(Andy) • Victoria Klewin is a professional vocalist with over a decade of performing experience in a wide variety of musical styles, from popular song to jazz, classical and more. The very best musicians will be selected for your wedding day and you will have a range of instrumentation, songs and styles to choose from. • Find the perfect musical option for every stage of your wedding day- a romantic song during the service, background music while you eat, a full band playing upbeat music for the reception. • Choose songs from current repertoire (including original material), or make a special request and Victoria and the band will learn it for you! • If you would like to surprise your guests and your bride/husband-to-be with a special song of your choosing, try some Vocal Coaching. As a professional vocal coach, it's Victoria's job to prepare you to either sing live on the day or help you to make a high quality recording of your chosen song to be played whenever you like. Here is a review from Louise, a bride who used these services - "I just wanted to let you know that my husband was absolutely blown away by the song, as were many of the guests who remained at the end of the night and so witnessed my first ever singing performance! I can't tell you how much it means to me that we pulled it off!! Thank you for making it happen." • You can also take advantage of the unique 'Bespoke Songwriting Service'. As an accomplished songwriter, Victoria can help you write an original personalised song as a very special surprise for your loved one. This song can then be performed live at your wedding or recorded beforehand, either by Victoria or by you, with vocal coaching assistance on-hand if required. - QUICK LINKS - www.victoriaklewin.com Here you will find more information about Victoria's various projects and services, plus sound/video clips and photos. www.myspace.com/victoriaklewin This is the online home of 'Victoria Klewin & The TrueTones', Victoria's main band project.
