DIRECTOR/PERFORMANCE COACH TIM CARROLL TO APPEAR ON PANEL FOR RENEE GRANT-WILLIAMS’ 2005 VOCAL MASTER CLASS

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 and New York, to myriad cruise lines in his decade-plus career, and he joins Grant-Williams and other panelists at her 7th annual Master Class to discuss the finer points of “branding” yourself as a complete entertainer.

Since recently relocating to Nashville, Carroll’s expertise has been sought out by 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.

“Tim helps new artists develop every aspect of their entertaining skills by bringing their natural abilities to the surface in live performances,” says Grant-Williams. “I’m so excited that he’ll be sharing his knowledge with us at this year’s Master Class; he’s a perfect example of the type of professional that can help a great singer become a great performer.”

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 seminar that has proven to be invaluable not only to singers, but has also benefited public speakers, record producers, audio engineers, and others interested in honing their vocal abilities. 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.
