Overholt has also studied and performed as an

coach Michael Shurtleff and has appeared in television
and in feature film ("Jasper, Texas" with John

shows, she books international artists. She is
able to bring out a top-notch performance from
singers, including big stars as well as absolute
novices. Ms. Overholt has also been an Associate

All
of this experience has led her to a deep understanding
and passion for the human voice, for being onstage,
in the studio, on the road, and above all, she
holds a passion for every individual to reach
down deep and find out what is totally unique
about them that can give them an incredible power
in their own creativity. Through an 12 year relationship
with Sharon, Lois & Bram (North America's top
children's entertainers for 20 years), Elaine
contracted and coached hundreds of child singers
for many of their albums as well as their hit
TV show "Skinnamarink TV", NBC's "Live from Busch
Gardens", appearing alongside Stevie Wonder. She
also coached six children along with Tina herself,
for a Tina Turner recording session.
She
has enjoyed voice coaching for hundreds, including
Richard Gere, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger,
Queen Latifah & Mya on "Chicago" the movie, Lindsay
Lohan and Carol Kane on the upcoming Disney feature
"Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen", Steven
Seagal, Alannah Myles "Black Velvet", Sharon,
Lois & Bram, "Triumph" Edwin (Sony), the hit TV
show "Popstars", Amy Sky, Paul Gross (Due South),
Liona Boyd and Leahy. Elaine has trained singers
for lead roles on Broadway ("The Producers", "Rent",
"Mamma Mia"), major network television, and film.
Record labels (Universal, EMI, Sony & Virgin)
send their artists to Ms. Overholt where they
learn to protect their voices, warm up and develop
stamina and style. She is a master Vocal Producer
in studio sessions, working alongside many well-known
producers who have learned to trust her ability
to coax "magical" performances from recording
artists.
