greatly differs from most conventional methods of teaching.
The course has eight Modules and works just as well in group workshops or in private vocal tuition.
HAPS™ deals with the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body.
Each person is treated as a unique whole being and are encouraged to explore their natural talents.
HAPS™ teaches the student how to challenge themselves as a person and artist and helps people from all walks of life to become more centered, focused, relaxed and confident.
Most students will commence the course with a specific goal in mind, however, if your only goal is to be able to speak or sing confidently in front of a live audience, then HAPS™ will give you the tools to do so.
Students will have varying degrees of talent and drive but each person will leave the course with a greater sense of appreciation for their unique vocal gifts.
HAPS™ is much more than just a Singing course!
Life can be complicated and confusing at times, and it is highly important for all of us to have a creative and/or musical outlet. We all have a need to express our emotions, be they positive or negative, and singing is a wonderful medium for just that.
HAPS™ is a constantly evolving program that is consistently being improved and re-written to accommodate every person and every voice. I hope you will join us!
